The basic Fall pieces for all ages and budgets

The trends for the Fall season are inspiring, and we are looking forward to wearing the luxurious fabrics and beautiful colours we saw on the runway. But now it’s also a time to wear those basic Fall pieces you probably already have in your wardrobe. And from what we’ve seen on Instagram and in the streets during Paris, Milan and London Fashion Weeks, basics are on-trend. From celebrities like Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston to Instagrammers and fashion editors, fashion-savvy women know that classic pieces are easy-to-wear and never go out of fashion.

Having good basics that you can wear year after year and mix them with new trends is also very sustainable. Plus, classic garments, even the more affordable ones, always look much more expensive because of their refined and atemporal style.

Here are six basic Fall pieces every wardrobe should have.

1-Turtleneck

We’re so happy to see turtlenecks on so many catwalks again because they are the most versatile staple you can have. A turtleneck allows you to keep wearing your summer dresses and shirts during autumn. They look sleek layered under other pieces and give you a polished look when worn by themselves.

2-Midi skirt

As soon as Fall begins, midi skirts invade our Instagram feeds. Fashion editors and content creators wear these chic skirts as elegant as pencil skirts but less tight. And for a grown-up style, pair your midi skirt with pumps or boots, or wear them with colourful tights and chunky boots for a more fashion-forward look. Then, add a chunky pullover over it or an XXL blazer, and you updated the Fall staple #2 in our list.

3-Tailored pants

You can never go wrong with tailored pants with wide legs. The classic trousers are flattering and look very chic with a turtleneck or blazer. Wear it with pumps for a chic classic outfit or sneakers and chunky loafers for a very cool and modern look.

4-Tailored suit

Power suiting is the go-to office look for Fall. Pair yours with sneakers or platform shoes which are one of the new footwear trends, to give your suit a bit of street-style edge. Otherwise, go for an elegant look with heeled pumps or boots.

5-Trenchcoat

If there is one basic piece that will always look oh-so-chic, that is the trenchcoat. The quintessentially British coat brings instant glam to any outfit and is perfect for mid-season.

6-Classic coat

Whether black, beige, light blue or navy, classic coats always make you look refined and polished. When it comes to outwear staples, less is more. A coat with clean lines and a sleek silhouette looks chic and luxurious, and you can find beautiful ones for all budgets.

With these basic Fall pieces, you are ready to welcome the new season.
