I am so excited that Labor Day is this weekend! I think of it as the start bell for the most fashionable times of the year. I am here for the layers, sweater weather, suede booties, and all kinds of cute accessories! I wanted to show you what items I now have in my closet for fall that I believe are Fall Wardrobe Essentials! Check out this other recent post where I listed the items from my Summer Capsule Wardrobe as well as the new items that I am planning to use in my Fall Capsule Wardrobe 2024.
In today’s post, I will show you my favorite items for My Fall Wardrobe Essentials. These are the items you will reach for again and again to make many mix-and-match outfits, I promise! Click on the highlighted words to go right to the items. Also, at the end of the post, I will have clickable photos of every item for you.

Fall Wardrobe Essentials:
1.Vests
If you’ve been paying attention to the Fall 2024 fashion trends, you will have seen all kinds of vests. I think they are so easy to wear. They can be worn as a top or they can be readily layered over tees, blouses, and the like! I just received this one from Evereve and I can’t wait to wear it! It’s well-made and has a button closure. Another cute one that I purchased last year but is still on trend is this knit one. It comes in lots of colors, here. Don’t miss the 30% off coupon!
2. Blazers
I love a blazer, especially in the fall and winter. This one by a company called The Drop, is so sharp! I love the richness of the black glen plaid as well as the fact that there is brown, and cream in the colors as well. I will be wearing this on repeat with blue jeans, black jeans, black pants, and so much more. It fits true to size and is a great buy, as is currently 20% off.
3. Wide-Leg Jeans
Wide-leg jeans are so “on trend” right now. I love the silhouette and I think these wide-leg jeans look terrific with a vest, a blazer, a cashmere sweater, or of course, a white tee. These jeans have cute small patch pockets on the front and are described as high-waisted. I usually have trouble with high-waisted pants, but these work well on my short-waisted 5’4″ frame. Another very beautiful wide-leg option is this one from Madewell.
4. Cashmere V-neck Sweater
I am so delighted to tell you that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this cashmere sweater. It is only $50 and it is so soft and great quality. It comes in eleven colors and I went with the ivory. Other basic colors that I have in my closet include pale heather, black, and camel. This can be worn alone, over a tee, over a blouse, or, wrapped around your neck like a scarf. It’s SUCH A GREAT BUY! Strongly consider trying one of these gorgeous sweaters for your list of fall wardrobe essentials.
5. Black Handbag
This purse is so high-end in its look and its features. It’s made of scratch-resistant black pebbled leather and the gold hardware is very substantial in its quality. I love the classic lines and that it comes with a shoulder strap for a different look. This is a classic-looking handbag that will go with everything from jeans and a tee, to a work blazer and trousers outfit. Check it out!
6. Striped Lady Jacket
After watching all the Olympics as well as Season Four of “Emily In Paris”, I am so about more of this Chanel-inspired Lady Jacket trend. This one is terrific and a great value. It’s so soft to the touch, and the gold buttons are very “in” this season! This striped cardigan comes in lots of color options and don’t miss the 20% off coupon!
7. Leopard is So “IN”!
Personally, I always love a leopard anything come fall and winter. But this season, leopard is a really BIG DEAL! Consider adding something leopard to your fall wardrobe essentials.
Here are some comfy, and very cute leopard flats that I love with everything from white jeans, to blue denim and of course, black pants.
In addition, I found this very soft, chic, lightweight, and inexpensive leopard cardigan
several seasons ago. It is going strong in my wardrobe and you should check it out! Don’t miss the 17% off coupon!
And there is this terrific leopard v-neck tee that I love. So cute under a vest, or a blazer, or on its own.
If you just want to dip your toe into this leopard trend, consider this classic and gorgeous leopard belt. Perfect with jeans (white, blue, or black). Also terrific with tan, black, or brown pants. Don’t miss the Labor Day weekend 25% off sale!
And the last leopard option is a fun leopard scarf (or this one). Pop it on your neck or tie it around your handbag handle as a gentle nod to this trend.
8. Coatigan
Are you a fan of the J Crew coatigan? I tried to be but had to return it because the wool was too scratchy. I tried this one instead and liked it so much last season in tan, that I now also bought it in black. Terrific piece and one of my favorite fall wardrobe essentials. Great over denim, or black leggings. Comes in loads of colors. Don’t miss the 40% off coupon!
9. Polka Dot Top
Another big trend this past summer and comfortably heading into fall is this darling black and white polka dot top with a playful tie at the neck. Fun, and a bit flirty, I can’t wait to pair this with my new black faux leather jacket and wide-leg jeans for the “win”!
10. Faux Leather Jacket
This just came in the mail and I am wearing it tonight to dinner with friends! So soft, so classic, and such pretty gold hardware! You NEED this faux leather jacket as one of your Fall Wardrobe Essentials! It will be as versatile as a classic jean jacket!
