The fashion essentials to have in your closet this fall

The autumn fashion is anything but boring. The pace of the summer days is replaced by the daily hustle and bustle, and before you know it, we are thrust into a new season. Appointments pile up, and meanwhile, the weather changes. Little by little, the pieces we used to reach for the most become too light to protect us from the cold, which, however, in autumn, still leaves room for a bit of warmth. Balancing weather needs with style may seem difficult, but appearances are deceiving. By following our tips, you can start thinking about looks that are adaptable to any situation, perfect for keeping you warm in the morning and cool enough to get you through the afternoon.

Autumn-Winter Fashion: It's Time for Versatile Outfits

Layering is the secret to not being caught off guard: we can wear outerwear, take it off when needed, and still count on a cardigan and shirt, or a sweater and t-shirt. As for choosing pants, jeans are a great ally for autumn. They pair well with any top layer and are generally comfortable 24/7 in terms of climate.

What Are the Colors of Autumn 2024?

Camel, burgundy, olive green, dark blue, and chocolate: 2024 holds no surprises when it comes to these classic seasonal shades. They remain front and center, partly because autumn makes you want to wear rich colors, and partly because they combine perfectly with shades that seem further from the mood of the season. Like pastel pink, which can be used as an alternative neutral to beige, which, in any case, always works. So, feel free to play with the layering we just talked about, perhaps juxtaposing cappuccino tones and soft versions of pink.

Let’s now shift focus and give proper attention to black, for many, the essential color in every wardrobe. It's true that it can easily be replaced by the intensity of the autumn heroes we've already mentioned, but there's no reason to neglect it or save it only for winter. If your idea is to reserve all-black looks exclusively for the coldest part of the year, it’s worth remembering that black jackets and t-shirts create a perfect combo with denim blue.

Autumn Fashion: Wardrobe Essentials

Once you've set the palette, the next question is how to apply it. So, what pieces should you immediately add to your wardrobe for your autumn style? Let's start with the blazer, ideally in black, which pairs effortlessly with any other color. Admittedly, it's a piece for the milder days, but it's a real fashion investment: you can also use it in spring. Not to mention, it's perfect for both casual and elegant outfits for evening events.

Following the same principle, we suggest adding a suit jacket and trousers to your wardrobe. Depending on the accessories you pair it with, it can be more or less casual. For an afternoon with friends, sneakers work just fine, while for a special occasion, heels are perfect. Once again, this is an outfit that can help you navigate a wide range of situations, from a graduation party to a shopping spree.

However, autumn can also get quite chilly. A jacket may not be enough to provide all the comfort we need. So, one must-have for the season is undoubtedly a heavy outerwear piece. Luckily, there are plenty of options available in stores. To revamp your wardrobe, the advice is to start with the basics. So, yes to the classic camel color. You can pair it with your favorite jeans or, if you prefer, with cream or beige, coffee or rust trousers. Accessories are, once again, the key to achieving a look you're 100% satisfied with. At this time, tote bags are very fashionable. Why not treat yourself to one you can carry from morning to evening?

The guiding principle of layering different clothing pieces for a comfortable and stylish result is the skillful combination of elements of varying weights. What purchases should we consider to make this style our own? Among the recommendations, the cardigan is a must. We've already mentioned it and we'll mention it again.

Also on the list is the long-sleeved cotton sweater, the light turtleneck (we suggest having it in three versions: white, black, and blue), the shirt (we recommend starting with two options: white and light blue), and the round or V-neck sweater, whichever you prefer (white, black, and beige + a colorful model for those days when you need an extra boost of energy).
