Welcome to our post about the Fall Pieces You Need for a Sophisticated Wardrobe!
With the right pieces getting dressed this season will be a piece of cake. Here I’ll show you the essential pieces for fall that will make you feel elegant and in style all season long.
So, without further ado here are the Fall Pieces You Need for a Sophisticated Wardrobe:
1. Trench Coat
Trench coats are perfect for fall, they are classic pieces that everyone needs! It was during the First World War that this now iconic garment took the shape that we recognize today, a form that remains current despite being more than 100 years old. People have been using trench coats for more than a century and if that doesn’t prove they won’t go out of style then I don’t know what will! And we can’t speak of trench coats without speaking of Burberry! Burberry first created the water and wind proof fabric called gabardine in 1879. Using this material, Burberry would go on to design the first predecessor to the trench coat. After the war, it transformed into a fashion statement for men and women alike thanks to movie stars who wore the stylish coat on film.
Today trench coats are worn by woman all over the world. This trench from Sam Edelman will be a staple for fall days.
2. Jeans
The Jeans were created in 1853 when Levi Strauss founded a wholesale business in San Francisco, since then a good pair of jeans is a must-have for every lifestyle. Whether your preferred fit is straight leg, skinny, or oversized, take the time to find a high-quality pair that will last forever and make you feel like your best self, every time you put them on. Jeans are an everyday staple that can be worn to almost every occasion. In my opinion the most versatile and the one that will not go out of style is the straight leg, but no matter which one you choose it is an essential clothing item to have.

3. Loafers
Since the 1950’s loafers have been a part of the most classic shoes a woman can own. Inspired by men’s shoes they look as good with a pair of jeans as they do with a summer dress. Despite the many inventive iterations of the style, the flat, no-frills black leather loafer is as iconic as it is classic. Of course there are multiple types of shoes that are essential to a complete wardrobe, but the loafer is one you cannot live without.

4. Tote Bag
Focusing on practicality is an easy way to attain ‘classic’ status and, in the realm of accessories, it doesn’t come much more functional than a roomy tote. Supremely versatile, a tote bag – with its simple silhouette and practical top handles – is a must have. Whether you opt for classic black tote or a colorful monogram one, a timeless tote is sure to make a welcome addition to any collection. From trapeze top-handles to big shoulder bags, a leather tote is more than just pragmatic, it’s a must-have shape for any lifestyle.

5. Blazer
Gone are the days when a blazer was only office attire, now it is a staple piece for every occasion. The key is to look for a blazer that you can layer with any top, whether a t-shirt or a blouse. The right blazer will make you feel powerful, stylish and comfortable at the same time. A nice structured blazer works like a charm on any outfit, it will take you seamlessly from work, to happy hour, to a night out. Blazers have definitely become staples for women and paring one with jeans and a white shirt is the best way to channel your inner Princess Diana!

6. Boots
Of course no fall wardrobe is complete without a good pair of boots! Rain boots are always practical in the colder months, but you can also go for more elevated styles to complement your outfits! A knee-high boot will always be chic, while an ankle boot can be super stylish. Choose the right boot and you can wear it for any occasion, from work to a night out!

7. Trousers
Another menswear-inspired staple, a good trouser will be your best friend if you like a more classical look. They are perfect for work but can also be dressed down if worn with a t-shirt and sneakers. They will suit every style and are certainly an investment piece. It’s simple and elegant and not only slims the body but also elongates it. Not to mention that they are super comfortable! Some prefer the cigarette type, others like me prefer the straight or wide-leg-cut that really elongates your legs, but no matter the style, a good tailored trouser is a must-have.
For my wide-leg lovers, these trousers from The Frankie Shop will be your best friend this fall!
8. Cashmere Sweater
Whatever your age or style a cashmere jumper will always be a good idea for fall. Cashmere is more expensive than your usual knit but for a good reason: if you take care of it, cashmere will last an age, it is warmer than its cheaper counterparts and way softer. Pop a cashmere sweater over your shoulders come spring, wear alone come fall, and layer it into your winter outfits. Remember, a good cashmere sweater will last a lifetime, it will always keep you warm.

9. Everyday Sneakers
While black dresses and blue jeans have long been deemed classics, the sleek white sneaker is a relatively newer inductee to the list of wardrobe must-haves. They are no longer only for sports settings but are an everyday off-duty essential. A streamlined tennis-style shoe will always serve you well, they are the most versatile shoe ever. A must-have for multiple occasions, you cannot go wrong with a minimal sneaker.

10. Button-Down Shirt
One of the many menswear-inspired staples that make up a solid wardrobe foundation, a white button-up is a must. It will always come in hand no matter the occasion or your personal style. Wear it closed with trousers for the perfect timeless office attire, wear it open with jeans and a t-shirt for a casual stroll or layer it under sweaters in colder days. The right shirt will be the starting point of your elegant fall outfits!
