My 29-Piece Classic Casual Fall 2024 Capsule Wardrobe & 10 Outfits + [VIDEO]
See everything in my own Fall 2024 capsule wardrobe, which includes tops, bottoms, layers and shoes, in mostly neutral colors and minimalist, classic styles. My capsule wardrobe is based on the Simplified Style®: Classic Casual Capsule Wardrobe, plus a few trending items for the season. I’m showing everything in my own personal capsule wardrobe in my closet.
For those of you that follow the Classy Yet Trendy blog, you know that I have been using a capsule wardrobe in my closet for several years. I absolutely love using a capsule wardrobe every season, as it helps me get dressed quickly and easily everyday. A capsule wardrobe is a small set of clothes and shoes, which all mix and match, so you can have dozens of outfit combinations ready to wear. Using a capsule wardrobe lets you focus on more important things in your life and takes the stress away from getting dressed.
My full-time job is working at home creating capsule wardrobes and content on Classy Yet Trendy. Since I work at home, I like to wear elevated-casual styles like jeans, pants, tops and layers. Because the fall season is mild and our temperatures can vary between warm and cool, I usually wear tops with light layers and lightweight shoes.
I posted this video on Instagram showing each piece in my fall capsule wardrobe! Follow me on my Instagram @classyyettrendy for more videos, outfit ideas and styled outfits!
I created my capsule wardrobe for my closet based on the Simplified Style®: Classic Casual – A Year-Round Foundation Capsule Wardrobe and added a few trending items for the season. In Simplified Style®, there are 400+ outfit combinations for the entire year, capsules for all seasons, outfit calendars and more!

My Color Palette
For this Fall 2024 season, I chose Black as the base color for my capsule wardrobe. I chose black as my own personal preference, so if you are referencing this post to create your capsule wardrobe for the season, feel free to use your favorite neutral base color (other base colors can be navy, gray, brown, etc).
The capsule wardrobes I share from my own closet every season are clothes that I have in my own closet and is my personal style. Everyone has their own personal style as well as color preference in clothes and may be based on the weather where you live, so your wardrobe may be different from mine. Feel free to use my capsule wardrobes here on the blog as inspiration for creating your own! While I don’t have a guide of outfits for my own personal capsule wardrobes, feel free to follow along on my Instagram account @classyyettrendy, where I share outfits I wear from my capsule wardrobe throughout the season, as well as outfit collages and outfit ideas!
Minimalist Style
My favorite styles are ones that are classic, simple and minimalist. I prefer to wear mostly solid, neutral colors and rarely wear patterns. I do enjoy wearing patterns , (my favorite is stripes) and sometimes, like florals, dots, etc, but I wear solid colors more, so those are the ones I mainly include in my capsule wardrobes.
Since my favorite colors are mostly neutrals and blue, I chose those colors primarily for my color palette! This season, I also added olive green. My favorite accent colors are ones influenced by nature: blue and green!
If you need a complete wardrobe for the season, then you may enjoy using one of my “ready to wear” capsule wardrobes in other styles available in the Capsule Wardrobe Store!
What Is My Personal Style?
My first and foremost favorite style is “Classic” with a bit of “French Minimalist” style, which may include solid color tees, button-down shirts, casual pants, jeans, cardigans, denim jackets, loafers and flats. What is “classic” style? Classic style includes timeless designs that stand the test of time, never go out of fashion and are mostly solid, neutral colors. I love the simplicity of minimalist, classic styles and I enjoy wearing this style the most. I gravitate toward colors found in nature, like blue and green.
How Did I Create This Capsule Wardrobe?
I created my own capsule wardrobe for my closet based on my best-selling minimalist foundation capsule collection, Simplified Style®: Classic Casual Capsule Wardrobe. I also followed the 4 steps in my blog post, How To Start A Capsule Wardrobe: An Easy 4-Step Visual Guide to create my capsule.

A Bit Of Inspiration For Your Day:
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 4:5-7
I love the idea of a capsule wardrobe, but I’ve never managed to pull one together. I’m curious, do you ultimately end up with four capsule wardrobes (one per season), or do pieces cross seasons? Do you hang on to the same wardrobes across years (until things wear out), or do you swap out more often?
Kathryn,
When I create my capsule wardrobes, I pull my foundation pieces from my closet, plus any trending pieces that are popular for the season. If I buy anything, I like to pick pieces that will last several seasons.
Gorgeous pieces Leanne!
Re your Vivaia print shoes are they practical and comfortable to walk/wear all day or are they more a fashion shoes?
They are very comfortable! I have worn them twice where I walked all day and had no problems. 😀❤️
Leanne- This is so helpful thank you for being the inspiration to so many! Your tips for a capsule closet has helped me immensely in tossing (donating) bags of unworn and over shopped clothes. I strive to get my closet to look as minimalist as yours. You’ve helped me realize I was stuck in “shopper” mode when I didn’t need a thing to add to my wardrobe. Love the capsule idea that finally is working for me. Thanks and blessings! Trying to live by:“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” JB
