Fall 2024 Capsule Wardrobe

I was reading through my Fall capsule wardrobe post from 2023 and, not surprisingly, still enjoy wearing nearly everything on that list! For this year’s Fall capsule, I made just a few updates to reflect things I’ve been leaning into lately:

• Deeper fall colors. Instead of last year’s mostly beige tones, I added some richer hues that mix & match very well together, like chocolate brown, burgundy, and a dark olive-brown blazer.
• Suede textures. Suede is having a big moment and is a great way to add some dimension to outfits. I incorporated touches via the sneakers, flats & booties instead of regular leather shoes.
• Slip dress instead of skirt. The skirt still works well here, but the dress version brings a little extra versatility for a nice dinner or holiday event.
• Looser silhouettes. The outer layers in this year’s capsule have a more oversized, relaxed fit. For those who aren’t a fan of this, I still listed more slim-fit, petite-friendly options below.

You can also see this capsule in a video here, and Part 2 will demonstrate a variety of outfit ideas using the pieces! Here’s a preview of different capsule outfit combos with the gray jeans.

1. Outer Layers

• Cardigan Jacket
  • Pictured above: Quince Merino wool duster cardigan in XS. This is an oversized, relaxed fit on me, with a soft and warm medium weight. I love everything from the length and how well it drapes … might be one of my favorite Quince purchases to date!
    • For a shorter, lighter weight and more petite-friendly cardigan, I also have the Quince Cashmere Cardigan xs from years ago (shown in video).
  • J.Crew sweater blazer xxs – for a cotton texture instead of a wool or cashmere knit, this is a classic shorter cardigan that has lasted the test of time in terms of style and durability. It was my initial pick for this year’s capsule, but I wanted a medium to darker gray color and longer length.
