Autumn is here and that means it’s time to change up our wardrobes. Autumn winter is my favourite time of year for fashion, I just love the layers and cosy vibes. Putting together a capsule wardrobe will mean you have timeless pieces that can be worn in many different ways. Not only do capsule wardrobes save space and money, but they make putting an outfit together is so much quickly and easier too.
Read on for 10 key pieces to add to your autumn winter capsule wardrobe in 2024…
1. Puffer coats
A puffer coat is an absolute essential for most people during autumn and winter. They look cool and casual, yet keep you warm and dry when you need it the most. If you spend a lot of time outdoors you really shouldn’t be without a puffer coat. Perhaps, like me you are out walking the dog in all weather. Or you’re a mum doing the school run even in torrential rain. A puffer coat will be your best friend.
2. Tracksuits
Womens tracksuits are perfect for the colder weather as they keep you warm and cosy whether you’re lounging at home or you’re out and about running errands. A simple grey tracksuit can be worn casually or dressed up with a classic wool coat and your favourite trainers for a cooler, on trend look.
3. Boots
A good pair of waterproof boots are a must for autumn and winter. The unpredictable weather means lots of puddles and mud so you need to be able to rely on your footwear to keep your feet dry and warm. Ugg boots are a great cosy option, but aren’t good in wet weather conditions. You can’t go far wrong with a classic black pair of boots, such as a chelsea style boot or Dr Martens.
4. Knitwear
Knitwear is something you should always invest in to get the best quality pieces that will last in your wardrobe for many years to come. It can be easy to get sucked in by the latest trends but really a good quality grey jumper is all you need and will go with any outfit combination.
5. Leggings
I could not be without a good pair of black leggings at any time of the year, but especially in autumn and winter. Paired with an oversized sweatshirt, sports socks and trainers, you’ve got yourself the perfect comfy yet practical autumn outfit.
6. Wool coats
A classic wool coat is a great addition to a winter wardrobe. They look stylish and smarten up any outfit, whilst keeping you warm. I have just invested in a beautiful long grey wool coat and I’m so excited to style it this autumn.
7. Sweatshirts
As I mentioned earlier, a good oversized sweatshirt with a pair of leggings is the perfect autumn comfy, yet on trend outfit. Perfect for dog walks and school runs yet minimal thought is required. Just throw on and go!
8. Denim
A good pair of jeans is a staple in any autumn winter capsule wardrobe. I would suggest a blue pair and a black pair so you have different options to go with different outfits. Wide leg and straight leg jeans are very much on trend right now and I love how both of these styles fit. But it’s important to try on different styles to find what suits you and you are most comfortable in. We all know jeans shopping can be a long and stressful process but once you find the right pair, it’s worth it!
9. Trainers
Your autumn winter capsule wardrobe will not be complete without a good pair of trainers. These will go with leggings, jeans and even dress down smarter trousers. I couldn’t be without my white adidas Sambas as they are so comfortable and go with absolutely everything. My most worn trainers for sure.
10. Tote bags
A good tote bag is a great addition to your wardrobe. They are big enough to fit your laptop, shopping or mum stuff! If you’re not sure about adding prints and colours to your wardrobe, a bag is a great way to do with. Why not try a leopard print tote bag? This way you’re dipping your toe into a trend without it being too much.
I hope that this post has been helpful. Happy shopping!
