14 Outfits Using A Fall Capsule Wardrobe

Casual Fall Outfit Ideas

There are 10 pieces that I recommend every woman has in a basic fall capsule wardrobe. I’m sharing how to create 14 easy fall outfits using those 10 clothing essentials. When you’re styling looks for fall, one of the easiest ways to put outfits together is to add layers to your look. That’s why a fall capsule wardrobe includes several layers.

14 Outfit Ideas With A Fall Capsule Wardrobe

1. Style a long sleeve silk or silk-like blouse with a neutral cardigan. It’s easy to wear a blouse all year round when you add easy pieces like cardigans for chillier mornings and nights. Add your favorite pair of jeans and ankle booties.

2. The next easy fall outfit is to wear an elevated white t-shirt, your favorite denim, and ankle boots and pair it with a neutral leather jacket. Neutrals can be gray, beige, camel, tan, ivory, blush, or black. When you have your wardrobe essentials in neutral colors you’ll get the most use out of your clothing.

3. An easy change from look 2 to 3 is to keep your jeans, boots, and t-shirt but instead of wearing a leather jacket style it with a cardigan. A cardigan is not as structured so it will help give a softer, more feminine feel to your outfit.

4. Add a leather jacket on top of outfit 3. Styling a jacket over your cardigan is not only a great way to layer for warmth but also is stylish. To elevate this look switch out your jeans and wear it with faux leather leggings and tall or over-the-knee boots.

5. For outfit 5, I switched my jacket and cardigan for a classic black blazer and wore it over my white t-shirt. A black blazer is another great wardrobe essential that I recommend. Style it with faux leather leggings and over-the-knee boots. You can also change from the t-shirt to a silk blouse. This is an easy but polished look for going out.

6. In the next outfit, style a long sleeve silk blouse with a leather jacket, faux leather leggings, and over-the-knee boots. Because a leather jacket is structured, it creates a streamlined look.

7. Change the leather jacket in look 6 to a classic black blazer. Roll up the sleeves and tuck your long sleeve blouse sleeves underneath so you can’t see them. Keep the faux leather leggings and over-the-knee boots on. To dress up this look, switch the boots to a pair of heels. Again, because the blazer is structured and the lines are clean it has a slimming effect.

8. The next look incorporates another must-have fall wardrobe essential, a lightweight sweater in a neutral color. I recommend a solid color that’s classic and fits you well. Style your sweater with faux leather leggings and over-the-knee boots.

9. Add a leather jacket over your sweater in outfit 8 and style it with a pair of ankle booties. Because leggings are so fitted they create the illusion of a really long line and make you look taller.

10. Switch out the leather jacket in outfit 9 for a black blazer over a sweater. Leave the blazer sleeves down and have the sweater sleeves peeking out a bit. Style this look with black leggings and over-the-knee boots. The over-the-knee boots elongate your legs and because a classic blazer is structured it also elongates your torso.

11. For outfit 11, wear a cardigan over a sweater. Layering is key for fall. Wear your jeans and ankle booties for a more casual vibe. To accentuate your waist, half-tuck your sweater. This is such an easy way to wear your fall essentials.

12. Style a leather jacket over your sweater. Wear it with jeans and ankle booties for a different feel.

13. Wear a knit or sweater dress which is always on trend for fall and winter. If it’s a shorter style, wear over-the-knee boots, and as the weather gets colder add opaque tights. A sweater dress with over-the-knee boots is a chic way to look put together and stylish in the fall and winter months.

14. For the final look wear a leather jacket over a sweater dress with boots. You can also wear a cardigan over the sweater dress for an extra layer of warmth. A cardigan will also make this look more casual especially if you switch out your over-the-knee boots for ankle booties.

I hope this gives you inspiration for creating easy fall outfits and shows you some of the ways to style your 10 essential fall capsule wardrobe items.

Building A Fall Capsule Wardrobe

The end goal of a capsule wardrobe is to always feel like you have something great to wear no matter the occasion or the weather, and that every item hanging in your closet is something that you love and feel great in. The key to a capsule wardrobe isn’t based on the amount of clothing you have, it’s based on the quality and versatility of your clothing.
