Fall is by far my favorite season because of the splendor that unveils itself in nature and in my wardrobe. People might complain about the chill in the air and the shorter days but I live for everything Fall, especially when Connecticut displays all that gorgeous fall foliage I get to style along with. Nothing beats the beauty of yellow, orange and red leaves like the combination of chic outfits as nature itself turns into a stunning masterpiece. Fall reminds me to let go of the summer feels and dive into my closet for 15 timeless Fall fashion must haves for WELLthy Moms like myself.

Having lived in the North East most of my twenty-seven years in United States, I have rounded the 15 Timeless Fall Fashion Must Haves For WELLthy Moms that have helped me brave all the beautiful changes in style. This is a list of the season’s most timeless pieces for us WELLthy Moms to keep our seasonal wardrobe down to the basics or for some creative pieces to add to our collection.

1. A jacket to withstand the unexpected Fall weather. Fall weather in the northeast can be pretty erratic. One day you are enjoying the gorgeous 60 degree weather and the next day you wake up to a north’eater storm warning. Getting dressed is significantly more difficult but this quilted jacket can withstand it all with long sleeves with zip cuffs, front metal zip pockets and snap button closure to give you a weatherproof finish that is super practical, but stylish too.
2. A basic coatigan (coat+cardigan). A coatigan is the perfect item to throw-over any outfit when you need some extra warmth or to cover your shoulders. Find one that is the ultimate everyday layering piece and comes in a variety of neutrals. Camel is one of my favorite neutral and now that leopard print is trending, I am loving the combination and it’s my new go to casual chic style.
3. A basic long sleeve tee. A simple, soft, long sleeve tee is the kind of shirt you’ll live in once the weather gets cooler. The relaxed fit and soft cotton of this one will really make you want to wear it everyday. When it comes to basics, a boatneck tee is essential. The loose-fitting cut is great for everyday wear and pairs well with nearly all your summer faves for an ultra low-effort yet stylish look.
4. A classic chic cashmere crewneck. A good cashmere sweater is lightweight, warm, and feels super soft. Banana Republic’s cashmere crew is a timeless cut with a variety of neutral color choices, and at under $80, it’s cheaper than most cashmere sweaters you will find of the same quality.
5. A classic long sleeve turtleneck. A classic turtleneck t-shirt looks great layered under sweaters, jumpsuits, or on its own with a pair of jeans. The Banana Republic Threadsoft jersey is made with a special blend of Lenzing Modal®, sourced from European beechwood trees, harvested from sustainably managed forests. I absolutely love the lightweight, ultra soft and breathable feel when I put it on.
6. A comfortable pair of Ankle Booties. I swear these are the ONLY type of shoes I reach for during this time of year. They pair great with jeans, leggings, AND skirts. They can be casual enough for class or you can dress them up for a nice dinner or a night out. I always keep a pair of tan booties and a pair of black ones to match my fall outfits.
7. A pair of stylish jeans. As we learned from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, a good pair of jeans can take you a long way. Fall is the perfect weather for jeans, not to mention how amazing they look with ankle booties. Jeans pair well with nearly any top and can easily transition from day to night. I am particularly fond of Banana Republic’s Girlfriend Light Wash Jean fit with a cleaned up and contemporary silhouette. The tailored girlfriend leg creates a flattering fit that is both stylish and comfortable and made with a special cotton-blend denim engineered for a super soft feel with extra stretch for all-day comfort.
8. A favorite summer dress that goes great with a jacket or cardigan. A summer dress looks great (and seasonally appropriate) paired with booties or ballet flats and a jacket or cardigan. The simple flower pattern on this Banana Republic dress makes it an easy transition piece from warm to cold weather.
9. A blanket scarf to keep you bundled up. Once fall arrives, I live in scarves. Not only do they keep me warm, but they add some chic to an otherwise basic outfit. The oversized blanket scarf is one of my favorite styles for its sheer size. This one is one of my favorite neutral gray that matches well with the typical fall palette of neutrals.
10. A basic knit hat for cold days. People seem to love knit hats in the fall, myself included. This particular JCrew hat with faux fur pom-pom has a simple fit that is universally flattering, soft, and comes in a bunch of colors. They are great for keeping your ears and head warm on cold fall days, plus they add an effortlessly chic look to any outfit.
11. A pair of slip on sneakers. This pair of Sperry white sneakers I purchased is so versatile and can be paired with anything from dress to jeans. These easy-on, go-to platform slip-ons somehow manage to make Fall days even better. The memory foam foot bed for comfort and arch support feels as good as it sounds with the moisture-wicking Dri-Lex® material that keeps feet cool and dry.
12. A stylish trench coat. Make any outfit effortlessly chic with this sleek trench coat. It grazes just above the knee, a great length for pairing with dresses and jeans alike. The ever-popular trench coat, made in 100% cotton from the world-renowned Limonta mill in Italy, and finished with a water-resistant coating so you’re always ready for wet weather.
13. A denim jacket. A blue jean jacket is one of the most versatile items you can have in your closet. Whether you’re layering it over a spring dress or crafting your own combination outfit, it’s hard to go wrong. Year after year I keep coming back to Banana Republic’s classic jacket thanks to its 100% cotton, cone denim for the authentic look and feel I have grown to love.
14. The classic blazer. Whether you’re looking add a little edge to an otherwise casual outfit or just want to polish off your Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm best, a blazer works wonders. I am fan of this one from Banana Republic made in Italy by renowned Italian Mill Marzotto with the innovative fabric formulated with extra stretch for all-day comfort and it is machine washable for exceptionally easy care.
15. A leather tote. A no-nonsense Kate Spade tote effortlessly accompanies any outfit and gives you optimal room for anything and everything you may need to carry. The Cameron Street Medium Harmony tote is inspired by go-anywhere style and constructed of chic but durable cross-hatched leather–a signature of the beloved cameron street collection–This quintessential carryall makes my everyday commute feel a little more upscale.
