Fall is hands down my favorite season. There is just no better fashion than fall fashion. Jeans, pants, boots, sweaters, jackets, blazers, loafers—the pieces you can mix and match are endless, and that’s where my fall 2022 capsule wardrobe comes in! If you’re striving for a more organized, pared down wardrobe this fall, you’ve come to the right place. Shopping is addicting as we all know, but you can keep a cap on it by choosing a handful of versatile, timeless pieces to create endless looks with and avoid “not knowing what to wear” for good.
In this year’s fall capsule wardrobe, you’ll find a solid mix of classic pieces and more new, trending pieces that will inevitably evolve into staples because we don’t buy “wear once” clothes around here! Within each featured product, I’ll be linking out to alternatives in case you can’t find your size or want different pricing options. This is my way of letting you know that while these are my personal picks for a fall capsule wardrobe, they’re certainly not the only options. Happy shopping!

Tops
A well-made, high-quality, perfectly-fitting white tee is a non negotiable for every capsule wardrobe, no matter the season. This particular white tee is the best I’ve ever owned—I have a backup just in case! Spending the extra on such a versatile basic like this is important in building your capsule wardrobe.
Graphic tees made a big comeback this year and for good reason. The right graphic tee oozes understated elegance and gives your look a subtle edge. I love this particular graphic tee because it’s classic, and I know it looks good with any of the outerwear I just listed!
This may be the most iconic piece of a fall capsule wardrobe. A crisp, well-made, wrinkle-free, white button-up shirt goes miles in terms of sophisticated, chic, weather-appropriate style. It’s also the perfect layering piece and looks fantastic with any and all outerwear and pretty much every bottom you can dream of. Use code JACKSON15 for a discount
Sweaters
The basic sweaters to own are a neutral sweater, a grey sweater, and a black sweater. Having such straightforward sweaters serves as the base layer for so many fall fashion looks. French-tucked into a midi skirt with sneakers? Worn with a denim jacket and black denim? You can even wear it over your white button-up for an Oxford vibe. Sweaters are life during the fall.
Short-sleeve sweaters have also become a closet staple for me, think elevated tee. When you want something that is a little nicer, warmer, but not quite ready for a traditional long sleeve sweater, short sleeve sweaters are my favorite. They are great for wearing as is with denim or trousers for the office, or layering under jackets a blazers. I love this cashmere t-shirt style sweater and will be keeping it on heavy rotation this season, might even have to get all the neutral colors too.

Jeans
Black, destructed, and light wash. If you have one of each of these styles in your fall capsule wardrobe, you are good to go. I’m guilty of overbuying when it comes to jeans because they’re my first love, but I’ve learned to pare down over the years and realized these three types of jeans create a great wardrobe foundation.
Casual/Athleisure Bottoms
Besides jeans, the only other bottoms needed for your fall capsule wardrobe is a great pair of black joggers and, of course, a pair of faux leather leggings. The black joggers for obvious comfort, the faux leather leggings for comfort that everyone views as dressy so you get the best of both worlds!
Shoes
Sneakers: My obsession with sneakers reached an all-time high over the last year. I’ll be honest—it was really hard to choose just two for this fall capsule wardrobe, but I think I chose wisely. You need a white sneaker and then a “specialty” sneaker. For the white sneaker, I chose my Vejas with tan suede detailing because they go with literally everything. For my special sneaker, I love my leopard print Golden Goose sneakers so much and can wear them with everything in this capsule!
Mules: Every season, my black Gucci Princetown mules become my go-to slip-ons. They are a must-have fall shoe and one of the first things I listed for this wardrobe.
Pumps: If you’re going to have one heel in your fall capsule wardrobe, make it a nude pump. It’s the most versatile and pairs well with jeans, skirts, and leggings!
Booties: Same goes for your fall capsule bootie! Make it a neutral shade like camel or tan to ensure it works with every other piece within your wardrobe.
