I can’t even believe we’re in mid-October already! The kids are on Fall break right now, and we’re just getting back from a weekend road trip vacation to San Antonio. We had a fun-filled couple of days (which I’ll be sharing here later this week!) and I absolutely love the change that a new season brings. I’m sharing 5 must-have Fall clothing pieces you need to have in your closet as we transition into cooler weather!
Fall Clothing Staples
1. Chunky Long Cardigan
Cardigan: Amazon Cable Knit Cardigan (S / size down)
Cardigans are my all-time favorite closet staple for Fall as it’s the perfect layering piece that not only keeps me warm but that also helps pull together an outfit! This season my favorite cardigans are the chunky styles as they just make me feel like I’m cozily wrapped up in a blanket. I found this one off Amazon and love the burnt orange color plus the twisted cable knitting.

2. Knee-High Boots
Shoes: Chinese Laundry ‘Krafty’ Boots (5.5 / TTS) – on sale! (similar)
So boots are kinda like my love language. Wearing boots may just be the thing that I look forward to most when it comes to dressing for Fall! A good knee-high brown boot is a must-have and this pair from Chinese Laundry is a top seller on their site plus it’s on sale right now! The fit is petite friendly and the stacked heel makes it a great walking shoe too.
3. Denim Skirt
Bottom: Jen7 Tie-Waist Skirt c/o (0 / TTS) – (also here)
Denim is back in a major way right now, as is everything else from the 90s. Denim jackets and chambray shirts have long been a style that’s on trend for Fall, but this season the denim skirt is making a major comeback too! I personally have been having a moment where jeans are just not appealing to me on most days, so this skirt was calling my name! I love the tie waist detail as it’s so flattering for cinching in the waist and adding some shape.
4. Mini Backpack
Bag: Anyone else have a mini backpack from their childhood? This style is another throwback but honestly I am HERE 👏 FOR 👏 IT! I love being able to go hands-free and this mini backpack also happens to be a designer-inspired option found on Amazon! Lots of compartments and honestly, it’s so much roomier than it looks. I fit my wallet, keys, phone, and even selfie-stick tripod without any issues!
5. Bodysuit
Top: Express (old, similar, similar, love this one-shoulder option)
For the longest time, I didn’t think I could pull off a bodysuit but really, it was just because I hadn’t found the right one! Turns out that bodysuits are actually incredibly flattering and such an easy style to pair with high waisted bottoms. Bodysuits are also perfect layered under cardigans or blazers and create that clean, polished look without any effort!

This is hands down one of my favorite outfits you’ve ever posted. The colors are glorious! So autumnal! I also love the way you put the entire look together. The tie waist on the skirt, the chunky sweater – it all just flows together brilliantly.

Give me all the cozy cardigans! Loving this outfit– I’m inspired to break out my denim skirt and pair it with a cardi now!
You’re so right about the long, chunky cardigan. I’ve been looking for one that is the right color and fits my style. Perfect fall vibes.
Sucha perfect fall look! Yes I totally agree…knee boots are IT this year. I just ordered a paid and can’t wait to get them!

I love your ootd! A good chunky cardigan is a must! Love the fall colors too!
I’m in love with cardigans right now and this one is a must have. The whole outfit is super cute on you.
Your outfit definitely reminds of fall from the colors. By the way, your denim skirt is so cute.
Love that denim skirt!! Such a cute fall outfit!
Cardigans are in! I don’t have one any right now so tomorrow, it’s time to get one! Thanks for the tips, lovely.
Girl you look super cute! Love the brown tones everywhere 🙂
I’m obsessed with that mini backpack!! It’s so cute!
I have shopped for all of these except the denim skirt. I think I will get a few of these and match them with some cute tights.
Loved the tips Kileen! I feel a wool hat can also be a great addition to the fall clothing collection. They just help complete the outfit. Plus, they are great for the bad hair days.
