2021 Fall Fashion Closet Essentials Style Guide

The best time of the year is finally here! These past few years, fall in Colorado happens pretty fast. One day it's 90 degrees outside, and then the next thing you know, you can’t leave the house without a jacket. It rarely eases into itself. Although it has yet to feel like fall here in Colorado, it’s never too early to start planning your fall wardrobe!

I’ve put together a style guide of fall pieces that make styling outfits easy every single year. We know fall is all about layering, so I made sure to include various types of pieces that everyone needs! These pieces are what I consider to be a part of a “capsule wardrobe,” meaning that without fail, these pieces are perfect for every season because they will always be in style. Think of these pieces as the peanut butter to your jelly (trendy, unique pieces)!

Tops 

• Neutral Camisole: This is where it all starts. Layering is the key to fall fashion, so without a good base, you’re off to a rocky start. A neutral camisole top will allow you to get away with any top layering pieces.

Our Perfect Additions Lace Trim Camisole Top (Black) gives you a more elevated look, as opposed to a basic camisole. The lace detailing gives it a feminine touch without being too over the top and looks so good on it's own!

• Button-Up Blouse: A traditional button-up blouse is so versatile when it comes to putting outfits together. They are such easy pieces to dress either up or down. These types of blouses can be worn multiple ways, (buttoned up, tucked in, tied in a knot, worn as a cardigan, etc).

Our Perfectly Classic Swiss Dot Button Down Blouse (Ivory), just like the lace cami, gives an elevated look compared to a traditional blouse. This top features a Swiss dot pattern, an oversized fit, a sheer back, and ruffle detailing at the cuffs. 

*Amy from Straight A Style Blog created a blog post showing the multiple ways you can style this style of top!

• Oversized Sweater: If you don’t have a cozy oversized sweater in your collection yet, then what are you doing?! This style is my go-to when I want to be cozy, but cute on a chilly fall day! Nothing screams fall more than an oversized sweater, black leggings, fuzzy socks, and boots!

Our Sincerely Yours Cowl Neck Oversized Knit Sweater (Cream) LITERALLY feels like you are wearing a Barefoot Dreams Blanket! 

Jackets

• Denim Jacket: Denim jackets have been a fashion staple for decades. This closet essential goes with anything and everything. A high-quality denim jacket is a piece that gets better over time, and it is sure to last you for many years to come.

When selecting The Stevie Pearl Studded Star Denim Jacket (Light) for my boutique, I knew that most people already had a traditional denim jacket in their closet. But, if you’re anything like me and you love pieces that are an elevated traditional look, you would love this style of denim jacket.

• Moto Jacket: Moto jackets are a perfect outerwear must-have for fall, alongside denim jackets and trench coats. They give off that effortlessly cool look to just about any outfit. The best thing about these jackets is you can style them in so many different ways, wear them fitted or oversized, and opt for a leather or suede material depending on the look you are going for!

If you prefer a more fitted style moto jacket with faux suede material, our Slow Burn Faux Suede Moto Jacket (Camel) would be perfect for you! We also offer the In A Mood Faux Leather Moto Jacket (White), both available for only $27!

Bottoms

• Leather Pants: Although the fit of leather pants may change depending on current trends, leather pants have been a closet go-to for decades. This is a piece you can pair with so many outfits, and it can elevate your look so effortlessly!

I was so excited to finally add a pair of KanCan’s to my boutique’s collection! This brand offers very high-quality jeans and bottoms at such a great price, so when I saw they offered black faux leather jeggings, I had to bring them to you! You can shop our Night Owl High-Waisted Faux Leather KanCan Jeggings (Black) here!

• Distressed Black Denim Jeans: This goes without saying, but a pair of black denim pants is something everyone needs in their closet. There’s just something about distressed black denim that is just *chef's kiss*. You can pair them with a cute sweater this fall for an edgier look, or dress them down with a pullover and some sneakers! Possibilities are endless.

I found the perfect pair of distressed girlfriend jeans that are super flattering! They feature a high-rise, slim fit at the waist with the perfect amount of distressing. You can shop the Who Cares Distressed Girlfriend Denim Jeans (Black) here!

• Mini Skirt/Skort: As we transition into fall, it's warm enough to still wear skirts! A good skirt can be worn with oversized knit sweaters, turtlenecks, cardigans, jackets, and of course, knee-high boots! These types of looks are my go-to outfits for fall!

Our XOXO Faux Suede Wrap Mini Skort (Mauve) is perfect for fall because it has that cozy, buttery soft suede fabric and looks so cute with knee-high boots, another staple trend for fall!
