I Work in Luxury Fashion, and These Are the Only 15 Capsule Wardrobe Pieces You Need for Fall-From $11

"Fall is a tricky season to dress for, with crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and chilly evenings that always call for a cozy layer, which makes packing a fall travel wardrobe quite the challenge. But, after spending years in the luxury fashion industry in New York City, I've learned the ins and outs of how to put together the ultimate travel capsule wardrobe that works for any season-and it boils down to four important elements: wrinkle-resistant fabrics, neutral palettes, timeless silhouettes, and just enough edge"

"A denim jacket is a fall classic, and this Wrangler coat nails the balance between structure and comfort. The touch of stretch means it moves with you, and the tailored waist makes it perfect for layering over sweaters or dresses without feeling stiff and restrictive. This button-down cardigan is a travel MVP: it's lightweight to pack, warm enough for cool mornings, and easy to layer. My favorite ways to style it include buttoning just the top for a relaxed, polished look"

Packing for fall requires versatile, adaptable pieces to handle crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and chilly evenings. Prioritize wrinkle-resistant fabrics, a neutral palette, timeless silhouettes, and a subtle edge to keep outfits fresh. Major retailers carry a range of options, including designer brands, that remove shipping hassles while offering variety. A curated top-15 selection emphasizes lightweight sweaters, comfortable walking boots, and practical accessories that unify multiple looks. Key item examples include a stretch denim jacket for layered structure and a button-down crewneck cardigan that packs light and layers easily for varied fall activities.
