Timeless Fall Style With Madewell

Blog

Madewell has always been known for their classic, timeless style, and their latest Fall collection is no different. Many of the silhouettes have been updated to keep the pieces modern (hello barrel denim), but overall, the collection is full of those classic foundational pieces in timeless colors that you will want to for your Fall wardrobe, especially if you’re someone that loves to create a capsule wardrobe.

Now, a capsule wardrobe doesn’t have to be boring, but it should consist of pieces that are high quality, seasonally appropriate, and versatile enough to be able to be worn in many different combinations and for various situations. The color palette can vary, but I’d suggest erring on the neutral side (think black, navy, creams, taupes, browns, and gray), and adding in additional color and texture via your shoes, jewelry, and other accessories.

If you’re wondering what pieces to add for Fall, here’s an easy list to help you get started with (just decide on a color palette of 3-5 shades so that what you have is cohesive):

Classic Button Down Shirt
Lightweight Knit Cardigan
Leather Jacket
1-2 pairs of denim
Blazers
Trench Coat
Long-sleeve Crewneck Tee
Midi Skirt
Denim Jacket
Shirt Dress
Leather or Suede Ankle Boots
Statement Bag
Classic Gold Jewelry
Slouchy Trouser
Casual Shoe (Loafers or Trainers)

Trends will come and go, but Madewell’s Fall collection is filled with timeless pieces that you can wear no matter what your style is, and those are the things that I think that you absolutely need for your Fall wardrobe.
