The temperatures have cooled, the leaves are changing and I’ve swapped my shorts and sandals for boots and sweaters! Today I’m sharing my favorite fall wardrobe essentials. All of these pieces can be mixed and matched to create endless easy and casual, yet pulled together outfits.

MY SIZING
For reference, I’m 5’7″ with a long torso and long legs. I typically wear a 27 in jeans or a size 4. My bra size is a 34D, and I typically wear a size medium top but sometimes size down for a more tailored fit or a large for a more oversized fit. If I own the item I will always list my size and any recommendations I have for sizing up or down for quick reference. (TTS= true to size!)
Fall Wardrobe Essentials: Joggers, Graphic Sweatshirt, and a Versatile Sweater

The joggers literally got me through quarantine and continue to be one of the most worn items in my closet. And they are a spot-on dupe for the Lululemon Align joggers. Wear them for lounging, working out, or running errands.
A graphic sweatshirt and a slouchy sweater are also fall wardrobe essentials and can be paired with anything from joggers to leggings to jeans.
Fall Wardrobe Essentials: Faux Leather Leggings, Sweaters, and Flannels

I’m sure you won’t be surprised that my beloved Spanx leggings are among my fall wardrobe essentials! These versatile leggings are so easy to dress up or down and are one of the most worn items in my closet. (see my post on 52 Ways to Style Leggings HERE)
A long cardigan and a soft tunic sweater are also must-haves and can be styled and layered so many different ways.

A plaid flannel and cozy Ugg boots are fall closet musts. A flannel can be worn on its own with leggings or jeans, dressed up with black jeans, or layered under sweaters or over graphic tees.
And my Ugg boots are probably my most worn shoes in the fall and winter. They are easy to throw on and super warm and cozy. And my last pair lasted for over 10 years!
Fall Wardrobe Essentials: Graphic Tees, Layering Tees, and Fall Jackets

I love layering flannels over graphic tees and under a fun fall jacket for the perfect comfy and casual outfit. Layer on fun jewelry to add a little edge.
A chic printed bootie is also a great way to add interest to your look and can be styled with everything from jeans and leggings to your fall dresses and skirts.

I also make sure to stock up on basic long sleeve tees to wear on their own or layer under sweaters and jackets. This fitted tee is super soft, comes in tons of colors, and is just $10 at Target.
And my must-have fall jacket is super soft and its boxy silhouette is right on-trend. It layers over all of my favorite fall tops and sweaters and is a perfect weight.

This is the save version of my favorite fall jacket and comes in three gorgeous colors. And if you’re looking for a trendy show to add o your closet, I recommend these $25 moto boots! They are super on-trend, very comfortable, and waterproof.
Fall Wardrobe Essentials: A Statement Top

This budget-friendly statement top is an Amazon find and is the perfect way to dress up your fall look. I love the puff sleeve trend, but some can be too aggressive. I love the subtle details on this one and the soft fabric. Wear it with everything from skirts to distressed jeans.
