It’s officially fall! Which means it’s official fall fashion season! As most of us fashion lovers swear, it’s arguably the best time to get dressed for two reasons. One it’s still warm enough to not have your entire look covered up by a coat. Two it’s cool enough to start pulling out your best lightly layered looks. The type of weather fashion dreams are made of. But with the in-between temps it could get a little tricky to get dressed for the transitional weather. So here’s a curated capsule wardrobe of fall essentials for 2020 I swear by. These are the pieces that’ll get you through the season looking stunning without a hi-cup time and time again.

BLAZERS
The one piece that always completes a look is a good blazer. And perhaps it lives up to that claim even more during the fall as it usually doubles as a light layer. With the fluctuating whether, a blazer is great to have in your arsenal as you can throw it on for a polished and cute look throughout the day. It’s also versatile enough to wear casually or in a more dressy setting.
LEATHER TROUSERS
Every time fall rolls around leather trousers are one of the first things I can’t wait to pull out from the back of my closet. It’s such an exciting feeling because it screams fall fashion and can be worn a million and one ways. You really get the most cost per wear out of this piece because of it’s versatility. For a chic sleek look pair your leather trousers with a sweater or cute blouse. Or go for a little edgier style with an all black monochrome look.
ANKLE BOOTS
What is fall without ankle boots?! It’s the must-have wardrobe staple that you can’t go through the season without. And the best part is there’s a style for everyone. If you’re a little more daring go for the chunky sole pairs that are trending this season. Or keep it classic with a sleek black heeled boot. Anyway you choose to go just know that keeping those ankles warm is always in style and owning a great pair of these will last you for seasons to come.
TRANSITIONAL DRESS
Wondering what to do with all your summer maxi dresses? Turn them into fall transitional pieces! Break out your ankle boots or knee-highs and instantly turn your dresses into fall ready looks. Another option is just to buy fall dresses already made for the season. Wearing a transitional dress is a great way to diversify your looks and get out of the cycle of wearing separates only. Try the look in a great printed look or a solid piece.
STATEMENT KNIT TOP
I always say if you have one good knit for fall it could take you through the whole season. And what’s even more exciting these days is there are so many cooler versions of the traditional sweater on the market. This season try a knit with a stunning cutout detail or a sweater in a bright flagrant color. It’ll become the one piece that you can always go to look instantly put together and stunning!
LOUNGEWEAR
I think we’ve all become loungewear queens this year haven’t we? And if you haven’t fallen into it yet, trust me you’re about to be down with the clique. The great thing is loungewear is becoming a little dressier where you can wear them around your house and out to run errands as well. It’s a great way to look like you put some effort into your look even on the days you really didn’t. Sounds like a win to me!
VERSATILE LIGHT LAYER
The whole point of fall fashion surrounds layering. So of course we couldn’t leave out a light layer from the list of fall essentials to own for the season. Like ankle boots, getting your hands on this piece would last you for many seasons to come while helping you navigate the changing weather. A stunning denim jacket or leather jacket are great options for this type of layering. And of course a great trench will always do the trick too.
