We know we say this a lot, but we are not really “trend people.” But the reason isn’t because we’re trying to sound cool or above it all. It’s really just that we want our clothes to be classic and chic enough to make us look very good for the very long haul.
Of course that also means we need to spend time finding pieces that are incredible quality. Every single one should have a certain sensibility that makes us sort of know in our soul that we’ll look good in them forever.
So, without further ado, here are the 13 pieces we found for fall that do exactly that. We’re convinced that each piece will fill a hole in your closet, some you don’t even know you have. We are frankly over the moon about all of them. We’re anxious to see if you feel the same.
1. This Cashmere Sweater That’s Become Our Favorite Fall Top. Period.
Quince Mongolian Cashmere Boatneck Sweater
Very few tops in our closet are as chic as this cashmere sweater. It’s a soft little superhero in that we can toss it on with jeans or tuck it into trousers and instantly look put together. Here’s how one of us styled it with our favorite black pants and casj sneaks.
We recently had the realization that how we look in this sweater is essentially how we want to look every day of fall. Elegant. Understated. And comfy. Always comfy.
Price: $80
2. These Pants We Didn’t Know We Needed
Madewell The Slim Straight Utility Pant
At first glance, these pants don’t look all that special, but on our bodies, the fit is incredibly special, particularly on curves. They glide over hips and thighs with no waist gap. Here you can see them on a real human front and back.
They size in plus, petite, and tall, and also come in curvy. They’re the ultra-flattering, casual pant we always wish we had hanging in our closet. And now we do. And we couldn’t be happier about it.
Price: $128
3. This Coziest Coat We Firmly Believe Every Woman Should Own In Fall
Splendid x @Cellajaneblog Icon Coat
The way the knit sleeve cups over your hands was enough to win us over, but the clean lines and slightly oversized fit makes this the chic, minimalist coat of our dreams. And it is excellent for layering. We love it in snow but it also comes in black and tan, and we have our eye on caviar, which is the sort of color we can picture wearing as we unlock the door to our independent bookshop, while fall leaves swirl around our booted feet. You know? That sort of thing.

Price: $168
4. This Timeless Cardi That Give You A Stunning Silhouette
Modern Citizen Eames Organic Cotton-Wool Button Cardigan
This is maybe the most waist-nipping sweater shape around, but it’s also so plainly gorgeous, we can wear it as a top and feel on top of the world. With wide-leg jeans and ballet flats, the silhouette is *chef’s kiss.*
Price: $168
5. These Most Magically Flattering Pants
Anthropologie The Colette Cropped Wide-Leg Pants by Maeve
We rattle on a lot about the fit of these pants, but they are genuinely better than any other cropped, wide-leg pant we’ve tried (and we have tried many). They have stretch and hold at the same time, smoothing out all our “bumps,” and while they come in every solid color we could want as well as denim, the gingham is a new release that we’re really excited about. We fully expect them to sell out, so be swift. With the above sweater especially, we’ve found our most comfortably chic fall uniform.
Price: $138
6. This Loafers That Make All Our Boring Outfits Into “Looks”
Quince Italian Leather Lug Sole Loafer
If you’ve been sleeping on a lug-sole shoe (a loafer in particular) we implore you to just try one on. It balances out your whole look, especially when you’re wearing any baggier pieces up top like an oversized blazer or loose button-down. But owning a pair in white instead of black means we get to look interesting and elevated even in our most basic jeans and tee. It’s still classic but with a twist, and it’s been a revelation in our (sometimes snoozy) wardrobe.
7. This Dreamy Cowl Neck Top That Makes Everything Look Luxury
Splendid x @Cellajaneblog Cowl Neck Sweater
Do we need to say words about this sweater? The shape is to die dahhhling. It’s the sophisticated piece that does all the work for us. Naturally, it also comes in white and tan, and we currently have all 3 colors in our cart. Thank god we have a code, but help!

Price: $98
8. These 90s Jeans That Are So Comfortable They're All We Want To Wear
J.Crew Factory '90s Vintage Baggy Jean
If you told us our favorite jeans we bought this fall would be from J.Crew Factory, we’d have laughed you out of the room. For classic, affordable knits and great-fitting work pants? Sure. But jeans. How? All we can say is these jeans are so easy and comfortable and flattering, we find ourselves reaching for them anytime they’re not in the laundry basket. Here’s proof from this morning.
The cherry on top, of course, is that they cost 1/3 of what similar styles do.
Price: $69.50
9. This Superb-Fitting Turtleneck
We The Free Good Good Turtleneck
Behold the base layer turtleneck that makes all our fall outfits sing. The material gives us such a nice, smooth shape. The colors are all lovely. Every one. And when layered under the below blazer, we feel like Meg Ryan herself, ready to stroll right off the screen of a 90s rom-com.
Price: $38
10. This Blazer We’ve Lusted After in Every Autumnal Rom Com
Avec Les Filles Hourglass Double-Breasted Blazer
And here is that fantasy blazer. The plaid is timeless and perfect, of course. But the real star is the fit. So sleek and flattering, and it sizes in petite and plus. We wear it over a fitted tee (or turtleneck), long, loose-fit jeans and sneaks, and we honestly have never felt smarter (in the Brit sense of the word).
Price: $188
11. These Beautiful Fall Boots That Have Filled A Hole In Our Closet
Nisolo Ana Go-To Heeled Chelsea Boot
Nisolo makes the comfiest boots with supportive block-heels in gorgeous colors that match everything. These boots have become a staple in our closet all chilly months of the year. Slip them on with #2 on this list and a whisper soft scarf, and trust us when we say, you’ll feel like you’ve mastered clothes.
We’ve actually loved so many of Nisolo’s shoes that we asked the brand for a code, and they were kind enough to give us 20% off to give to you. So use the code CANDIDLY20.
Price: $250
12. This Audrey Hepburn Sweater That Matches Everything
We conclude with something that happens to be very pretty and easy and speaks to our desire to look elegant with almost zero effort. The detail on this sweater means we get a surprising number of compliments every time we wear it, but the fact that it’s black and tan means it also matches everything. We believe you call it lazy-chic. And we live for it.
Price: $130
13. Bonus: The Accessories
This Essential Silky Cashmere Scarf
Completes every fall outfit to perfection. Again, we struggle to pick just one color.
This Effortless Sling Bag That Makes Outfits 17X More Chic
This gorj bag is a part of your outfit, and it’s half the price of similar quality styles out there.
This Most Luxurious Lifetime Work Bag
We found THE ONE, my friends. It’s an investment, but you will adore it for eternity.
The Fall Chain We Wear Everyday
Jusssst statement enough. Jussssst understated enough.
