Fall Capsule Wardrobe 2024

My 2024 Fall Capsule Wardrobe is here! I’ve been curating capsule wardrobes on a seasonal basis lately and LOVING it. Capsule wardrobes are not only helpful for YOU to draw inspiration from, but I personally refer back to my own capsule wardrobe blog posts for outfit ideas myself.

Fall 2024 will see trends like tweed, dark denim, ballet flats, and sophisticated outerwear come to life. This 2024 fall capsule wardrobe has 25 key pieces to mix with from Old Navy, Nordstrom, Abercrombie, Mango, and Madewell. I picked retailers that had fall items for roughly under $100, too.

Read on for fall outfit ideas featuring these fall clothing pieces for day and night! Each collage will include an external link to my Shop LTK page where you can easily shop the products.

Shop Fall Capsule Wardrobe Must Haves

Fall Capsule: Tops

When it comes to fall tops, you should opt for a few basics and then have a couple of pieces that match your personal style. For example: I included a bodysuit, tank top, and long sleeve top in this year’s capsule wardrobe which are pretty simple basics. I added some personality with the floral printed blouse.

Bodysuit

One of the first tops to have in a fall capsule wardrobe is a bodysuit. To be honest, you might want to have 2 different colors for this category: a brown and a white bodysuit. I would consider ordering a pack of bodysuits from Amazon to get the best deal. For the sake of this neutral capsule styling post, I am utilizing a rich brown square neck bodysuit that’s under $25 from Nordstrom. The color screams fall to me!

 

Seamless Tank Top

Go ahead and get yourself a seamless tank top to elevate your fall outfits this season if you haven’t invested in one yet! I am telling you a seamless tank top does wonders to make even the simplest jean outfit feel luxe. Some of my favorite seamless tanks are from Abercrombie, Kohl’s and Old Navy.

I especially love this sculpting tank top from Nine West at Kohl’s. As summer fashion slowly gets marked down you can also score major deals on these basics.

Blouse

Find a printed blouse to add some personality to your fall capsule. During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I absolutely adored this floral printed blouse from the brand Treasure & Bond. The Treasure & Bond floral blouse is also under $50. I had to add it to my fall 2024 capsule to show you how to style it for work, date night, and a weekend fall event.

Long Sleeve

A casual top to have in a fall capsule is a long sleeve. You can include a seamless long sleeve top or a rib knit one depending on your climate. Right now Nordstrom has some great basics from their BP. line for under $30 to fit into this category.

Fall Capsule: Sweaters

Crewneck Sweater

Crewneck sweaters are a classic fall must have. The crewneck style is timeless and versatile to wear with skirts, trousers, and denim jeans. For your fall capsule wardrobe I would consider finding a cream or beige crewneck sweater to style multiple times over this season. A crewneck sweater can be worn alone for early fall days and will be the perfect layering piece come winter time.

Cardigan Sweater

A thick and chunky cardigan sweater adds a layer of comfort and style when wore over a basic tank top or bodysuit. Some of my top picks for cardigan sweaters? This Free People cable knit cardigan sweater and this Quince organic cotton cropped cardigan.

Rib Knit Sweater

You may already own a classic rib knit sweater which is another fall must have staple piece. Rib knit sweaters are also key for layering underneath the wrap coat and long coat that I included in this capsule.

Fall Capsule: Outerwear

A fall wardrobe needs a few outerwear pieces for chilly fall days. I have three outerwear items for this year’s fall capsule: a chic lady jacket, classic brown wrap coat, and a cream coat.

Lady Jacket

A chic lady jacket is something I am featuring in this fall capsule as a “trendy” outwear item. I am still personally loving the lady jacket trend because it really elevates any outfit with a touch of sophistication. If you are looking for more lady jacket outfit ideas check out this blog post. Abercrombie has some of my favorite chic and structured lady jackets.

Wrap Coat

MANGO has some really great coats for late fall/early winter. I love how sleek a wrap coat looks over crewneck sweaters. A wrap coat is also flattering as it will cinch you in the waist once you tie it! For this neutral fall capsule wardrobe, I found a light brown wrap coat from MANGO to style multiple ways for you. I also really love this brown wrap coat from Amazon if you want a budget-friendly option.

Long Coat

Among the other outerwear pieces I have listed here for the fall season I also want to mention the importance of a long line coat. You can choose what color you want for this coat, but for this edition of the capsule wardrobe, I have a cream boucle coat.

Fall Capsule: Bottoms

This year’s fall capsule wardrobe bottoms has a mix of feminine and menswear inspired picks. For the feminine aspect I chose a floral satin slip skirt and a tweed mini skirt. As for the masculine aspect you’ll notice trousers as a choice to wear for work and weekend looks. Each of these fall bottoms can be worn for various fall events. I am excited to show you chic fall outfit ideas for each piece as you scroll down in this post!

Tweed Skirt

For the fall season we will typically see classic fall patterns such as tweed, houndstooth, and plaid come into play. With this in mind, I added a cute neutral tweed mini skirt into this year’s fall capsule. This adorable tweed mini skirt is from Abercrombie – I personally look forward to Abercrombie’s fall drop every year as they release some incredible staple finds.

Denim Mini Skirt

Denim mini skirts (or maxi skirts) are also fun to mix into your fall wardrobe for cooler days ahead. You can wear a denim mini skirt with the crewneck sweater and lady jacket for a trendy yet casual vibe. Pair the denim skirt with the cardigan sweater and knee high boots for a chic weekend look. This dark denim mini skirt inspired me to add one into this capsule as its a piece from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

Shop Fall Bottoms

Trousers

Tailored pants are still on trend for fall 2024. I’ve personally incorporated cotton, linen, and polyester tailored trousers into my own classic neutral wardrobe. The most iconic tailored trouser pants are the Sloan Tailored Pants from Abercrombie.

Straight Leg Denim Jeans

Thankfully straight leg denim jeans are also still on trend for the fall season. Straight leg jeans are still dominating as a popular jean style which means you can find them at most retailers. Some of my top picks for looking for great jeans that aren’t too pricey are Old Navy and Walmart. My favorite denim jeans are the OG Straight Leg denim jeans from Old Navy because they continue to hold up even after years of wearing the same pair.

Slip Skirt

Among the traditional fall bottoms like jeans and trousers, I think a slip skirt works well as a transitional piece. Slip skirts are easy to pair with crewneck sweaters for a work day and with a bodysuit for a fall date night. The beautiful floral printed slip skirt that I included in this fall capsule is new to Nordstrom. Check out Amazon for more budget-friendly slip skirt options here.

Fall Capsule: Dresses

Sweater Dress

I wanted to narrow down the dresses for this fall capsule to a casual and dressy option. For the casual dress, I would add a soft knit sweater dress. Abercrombie has really great sweater dresses that are on-trend and comfortable for this time of year. I personally chose this flattering off-the-shoulder sweater dress as it’s a neutral pick.

Printed Dress

I also added in a long sleeve printed dress from Madewell. This khaki maxi dress can be worn casually with sneakers or even dressed up a bit with the tall boots.

Fall Capsule: Shoes

For the shoe category in this capsule wardrobe I found a mix of casual and dressy options. During the Nordstrom sale I was eyeing these tall boots with a slight kitten heel. Tall boots are exactly what I would suggest to pair with the denim skirt and tweed skirt from this capsule.

On the casual side, lug boots are still very much a trendy boot for fall and winter. These neutral lug boots are also waterproof so you can wear them in the snow and feel safe. Lug boots are ideal for fall outfits featuring denim jeans.

Another casual shoe I’d consider including in your fall wardrobe this season is a pair of neutral sneakers. New Balance sneakers are still on major trend which is why I included them in this year’s fall capsule. You can wear sneakers with everything from denim jeans to a slip skirt because they are so versatile these days!

Tall Boots

For fall shoes I recommend finding a great pair of neutral tall boots. These neutral boots from Nordstrom are on sale during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and work nicely with the denim mini skirt and tweed skirt that I feature in this capsule.

Lug Boots

Another classic fall boot for casual outfits is a pair of lug boots. These lug boots from Nordstrom are also water resistant which helps in cold climates.

Sneakers

One of the top selling shoes from the Nordstrom Sale are the New Balance 327 sneakers. I found a similar neutral sneaker for an inexpensive price at DSW here. Sneakers are still a popular shoe choice all year round to wear casually and dressed up these days. New Balance sneakers are also very on trend for 2024 so I’d consider a pair of these to include as a fall shoe option.

Ballet Flats

According to Marie Claire, ballet flats are the best shoe to try in 2024. I’d have to agree with them as I basically wore my Old Navy metallic gold ballet flats all spring/summer! Now you can easily transition ballet flats into the fall season by pairing them with trousers, denim jeans, and even midi skirts.

Fall Capsule: Accessories

Crossbody Bag

I love the accessibility of a crossbody bag. There’s something to wearing your purse and essentials across your body that makes you feel secure, too. I found a chic and practical designer inspired crossbody bag at MANGO ($49) that would be an excellent contender for a fall capsule.

Shoulder Bag

I recently discovered the Amazon brand Bostanten for their selection of designer inspired vegan leather bags. I have my eye on this chic quilted shoulder bag because it would be a great alternative to some pricey ones I’ve seen from Tory Burch and Bottega Veneta. For dressy fall occasions I would have a shoulder bag on hand.

Necklace

You don’t need to spend a lot of money on a super fancy necklace. Some of my personal favorite necklaces come from Amazon and Walmart. I also spotted a gorgeous gold layered necklace on sale at Nordstrom if you want something under $50.

Everyday Earrings

A pair of gold or silver everyday earrings will complete the accessories you need for a fall capsule. Some of my go to gold earrings are these designer-inspired tear drop earrings from Amazon and these MANGO gold earrings.
