If you’re new around here, then one thing you need to know about me is how much I love a capsule wardrobe. I’ve shared my favorite capsule wardrobes for each season (including a new summer to fall transitional capsule), and with fall fast approaching it’s about time I shared the fall wardrobe essentials that you need this autumn.
Autumn is a transitional season and making sure you have the essentials is key to looking great all season.
The best thing about a capsule wardrobe is that it helps you relieve the stress and overwhelm of picking out what you’re going to wear every single day. Instead you’ll have your staples that can be rotated with different outfits, guaranteeing that you look incredible every day. Jumpstart your fall capsule wardrobe with these fall wardrobe essentials.
Say goodbye to ‘closet overwhelm’ and hello to a gorgeous autumn wardrobe with these essentials.
12 Fall Wardrobe Essentials You Need This Season
Italian Wool Cashmere Coat
A good wool coat is the ultimate fall wardrobe item. I love the ‘camel’ color, it’s perfect for an autumn color palette.
I’m always looking for tall women’s fashion, so finding this tall wool coat from Karen Millen, it was immediately a must-have. It comes from their “Ready for the Future” range which means it’s been made with responsibly sourced wool with strict standards for animal welfare. It’s a coat that will make you look great – and feel great while you’re wearing it.
Plus it’s on sale! Grab it before it’s gone, because fall will be here before we know it!
Giant Icon Check Cashmere Scarf
This iconic scarf is going to keep you warm, but not so warm that you have to strip all your layers off on warmer fall evenings.
And once again, this color palette is perfect for fall!
If you can’t already tell, cashmere is my fabric of the season. It’s the perfect fabric for layering – which is exactly what you need for this season of rotating weather.
This Burberry scarf is a classic for a reason, so you can’t go wrong adding it to your wardrobe this fall.
Kavala Sweater Dress
Every spring I can’t wait to pull out my dresses but every fall I feel the same way about my sweaters. I mean, we call it “Sweater Season” for a reason, girls!
Why not have the best of both worlds with a gorgeous, must-have sweater dress.
I absolutely love the buttons going all the way down the dress. They allow you to style this dress with tall boots (and a bit more leg) or shorter fall booties with a few more buttons done up – and just wait I am sharing two classic fall boots, keep reading!
The buttons allow this dress so much more versatility then you’d normally get from a sweater dress.
Neon 40 Pantyhose
I can’t recommend a dress for fall without also recommending a great pair of tights!
We’ll talk a lot throughout this post about how important layering is this season, and that’s why I always recommend having a good pair of tights to throw on when the weather’s cooler.
These pantyhose will leave your legs looking smooth and flawless – and they’ll go perfectly with the dress I just shared!
Mock Neck Sweater
Fashion-wise, ‘Sweater Season’ is easily one of my favorite times of year.
And when we’re talking about fall essentials, this sweater is going to look so cute with your Burberry Scarf and ‘Camel’ Wool Coat. It’s all about finding items that look incredible together – and that are neutral enough to go with everything!
Pair this with the perfect pair of denim and your wool coat and you’ll be comfortable, fall ready and gorgeous.
Valentina Boot Cut Jean
For fall I always like to pair a darker blue jean with colors like cream, tan and pops of red.
If you couldn’t already tell from this post – that is the color palette for the season. This pair of jeans is high rise and incredibly comfortable and flattering.
I’m picky about denim, and finding good denim for tall women is never easy. But I can promise you’ll never want to take this pair off.
Yale Chelsea Boot
If you don’t already have the perfect pair of booties, I’ve found them for you.
Booties are another essential for a fall wardrobe. Don’t we usually associate fall with sweaters, booties and pumpkin spice lattes?
The Yale Chelsea boot is clean, modern and I love the pointy-toe. They call it “poised, everyday sophistication” and I couldn’t agree more. My favorite detail on this boot is the silver rim around the point of the toe. Gorgeous!
‘Small Falabella – Shaggy Deer’ Faux Leather Tote
The perfect purse for fall!
I’m a big fan of purses. I’ve always believed that the right bag can make an entire outfit. So picking out the perfect, essential bag for fall wasn’t an easy task… but I know you’ll love this one. This bag just screams fall in London, and what more could you ask for really?
Harper Shacket
If you haven’t already treated yourself to the perfect fall shacket, now’s your chance.
Shackets really came into fashion last fall and they’re not going anywhere this year.
Sticking with the creams and browns of our fall wardrobe essentials, this shacket will pair perfectly with your closet this season. It’s also a great layering piece – perfect for days when it’s not quite cold enough for your coat, but you need more than a sweater.

Tieland Over-the-Knee Boots
I love over the knee boots. They’re a staple for tall girls and an absolute staple for fall.
The slight heel on this boot is perfect for running around town and trust me when I tell you that these boots are comfortable. I wear mine all fall (and winter!) long – and I know you will too.
Long Sleeve Crewneck T-Shirt
Layering tops are essential for fall, and I love the material and style of this crewneck.
The style looks great with jeans and it’s light enough that you can layer with a sweater without feeling too hot throughout the day.
Belted Down Puffer Jacket
Picture this gorgeous coat with a pair of over-the-knee boots and your Burberry scarf.
Autumn will be here before we know it, and before we’re ready… Winter will hit us. Make sure you’re prepared for those days when fall feels a lot more like winter with a warm (and absolutely stunning) puffer jacket.
You’ll be ready for the season and looking incredible everyday.
