The Fall Essential Clothing Layer
The idea behind having a capsule wardrobe is to have a versatile foundation of quality basics in your wardrobe. An essential piece for an autumn capsule wardrobe is a cardigan. When the temperature fluctuates from cold to hot, this cozy layer will help you be comfortable and chic. A cardigan also adds depth to the outfit with the additional layer. A classic cardigan is an absolute staple in a woman’s fall wardrobe.
When choosing your perfect fall cardigan, look for ones that are in a solid neutral color like the ones below. Neutral colors include black, taupe, gray, camel, navy, beige, blush, and ivory. These colors are the best choices for your capsule wardrobe as the neutrals will be easy to style and wear with most of your other pieces that you already own.
Outfit Ideas with a Cardigan
A cardigan is truly one of the most flexible items in anyone’s wardrobe. If you’re going for a more casual look, a cardigan with a great pair of denim and a t-shirt is perfect for daywear. Going into the office? A pencil skirt and a button-down shirt paired with a cardigan looks polished and put together. Plus, we all know office buildings can be so finicky when it comes to temperature, so a cardigan will have you covered.
A really fun way to wear a cardigan is by belting it; add shape and dimension to your outfit by putting a belt over your cardigan. One of my favorite ways to wear my cardigans is with a dress for a night out. A silk dress with a soft and lightweight cashmere cardigan, like my number eight pick below, looks so elegant. The combination of different fabrics also adds texture to your outfit. Add your favorite heels to complete the look.
Are you ready to have a wardrobe that reflects your personal style, works for your body, and makes it easy to put together outfits you feel great in?
