This 11-Piece Capsule Wardrobe Is the Only One You'll Need for Fall

Keeping up with an ever-evolving set of fashion trends four seasons each year can quickly exhaust any shopper's budget, not to mention closet space. Well, fret not, because we have the intel that this fall's wardrobe layout need not require more than eleven well-vetted items. Yep, you can get your fall style entirely on point with items that you already have in your wardrobe. The key to unlocking endless fall outfits without spending a single dollar? A capsule wardrobe.

The magic of a capsule wardrobe is that it allows you to really squeeze the sartorial juices out of your clothes. Each item in your capsule should be hand-picked to maximize versatility and suit your personal style, budget, and lifestyle. Think pieces you can wear over and over again in tons of ways. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to capsules since they're meant to be what you love to wear, but to give you an framework of what one could look like, we've created our very own version that you can use as a jumping-off point.

The benefits of a capsule wardrobe:

The list of benefits that come with creating a capsule wardrobe goes on and on, but in general, streamlining your closet to just a few key essentials each season frees up space both physically and mentally, and emotionally, too. That means more time, money, and storage space that you can allocate to things other than clothes. Yep, getting dressed and packing for any trips just became 100% easier.

Abiding by a capsule wardrobe is also a great way to hone in on your personal style. By narrowing your closet, you can be sure that every outfit you put on is one you feel your best in since every item in your arsenal is one that best represents your style.

Now, see the outfits:

1. Moto Jacket + Slip Dress + Knee-High Boots

Oversize leather jackets are a key fall buy and I'm a fan of wearing the tougher staple with soft and delicate pieces like slip dresses for a cool contrast. I like this take on a fall going-out outfit.

2. Button-Down Shirt + Denim Skirt + Loafers

Give your button-down shirts a '90s makeover when you wear them with a sleek column skirt.

3. Button-Down Shirt + Tank + Trousers + Loafers

Channel Kendall Jenner's viral The Row outfit when you wear a button-down shirt open over a plain tank and relaxed neutral trousers.

4. Vest + Matching Trousers + Loafers

There's nothing more polished (but secretly effortless to put together) than a coordinated suit. Vest and trouser sets are the fall 2024 version to try.

5. Vest + Denim Skirt + Knee Boots

While you can't go wrong with a matching set, the beauty in owning one is the myriad ways you can style each piece solo. A tailored vest is considered polished, but with a denim skirt and boots, it can feel more relaxed and casual.

6. Moto Jacket + Button-Down Shirt + Trousers + Loafers

From Paris to New York, I guarantee fashion people will wear a version of this low-key street style look all season.

7. Button-Down + Slip Dress + Loafers

If you're wearing your button-down shirts buttoned you're missing out on half the styling opportunities this simple basic offers. I like wearing one open as a light jacket. Over a slip dress, it's the perfect pre-fall layer.
