The Pre-Fall Capsule Wardrobe You’ll Wear on Repeat

Creating capsule wardrobes for So Susie is at the top of my list … and I think you’re going to love this one 🤍 I spent hours selecting just the right items, and this time I’ve mixed in a few special pieces that will bring your outfits together beautifully. Having endless outfit combinations is helpful for all of us! And, since we’re heading into the pre-fall season, now is the time to start thinking about updating our wardrobes.

The right capsule now will carry you seamlessly from late summer to the first crisp days of fall. In today’s edit, I’ve handpicked items that strike the perfect balance between timeless and on-trend — the kind you’ll wear on repeat. This month, I was inspired by shades of blue combined with soft whites, beautiful brown pieces, and little touches of leopard print. These colors always give you a sophisticated, stylish look, and they’re perfect for this time of year.

Today I’m sharing a curated capsule filled with staples you’ll wear on repeat, and a few on-trend updates. These are all designed to mix, match and work hard for you in the months ahead. Remember, this capsule is for inspiration, and you can easily substitute anything you already own. For example, I fell in love with this Burberry crop trench, but you might prefer this more affordable one. Keep this post for reference … you’ll use it for the rest of the year. Cheers to fall! 🥂

How to Create Your Own Capsule Wardrobe

In order to create an amazing wardrobe, you have to start with the basics. Then, once you have the basics covered, you can throw in a trend piece or two. And after that, keep things fresh and updated by adding new, colorful accessories. It’s always hard to narrow this down, but the pieces below are ones I recommend as we head into the fall season. Trust me, these pieces will make many stylish outfits!

All-important Jackets

When I start working on a capsule wardrobe, it’s the jackets, or “third pieces,” that I think about first. Not only are these wardrobe staples ones that you’ll have for years to come, but they’re also an important part of any stylish fall outfit. Think of a coat or jacket as the foundation, and the starting point of many great outfits.

 

Rag & Bone Utility Jacket

Rag & Bone utility jacket

Left: Camel sweater | Jeans | White loafers | Tote | Right: Polo sweater | Jeans |  White bag | Suede boots | Belt | Earrings

Why I chose it: The utility jacket (or barn jacket) is a trendy piece that’s also practical. Try styling it with dressier pieces like pointy toe boots, trouser jeans and even a skirt. Such a great piece — love the trending brown color on this one.

Other options: This green Rag & Bone one and this affordable one

 

Soft White Blazer

Aritzia soft white blazer

Why I chose it: This relaxed and slightly oversized blazer is so good — I own it and wear it constantly. The fabric can be worn year ’round, and it’s a versatile piece. You can wear it many ways: with a matching pant for a monochromatic look, or with your favorite denim. This is a great piece!

Other options: This Aritiza soft trench in the same color

 

Dark Brown Poncho

COS Asymmetrical Poncho

Why I chose it: Lately, I’m seeing all the cool girls wear wraps and ponchos. So, when I saw this, it was a quick order for me! Brown is so luxurious, and looks beautiful when combined with black or denim. This is a piece you’ll wear all the time.

 

Cropped Trench

Burberry Cropped Trench

Why I chose it: Think of a cropped trench as a wardrobe staple. It’s versatile, and perfect for this time of year. Of course, you can substitute this one for a less expensive version like this. You can also substitute it for a longer one like this. Whichever style you go with, you’ll wear it all the time!

Other options: this Rails one or this best-selling Frame one

 

Leopard Jacket

Why I chose it: Leopard is a classic print that just always works. When I spotted this well-priced jacket, I knew it had to be a part of the fall capsule. It’s versatile, and you can dress it up or down. And, it adds a little flair to anything you wear with it.

 

Denim Jacket

Favorite Daughter Denim Jacket

Why I chose it: Every wardrobe needs a denim jacket — but it must be updated! Gone are the traditional ones like these, Try a looser style that’s equally as versatile like the one on the board, or something like this or this. You will wear a denim jacket on repeat in the fall — it’s an easy piece because it goes with everything!
