Last weekend, I went to Las Vegas with my sister to soak up the sun poolside. Usually, by November the weather cools down in Las Vegas and they start calling it their winter season. However, it was already starting to cool the last week of October. Instead of temperatures in the 80’s Fahrenheit, they dipped into the 60’s. Doesn’t it seem to happen that the weather turns unfavorable right when you travel someplace?! It was 80 again the day after we got back. In the end, we even enjoyed the pool on 68 degree days because there was sun and no wind on deck.

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.

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!
