Tops and Layering Basics
These are the quiet workhorses of a capsule closet. A basic cotton ribbed tank under a cardigan or open shirt adds an extra layer and keeps the outfit looking put together, and you don't need to spend much on them.
Women's Slim Fit Ribbed Tank Top - A New Day™ Brown XS
This is the piece I'd tell anyone to buy first. Uniqlo's heavier cotton tees don't go see-through and don't lose their shape after a few washes, and that's what you want from something you'll wear constantly. It goes under blazers, sweaters and leath...

Saint James has been making striped tops for a very long time, and the thick cotton shows it. A classic stripe makes the simplest outfit look put together, and it doesn't go out of style. Wear it with jeans, under a blazer, or with a skirt and boots.
Saint James Cream and Red Striped Long-Sleeve Top
Not glamorous, but an essential if your winters get cold. A thin base layer under your clothes keeps you warm without adding bulk, so you can still wear the cute outfits when the weather turns. I'd rather wear this under a sweater than bundle up in t...

Knits & Sweaters
Burgundy is the one pop of color I'd add for fall. It looks great with denim, black trousers and brown leather. These sweaters are so freaking cozy, and the fit has an oversized look that stays flattering.

Green gives a neutral palette a bit of life without clashing with anything. Uniqlo's turtlenecks are warm, breathable and not itchy, which is all the things i look for in a knit I'll actually wear all day.

A cream sweater goes with every other piece on this board, so it earns its spot. Quince makes soft merino and cashmere-style knits at friendlier prices than traditional cashmere brands.

A cardigan is one of the most useful layers you can own. It works over a tee, a tank or a dress, and it's warm enough on its own for mild fall days. Wool and wool-blend knits keep their shape better than thin acrylic ones, so you don't have to be wor...
Quince Brown Button-Up Cardigan
Outerwear
Patagonia is known for jackets that hold up, and the brand offers repairs, which makes it worth the money. A black puffer is the practical piece you wear on the coldest days and in bad weather. It keeps you warm without making you look bulky.
Black Puffer Jackets for Women
This is the coat that makes everything underneath look elegant. A wool blend with real weight keeps you warmer and holds up better than thin polyester coats. Camel pairs with all the browns, creams and blacks on this board.

Bottoms
Everyone needs a comfy outfit for lounging, errands and travel days. Lululemon's soft sets hold up well in the wash and look neat without being stiff. It's a splurge, but a set like this gets worn constantly.
Sweatpants Set
Dark denim dresses up works much better than a lighter wash in my opinion, so these work for going out, the office or a dinner.

A big, soft scarf is the cheapest way to make an outfit feel like fall. Uniqlo's are warm and affordable, and the plaid pattern fits the brown and cream palette. It also doubles as a light wrap when you need one.
Unisex HEATTECH Checked Scarf
These two small things matter a lot when it gets cold. Lined gloves and a soft beanie keep you warm enough to walk outside comfortably. They're affordable, so buy a spare set in case you lose one.

I love the feel of these gloves particularly, I've had a brown pair for ages now and though they're a bit worn out, they still keep my fingers warm.
