Long-sleeve stripe tee:
Great for everyday wear, a long-sleeve stripe tee adds a bit of patterned interest to outfits! This fall essential top looks awesome layered under cardigans, jackets and scarves. Tuck a long-sleeve stripe tee into shorts, skirts and jeans. Don’t be afraid to mix your stripes with other prints like plaid, too! See more ways to wear striped tees here.
Oxford shirt:
Chic-ify your wardrobe with an oxford shirt in light blue! Oxford button-up shirts give a bit of polish to any outfit and we love how versatile they are. Wear one for casual daytime looks or professional office wear. It’s so cute to layer an oxford button-up under a structured shift dress or tie it on top of a slinky slip dress! And this button-up shirt works perfectly with a blazer when you’re going for serious vibes. See more ways to wear oxford shirts here.
Shop oxford shirts at Nordstrom, J.Crew, and Bloomingdale’s.
Chambray button-up:
Every girl has gotta have a chambray button-up in her closet, right?! This is a closet staple for good reason — it’s a jean shirt and jeans go with everything! You may very well want to have on hand a couple different styles and shades of chambray button-ups since they are so useful and stylish. Add a denim-spin to different outfits — wear your chambray as “double-denim” by pairing it with jeans, or dress it up by tucking it into a skirt! See more ways to wear button-ups here.
Look for chambray button-ups at Anthropologie, J.Crew, and Lucky Brand.
Plaid shirts:
There is little that is more cozy than a soft flannel shirt on a brisk day! Who doesn’t love plaid in fall?! If you’re like us you’ll want at least a few of these babies in your fall closet to provide an extra layer of warmth. They look great layered under jackets (think utility and denim jackets) and layered over plain T-shirts (like they are a jacket). See more ways to wear plaid shirts here.
Get plaid shirts at Nordstrom, Free People, and Express.
A few fun blouses:
Having a few great long-sleeved daytime blouses will serve you well in fall! They should be both comfortable and fun, with a pattern like polka dots or great detailing like balloon sleeves. Use these fun blouses to add some spice to trousers, jeans, and skirts for lunch and work outfits. See more ways to wear fun blouses here.

Fun going-out top:
You need at least one fun going-out top that is perfectly suited to fall! Probably a long-sleeve version considering dropping temps, but at this time of year you can get away with a plunging neckline or sheer chiffon. Remember, a going-out top should have sex appeal — it’s a style you can’t get away with during the day so embrace the different attitude! This slinky or sheer number will make you feel sensual and womanly.

Turtleneck sweater:
When fall hits, it is time to unearth all those SWEATERS! Yay!!! For the cold weather of fall and winter, turtleneck sweaters are one of the best things to keep you the warmest. A turtleneck sweater is good for fall in a brown or camel color (neutrals that go with just about anything), but there are nice colors to pick from as well — like pastel pink or bright yellow. Slimmer-cut versions can be tucked into skirts and trousers, and they easily fit under jackets, vests, blouses or other sweaters! Or go with a chunkier/slouchier version and wear it with leggings. See more ways to wear turtlenecks here.

Crewneck sweaters:
Crewneck sweaters are perfect for the fall season! They are sure to keep you warm and looking cute. Try different styles of crewneck sweaters — boxy cuts, sleeve detailing, cropped, pastel colors. Then just toss ‘em on with skirts, jeans, tailored pants, track pants, and over dresses! See more ways to wear sweaters here.
Look for crewneck sweaters at J.Crew, Urban Outfitters, and Express.
Athletic sweatshirt:
Love the athleisure trend? Fall is the perfect time to wear all your sporty sweatshirts! But don’t just wear them with standard workout leggings — mix it up and make unexpected, fashion-girl combos with tailored trousers or dressy skirts. Athletic sweatshirts are a great way to show your cute casual style. Have fun with colors and graphics with this ultra-cozy wardrobe piece! See more ways to wear sweatshirts here.
