A Week Of Fall Outfits Using Wardrobe Staples

Share This!

Do you need a few outfit ideas to get you through the week? I created 7 outfits, an outfit for each day of the week, using several wardrobe staples!

What Are Wardrobe Staples?

Wardrobe staples are versatile pieces that you can wear in different outfits and can easily mix and match with one another. They are classic and timeless basics that never go out of style. I often refer to wardrobe staples here on Classy Yet Trendy as “core closet essentials“, since they are considered to be essential core building blocks of a capsule wardrobe!

You can easily add trendy pieces to wardrobe basics to create fresh and different outfits, like in the outfits below!

Do you need to know what wardrobe staples to have in your closet?

Simplified Style - A Year-Round Core Closet Essentials Capsule Wardrobe 2020 400X600

The Outfits

Mostly all of the pieces in these outfits are in my own closet and from my own Fall Capsule Wardrobe! I also included my jewelry, handbags and a few shades of lipstick that I wear often! To recreate these outfits for yourself, you don’t have to have these exact pieces. You can use similar pieces in your closet that you already have!

Outfit #1

I started creating this outfit by first choosing this graphic tee, then built the outfit around it. Any graphic tee in any color will work in this outfit since the other pieces in this outfit are neutral colors. To complete the outfit, I added this Gold CZ Bezel Necklace, these Black Jealous Games Sunglasses, this Bobbi Brown Lipstick in the “pink nude” color and this YSL Lou Camera Bag in the “dark beige” color (similar style budget buy on Amazon).

The Wardrobe Staples:

neutral color cardigan / jeans (exact) (similar) / neutral color ankle boots

This is a French-inspired outfit! These gold hoop pearl drop earrings, Mac Lipstick in the “velvet teddy” color and Chanel Single Classic Flap Bag (from Fashionphile preloved bags) (also love this Chanel-inspired bag for $38!) completes the look.

The Wardrobe Staples:

neutral color sweater “cool beige” color / black ankle pants my favorite pants! / trench coat (similar)

Outfit #4

For this outfit, you could use all wardrobe staples in your closet! I included this black puff sleeve tee, but you could use a regular black tee instead. Same for the sneakers, which are Veja Campo Sneakers, but you could use solid white casual sneakers instead. I included minimal Gold Halo CZ Stud Earrings and this Gold Halo Necklace, this Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in the “pillow talk” color and this Coach Tabby Bag.

The Wardrobe Staples:

gray jeans / black leather jacket

Outfit #5

In this outfit, the white short sleeve tee, dark wash jeans and black loafers (love these Gucci-inspired style loafers) are all wardrobe staples and I added this Gray Sweater Blazer, which also could be a wardrobe staple because of the neutral color and classic styling. See below for the outfit details.

The Wardrobe Staples:

white tee / jeans one of my most favorite! / black loafers (exact) (similar)

In this outfit, the chambray shirt is a layer over the gray tee. You can front tuck the gray tee in the black jeans, then wear the chambray shirt open over the tee.

Outfit #7

In this outfit, I included the popular and trending Juliette Sweater Blazer. This one is longer than the gray Eloise style in outfit #5 and is in the “hthr khaki” color, which isn’t camel, but is a gorgeous khaki color. For those of us who cannot wear camel, this color is beautiful. See this Juliette Sweater Blazer in the “hthr khaki” color where I wear it in this blog post, “4 Ways To Wear A Coatigan“. I included my favorite white button-down shirt, Grayson’s Hero Cozy Cotton White Shirt. Get $25 off your order at grayson.com with my code “LEANNEBLACKMON“!

A Bit Of Inspiration For Your Day:

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:4-7

  1. Thanks for these ideas! I always feel so stuck in the morning and your plans have been a big help as I return to the office.

  2. Thanks. Nicely done. You took basic looks I already have in my closet and raised them up an enormous style notch! By detailing the jewelry, shoes, and accessories that could work with each outfit you helped me see how to pull it together and elevate my go-to looks.

  3. Oh wow! You have taken some of my core staples and made them pop with the accessories. Loved the post!

  4. This was a great post!!!
    Love that you’re using staples; I have most of these pieces and will refer to these outfits all season ????????
