How to get started guide | Fall 2021
Hello friends! It’s here! I am beyond excited to share with you my 2021 Fall Capsule Wardrobe! For Fall’s feature, I granted subscribers the first look, with all access now open. Whether you’re subscribed or you’ve landed here from mere curiosity, I hope this post helps answer questions you may have about capsule wardrobes, it’s process, the benefits, and more so – be a source of inspiration when building your own this season!
This season I’ve decided to give you a closer look at my closet, provide more style inspiration, and spotlight the principal items that make up my season’s wear. September held a vast amount of inspiration, as I featured 22 items I believe essential for Fall. And as you might have guessed, each held purpose and served as a building block to a versatile Fall capsule! You’ll see all items (excluding shoes and accessories) featured last month, included below!
And lastly, (copied word for word from past posts) – By no means do I suggest grabbing all of these items. The intent in building a capsule is to start with the items you have beforehand and progress from there. (be sure to check out my updated ‘How to get started guide’ [linked above for download] to chat all the ins and outs of capsule building.)
If you have some of these items, yay! We’ve similar style! If you have similar items, go ahead and replace my example for your own. If you love my color palette, or any of the outfits pieced together, please use the inspiration! My hope in sharing this Fall capsule is to shed light on the benefits of a minimal wardrobe, see the versatility in each chosen piece, and ease any doubt in the ability to create your own!
Keeping my capsule format cohesive, I’ve decided to together outfit inspiration in graphic form. Many of these outfits will look familiar, as I’ve simply repurposed them from my September style edit. These are just a fraction of the looks one can create! Fee free to mix, match, get creative with all of it!
Last year, I made the decision to exclude shoes and accessories in my capsule shares. Instead of restricting myself to x amount, I feel more free and creative when I grant myself free rein. In the outfit inspiration below, I do include what I’d choose to wear with each look shown for style ideas.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s included in the 2021 Fall capsule, with links to the items. I’ve also linked similar items in lieu of if they’re no longer available.
