Imagine a closet with only your favorite clothes that all fit great. You can mix and match them to create tons of outfits! That’s a capsule wardrobe. It helps you get dressed quicker, saves money, and is better for the planet. For fall, think cozy sweaters, stylish boots, and your favorite jeans, all in colors you love that look great together. Here is my fall capsule wardrobe with 100+ plus-size fall outfit ideas.
Building the Perfect Fall Capsule Wardrobe
It’s time to adjust your year-long capsule for the next season! You can wear essentials year-round like a white button-down shirt, chambray shirt, jeans, or sneakers. Now, to make it a fall capsule, you just swap a few things out! Change your sandals to boots. Add a cozy cardigan or jacket. Introduce richer colors like burgundy and forest green. You’re using what you already have and just adding a few fall-specific pieces to make it perfect for the season.

Layering Tips
Layering for warmth without looking like a marshmallow is all about choosing the right pieces and fabrics! Start with thin, snug layers like a fitted t-shirt or a thin turtleneck. Then, add something a little warmer, like a fleece or a lightweight sweater. Your outer layer could be a denim jacket, a cardigan, or a coat, depending on how cold it is.
To make your outfit more interesting, try mixing different textures and patterns. Don’t be afraid to play around and see what looks good together! The key is to keep the thinner layers close to your body and add bulk gradually as you go out.
