Picture this: The kids are tucked in bed in their Halloween pajamas after a long day at the pumpkin patch, you have a glass of red in hand, you’re playing your favorite fall playlist, and you’re baking some pumpkin muffins before settling into the couch under a cozy blanket for a viewing of Hocus Pocus. Is there anything better than that?
There are very few things in this world that make me as excited as fall does—more specifically, fall fashion. Although the season always seems fleeting (especially in the Midwest where truly anything can happen when it comes to weather), I always cherish those few precious weeks of perfectly crisp autumn air. So if you’re like me, and you’re more than ready for all the sweaters, boots, jeans, and overall coziness that you can dream of, this one is for you.
When I was curating this particular fall capsule wardrobe, I really wanted to focus on elevated, classic pieces while showcasing quintessential autumn earth tones. You’ll find lots of rich dark denim, gorgeous knits, varying textures, and timeless silhouettes. Scroll on to check out The Everymom’s 2024 fall capsule wardrobe, plus 12 (!!) styling ideas to get you started.
Why create a fall capsule wardrobe?
The goal of a capsule wardrobe is to be able to put any of these pieces together and instantly look effortlessly chic. You’ll no longer have to spend lots of time searching through your closet for pieces that “go together”—instead, you’ll take comfort in knowing that you can throw on any of your capsule pieces for an outfit that will have you feeling your best.
We’ve handpicked these pieces to include a solid foundation of neutral basics, and then mixed in some unique, on-trend items for when you want to make a statement. You’ll find a few of falls’s hottest trends, such as deep chocolate brown, animal print, and burgundy leather, alongside classic denim and athleisure pieces. The overall elevated-but-wearable aesthetic of this year’s capsule was curated so that you’ll always feel like a million bucks, without even having to think about it.

How to style the fall capsule wardrobe
I imagine that in styling this capsule, there will be endless options for layering—throw one of the sweaters over your shoulders, or try pairing the graphic sweatshirt with the midi dress. Add a jacket or vest to any of the options on chillier days. With 30 items, this is our largest capsule yet. This means more outfit combination options than ever! We wanted to give you plenty of accessory options to choose from, and make sure that you have some staple athleisure pieces as well.
I also wanted this capsule to feel effortlessly chic, no matter what combination you choose to wear. Pair a casual tee with trousers and sneakers, or go for classic with jeans and an oversized sweater. Mix things up by swapping your go-to jeans for a fun skirt, and upgrade your booties to an on-trend but timeless knee-high pair. These outfits work for whatever you have planned this fall, from school activities to fun weekend adventures.
