When the leaves start falling & the weather gets colder, that’s the time when I realize that Autumn is here and I need to get my Fall Wardrobe Essentials! Autumn is all about crisp mornings, cold nights, warm and vibrant colors, and the smell of apple and cinnamon tea with pumpkin pie. It’s when you can still wear a light cardigan or jumper without all the extra layers and huge coats that make us look much bigger than we are.
When you own a base of essential pieces that are both versatile enough to create a variety of outfits for different occasions and trendy enough to make you look fashionable and up-to-date, then you have put together the perfect wardrobe.
Find below my 8 must-have pieces for any Fall wardrobe. Feel free to click on any image to shop or for more info about a product.
FALL WARDROBE ESSENTIALS
1- A Chunky Knitted Cardigan
Nothing better than a cozy, chunky cardigan for Fall. This one cropped Alpaca Blend from & other Stories will be a key piece in your wardrobe, therefore I consider it a Fall Wardrobe Essential.
If you don’t want to spend more than necessary for a cardigan, a great place to find the best affordable ones is at H&M. Like this soft, long Cardigan with a touch of Wool, not only looks good quality but for sure will keep you warm on those Fall fresh breezy days.
2- A Roll-Neck Jumper
Whether you’re looking for a wardrobe refresh or just staples, This Vero Moda Jumper with Roll neck in Burgundy is a must.
This classic cable cropped, knit jumper from Topshop, is ideal for layering any outfit,
Alpaca Blend Turtleneck Knit Sweater with an Oversized silhouette.
3- A pair of leather trousers
This year I am in love with straight-leg leather trousers. They have both comfort and the ability to transform the most simple outfit. These trousers from ,MANGO might be the pair that we all dream to have in our closet.
If you prefer the vegan leather version, then these high, elastic waist with drawstring will do the trick and give you that look you’re looking for.
4- A Wool Coat
A fuzzy blend of wool and alpaca Fall / Winter coat that reaches below the knee. With this Coat from the brand ARKET, you will feel warmth, cozy and elegant.
The Italian Re-Wool Overcoat from EVERLANE
Made with 62% Recycled Wool has a clean finish and a double-face for added warmth with a premium feel.
5- A Wool Oversized Blazer is a must-have Fall Wardrobe Essential
This Oversized Blazer from Everlane has a menswear-inspired shape and modern look, made of 100% recycled Italian wool.
From the first time I saw this Blazer, I fell in love with it. I said to myself I need to have it! I was waiting for the prices to drop since the holiday sales are coming soon, but I was too scared for it to sell out, so I bought it last Thursday! Now I can’t wait to be able to wear it. I have so many outfit ideas with this beautiful piece.
6- A Pair of Straight Leg or Skinny Jeans
A pair of High waist, black Skinny Jeans is a Fall must-have in your wardrobe. These are the Topshop Jamie Skinny Jeans in Black and are ideal to wear with knee-high and ankle boots. These trousers are from a super-stretchy cotton blend, which makes them very soft with the quality to last for many years to come.
When comes to quality denim with a good fit, I always think of & Other Stories. I own a pair of these Flared High Waist Jeans with a classic silhouette and I love them. These trousers run true to size.
And of course, I need to include in this list a pair of Levis Jeans. These Mom Levi’s 501 crop jeans in black, are the perfect denim piece for your wardrobe. Levis is one of the world’s most iconic denim brands – but you already knew that.
7- A Pair of White Leather Sneakers
If you followed me for a while, you know this was coming. I think that a leather, solid sneaker is a must-have for fall. This year I decided to add these oversized sneakers from Alexander Mcqueen. And even though these are on the pricey side, they not only look good but the quality and comfort of these chunky sneakers make the price tag worth it.

Another great sneaker that I own and use in all seasons is the Nike Air Force. Perfect for summer and Autumn. Great sneakers at an affordable price point.
A brand that is right now under my radar is the NEW BALANCE. These models are the New Balance 574 Platform Sneakers, with the upper leather and the chunky sole that could be a perfect sneaker for Fall.
8- A pair of combat or chunky boots
Another new addition to my closet! I am in love with these soft leather boots from
LIU-JO. They are not only comfortable and modern but also versatile and easy to wear with any outfit.
If you would like to go for the extra chunky, then these Leather Chelsea boots from & Other Stories are the right ones for you.
