Seven Fall Wardrobe Essentials

Before you buy anything new for fall, shop your own closet first. Every year when the weather starts to shift, I find myself reaching for the same handful of pieces. These are my fall wardrobe essentials for women over 50, the seven pieces that make transitioning into fall so much easier. They work now while the afternoons are still warm, and they work later when you need a layer. You might already have most of your fall wardrobe sitting in your closet.

My Seven Fall Wardrobe Staples

Straight Leg Jeans

Straight leg jeans are relaxed without being baggy, and they look just as good with flats now as they will with boots later in the season. A medium or darker wash feels right for fall.

White Button Up

A crisp white button up is one of the hardest working pieces in my closet. Roll the sleeves, tuck, half tuck, or wear it open over a sweater tee as a light jacket when it cools off.

cashmere Sweater Tee

A cashmere sweater tee has the ease of a regular tee with a little more texture and warmth. Mine is surprisingly affordable, so I picked it up in a few neutral colors. It’s the piece I reach for most on those in between days, and it’s a true closet staple.

Cropped Cardigan

A cropped cardigan hits right at the waist, so it pairs well with almost any type of jeans and doesn’t overwhelm your frame. Brown is one of the biggest colors for fall this year, and it works with everything else on this list. Wear it open as a layer or buttoned up on its own.

Neutral Flats

After hearing so much hype about Rothy’s, I finally gave them a try. These are the square toe Mary Jane’s in cheatah, which I love as a fall neutral. They’re comfortable right out of the box, and they’re washable, which is a nice bonus. If you decide to try them, I recommend sizing up one.

Lightweight Jacket

My green faux suede bomber jacket is the layer I throw on most fall mornings. Green is a fresh change from black or camel, and faux suede feels seasonal without the weight of a coat.

Suede Handbag

The Teddy Blake Ava bag in suede is my favorite for fall. Suede brings in texture, and the shape is classic enough to carry with jeans, a dress or anything in between. Use code TBDOUSEDINPINK for $30 off your purchase.

Easy Fall Outfits for Women Over 50

Here’s how I’m wearing these pieces together.

Straight leg jeans, a white button up with the sleeves rolled and half tucked, leopard Mary Janes and my suede bag. When it’s cooler, I add the green bomber on top.

Fall Essentials That Layer Together

A sweater tee on its own with jeans, flats and the bag, then a lightweight jacket over it when there’s a chill in the air. It’s an easy outfit that works now and later, no matter which colors you have in your closet.

Why These Fall Essentials Work Now and Later

Every piece here works no matter what the weather brings. Start with the basics now, then add the bomber or cardigan as the weather changes. Nothing needs to be packed away and swapped out, and that’s what makes these fall wardrobe essentials for women over 50 so easy to live in all season.

Shop Your Closet First

Before you add anything new to your cart, take a look at what’s already hanging in your closet. You may find you already own most of these fall wardrobe essentials for women over 50, and any gaps will be easy to fill.
