Smart-Casual Fall Mini Capsule Wardrobe

Share This!

Sweaters are an easy piece to style in the fall season and are so versatile. You can wear them casually with jeans or pants and dress them up with skirts.

I took 3 sweaters in neutral colors from my own closet to create a Smart-Casual mini capsule! These are classic styles that can be styled in many outfits, not just smart-casual, but also everyday casual and dressy. Just add your bottoms, shoes and layers and you are good to go! I shared this sweater outfit mix and match today on my Instagram @classyyettrendy. Follow along on @classyyettrendy for more outfit ideas and see what I wear from my capsule wardrobe!

I just added the Quince Cashmere Fisherman Sweater in “Ivory” (only $99.90!) and the Quince Mongolian Cashmere Sweater in “Oatmeal” (only $50!) to my wardrobe and I couldn’t be happier! I have been looking for a fisherman-style sweater and a cool tone light brown sweater for a while, so when Quince reached out to me to see if I wanted to try any of their sweaters in a collaboration, I couldn’t believe they had the sweaters I was looking for!!! These sweaters are beautiful and I couldn’t be more pleased! Even though this post is not sponsored, these Quince sweaters were kindly gifted to me. Both sweaters are very soft and they are very low priced to be quality cashmere!

What Is Smart-Casual Style?

Smart Casual is a blend of two styles. The “Smart” is refers to business workwear style and the “Casual” refers to everyday, comfortable style. Smart Casual gives you more flexibility with your outfits and is suitable to wear more places that just the workplace.

Smart Casual style includes well-fitted, neat and office-appropriate pieces that are slightly less formal than a business-casual or business-professional dress code. Smart casual is much more elevated and put-together than just casual wear.

Where Can I Wear Smart-Casual Outfits?

You can wear Smart Casual style mostly anywhere! Here are a few places to wear your outfits:

• Workplace – Some workplaces allow smart casual in their dress code, so check to see if you can wear smart casual to your workplace.
• Events – like luncheons, conferences or meetings.
• Weddings and Graduations
• Shopping
• Restaurants
