3 Fall Basics You Need In Your Closet

So let’s talk about Fall basics you need to have in your closet; boots, denim and leather!! I’m so excited that D.C. has had Fall weather for the past few days! Fall is absolutely my favorite time of year. I love the colors, the nice crisp mornings, and most importantly, Fall wardrobes! So it is only right that I give you some of my favorite Fall basics. While others are posting about the latest trends, I would like to share the basic, classic fall pieces that will stand the test of time.

1. Leather Jacket

So it’s funny that the leather jacket has made my list of fall basics. I went through a phase where I never wore leather jackets; they just weren’t my thing. But now, I can’t wait to rock my leather jacket with my leopard print dress (shown here). These leopard dresses here, here, here and here are perfect looks to wear with a leather jacket this fall. In addition, I know a leather jacket will go perfect with my favorite Paige black denim and a neutral sweater (that I’m still on the hunt for). You can basically make anything look great with a leather jacket.

Stylish Leather Jackets

So being a member of Trunk club, I knew my fall trunk had to include a couple of leather jackets for me to try this season. Both the Chelsea Moto Jacket and Marc New York Moto Jacket are great options! They were both in my trunk. I love the way both of them fit, but I ultimately chose the Chelsea Moto Jacket. The fit was perfect.

2. Booties

Booties must be included as part of your basic fall wardrobe, right!? They weren’t always my jam, but as I’ve gotten older I’m all about comfort and ease. I also can’t foresee booties ever going out of style, so get you a great classic pair that will stand the test of time. My advice is to spend a little more now on a great pair of booties. My current favorite pair of booties are by Loeffler Randall and I’ve had them for at least 5 years. I can dress them up or down! But check out a few styles I’m currently crushing over!

3. Denim

Denim is literally a must have for your basic fall wardrobe! My favorite denim is by AG and Paige . Both have proven to be the most comfortable pairs of jeans I own. I’m all about comfort when it comes to jeans. Here are a few of my favorite pair by them.

I love these classic pieces because they are staples you need in your closet that will last forever. I advise spending a little more for those classic pieces and spend less on the more trendier pieces.
