Today during my morning walk around Golden Gate Park, I was delighted to find fallen crunchy leaves to step on. The fog has been hanging low lately and I’m all here for the moody fall vibes.
It’s the time of year to tuck away summer dresses and pull out all my cute fall outfits to wear. I have fashion staples that I love and wear year after year all through fall and into the winter. I prioritize being comfortable while still looking put together. I’ve worked from home now for over 4 years and know all my basic fall clothes have to make me feel great and ready to tackle the day (even if it’s all from my couch.)
That’s why I’m always on the hunt for timeless cute fall fashion pieces that don’t pinch or squeeze. That’s why I love these new joggers – no pinching, they look great dressed down with slippers or up with a sweater and Everlane flats.
Since I know so many of you value comfort and style I put together my ultimate autumn wardrobe staples list of all the pieces I have in my closet (or ordering this year to restock worn-out gems) to carry me through to Christmas.
-
Holy heck, these jogger straight-leg pants seriously make me feel like I'm living in a cloud. It's an elevated style of sweater pants that I can wear on the couch as I work, but are nice enough to take out in the real world.
-
White sneakers are my go-to for summer, but when fall rolls around I'm reaching for a white shoe that's more elevated for the fall season. Enter: the Everlane Day Glove. Super comfy, high quality so it'll last for many fall seasons to come and goes with almost every outfit.
Pro tip: size up on this.
-
I probably own too many knit sweaters at this point. Wool and knit sweaters are my wardrobe essentials all year round since I live in San Francisco, but especially in the fall.
-
On top of standard cozy sweaters, I adore all my themed Fair Isle sweaters I have. I mean, these are just so fun for photos and Zoom meetings!
-
My top fall outfit essentials always revolved around overalls. Blue jeans or skinny jeans pinch my curvy frame, but overalls are SUPER comfy and can be worn with sweaters or cardigans!
-
I have this extra t-shirt and it's so dang soft and comfy. I pull it out every fall and winter to pair with leggings or under overalls. Sometimes I even wear it to bed!
-
They feel like I'm wearing a blanket. That's it. That's the whole reason to get one. Other great stores to find great sweater dresses are Nordstrom or Amazon!
-
One of my favorite fall wardrobe staples is a black fedora hat that pairs perfectly with dresses, tights and boots. Plus, it keeps my head warm!
-
My favorite dresses in the fall are the long midi dresses or maxi dresses that are comfortable on the couch but chic enough to take outside. They pair so well with tights and boots on chillier days!
-
I'm not a black leather jacket kind of girl. Instead, I'll opt for a timeless trench coat like this one that simply goes with everything. (Or a puffer jacket if I'm hiking.)
-
I swear by a pair of Chelsea rainboots. The soles are so soft (yet sturdy) so I can wear them all day even if it's raining buckets.
-
A good pair of lace-up leather boots (or faux leather) are KEY for fall. I wear them with dresses, skirts, leggings - anything and all day every day. They're comfy, sturdy and go with all my outfits.
-
Girlfriend Collective leggings are my FAVORITE, for any season but especially in the fall season. You can dress them up to down. Pair with Leopard Print booties and that sweater dress for a cute fall look, or that cropped tee and a trench coat for something more timeless.
-
I'm such a sucker for themed pajamas. They always make me smile! I'll be wearing pumpkin or ghost pajamas all October
So many cute comfy fall outfits ahead! I’m ready to say goodbye to summer and hello to cold days paired with hot apple cider.
