If you were to take one look into my closet, you'd quickly get the idea that I am all about elevated basics with an injection of trendy and fashion-forward pieces. My favorite way to bring those pieces together is by creating simple and oftentimes elegant outfits. That said, I am always on the lookout for outfit inspiration that embodies that exact vibe. I don't know about you, but the first place I always turn to for inspiration is my Instagram feed.

In fact, I recently set out to find a fresh set of fall outfit ideas, and I was not disappointed. I came across a variety of outfits that fit the bill, but some of them stood out thanks to the pieces incorporated into each of the looks. This includes a white button-down, a denim maxi skirt, a black slip dress, and much more—all of which could easily be mixed and matched into a capsule wardrobe. Scroll on to check out seven fall outfit ideas that are simple yet elegant and shop each look.
