In a constant, dizzying trend cycle, I often have to return to the classics to bring myself back down to earth. You know the pieces: straight-leg blue jeans, preppy collared sweaters, trench coats, and just about anything that you would have spotted on a '90s supermodel. I don't know what was in the air during that decade (perhaps it was a lot of CK One), but those ladies had their wardrobe basics down to a science. As I begin to curate my fall closet, I'm shopping at Calvin Klein because, duh, '90s street style started with the brand's denim. But it has more than jeans. Its latest collection beckons the return of great classic outfits worthy of a paparazzi frenzy. Ahead, shop all of my favorite pieces.
Tops
If you wanted to, you could create a complete capsule wardrobe with only the pieces below. There are classic sweaters, button-downs, polos, and more that you'll get plenty of miles out of this fall (and beyond).
Jeans and More Bottoms
I'd style the black polo sweater above with these baggy gray-washed jeans for a more relaxed take on the '90s preppy look. I love how you can style the monogrammed denim top with any of the jeans below to create a denim-on-denim ensemble, a true '90s outfit. Plus, there are trousers, skirts, leather pants, and more.
Jackets and Coats
You can't have a great fall look without a jacket or coat. A leather or jean jacket will always be timeless. If you're looking to try something new this season, I recommend wearing the tweed jacket with jeans and a classic white T-shirt.
Bags
Did you know Calvin Klein made bags?! You might know the brand for its denim or logo-clad underwear, but its selection of handbags is top-tier. The belted tote is my favorite from the fall drop.
