My comfy but put-together Mango fall wardrobe: easy basics and a few pieces that do the talking
15
items Fall is my favorite season to get dressed, mostly because I can finally live in knits again. As a busy mom, I want clothes that feel as comfy as loungewear but still look like I made an effort for school drop-off, work and dinner out. Mango is one of...

Comfy basics
This is the tee I keep reaching for once it's cool enough for sleeves. The boat neck is a little more flattering than a basic crew, and it's fitted enough to layer under a cardigan or jacket without bunching up. I wear it with wide-leg pants and loaf...
Mango Long-Sleeved Boat-Neck T-Shirt
My secret layering piece. It's a fine knit, so it slides under a blazer, a leather jacket or even a slip dress without adding bulk, and the high neck keeps the chill off when I'm out on the sidelines at soccer practice. It's slim fitting, so I'd size...
Mango Fitted High-Neck T-Shirt
I've always loved a cardigan that can pass as a top, and this one does it. Buttoned all the way up it looks like a cute fitted sweater, and open over a tee it's my cozy layer for chilly mornings. The olive green is so pretty for fall, but there are m...
Mango V-Neck Buttoned Cardigan
This is the sweater for those first really cold mornings. It's a chunky wool blend with a high neck, so it feels like wearing a hug, but the straight fit keeps it from looking sloppy. I love the cream with jeans and boots, and it's thick enough that ...
Mango Turtleneck Wool Sweater
My weekend uniform piece. It has all the comfort of a sweatshirt, but the fine knit and zip neck make it look like I tried. I unzip it a little over a collared shirt when I want to look sharper, or zip it all the way up for a chilly walk with the dog...
Mango Turtleneck Sweatshirt with Zip
Okay, these are basically pajamas that look like real pants. Elastic waist, soft fine knit, and a wide leg that moves when you walk. The chocolate brown is such a good fall color and looks great with the matching knit top if you want an easy set. I'v...
Mango Fine-Knit Wide-Leg Trousers
Hear me out on white jeans in fall. This off-white wash with a chunky knit and brown boots is one of my favorite cold weather combos, and it instantly makes a simple outfit look fresh. They're 100% cotton, high waisted and wide through the leg, so th...
Mango Danila High-Waisted Wide-Leg Jeans
Corduroy just feels like fall to me. These are high rise with a wide leg and real five pocket jeans details, so they wear exactly like my favorite denim but with that soft, cozy texture. The camel color pairs with basically every sweater on this list...
Mango Wide-Leg Corduroy Trousers
Statement pieces
If you're going to splurge on one thing this fall, I'd make it a real wool coat, and this one is 100% wool. The funnel neck means I can skip a scarf, and the relaxed shape fits easily over a chunky sweater. The soft grey goes with everything, black, ...
Mango 100% Wool Funnel-Neck Coat
Every fall wardrobe needs one jacket with attitude, and this is mine. It's real sheepskin leather, cropped and a little oversized, so it sits nicely over a hoodie or a knit dress and doesn't feel stiff. I throw it on with jeans and a tee and suddenly...
Mango Cropped Leather Jacket with Lapels
This skirt is my answer to "I want to look nice but I also want to wear a sweater." The faux leather gives a plain knit and boots a little edge, and the A-line midi shape is easy to move in, chasing kids included. I love it with the cream turtleneck ...
Mango Faux Leather A-Line Midi Skirt
A knit dress is the closest thing to wearing a sweater all day and still looking dressed up. This one has a turtleneck with a little bow and ruching at the side, which is so flattering through the middle. Fine knit, long sleeves, slim fit. I'd wear i...
Mango Ruched-Side Knit Turtleneck Dress
Finishing touches
The boots I'd actually walk around in all day. Soft brown suede, a rounded toe and a 2.5 inch block heel that gives a little lift without hurting by noon. A side zip makes them quick to get on when we're running late, which is always. They go with ev...
Mango Suede Block-Heel Boots
Big enough for my laptop, a water bottle, snacks and whatever my kids hand me, but it still looks grown up. It's real suede leather in a rich brown that goes with every fall outfit, and the open top means no fumbling with zippers in the school pickup...
Mango Suede Leather Shopper Bag
The easiest way to make the same coat look different all week. It's a long check scarf with fringed ends, generous enough to wrap twice or wear loose like a mini blanket on a cold soccer morning. The warm check pairs with the grey coat, the leather j...
