What do you absolutely need for the perfect fall and winter wardrobe? Herein is a checklist for what you need to create outfits for every occasion during the cool seasons. Age doesn’t matter because all of these items are classic and basic pieces. They will go with everything else you own to make a complete seasonal wardrobe that works.
(For a Spring and Summer checklist, see my post on how to make more outfits out of what you have HERE.)
Maybe you already have all or most of these essentials. If not, use this list to fill in gaps in your cool-weather wardrobe or upgrade things that are wearing out (or wearing out their welcome).
I’m not one for paring my clothes down into a capsule wardrobe because I love to have options for creating something a little different every day. But I do believe in having all the basics you’ll need to provide the main structure for a wide array of outfit possibilities.
If you have all the necessities, you won’t ever have to feel like you don’t have anything to wear!

One of this summer’s trends is chain jewelry of all sorts: necklaces, bracelets, belts, etc. Of course, that makes sense because simple chains add instant flair and yet they can be light and minimal on hot days. For more of an impact, they can be mixed: heavy chains with delicate ones, silver with gold or layered with other pieces. They certainly go with anything, from any color to prints, graphics and textures. Chains are classic, so they don’t actually go out of style. And age doesn’t matter.
