Fall is almost here, and you might be thinking about freshening up your wardrobe. Adding a few trendy pieces can keep your style current and fun! Today, let’s talk about the Tan Shades trend and how to build a capsule wardrobe around it. I’ll show you nine easy looks to incorporate into your daily outfits.
First, a quick refresher on capsule wardrobes: they are all about versatility. A capsule wardrobe consists of pieces that mix and match easily, working well with what you already have. Typically, it includes anywhere from 10 to 30 well-coordinated items, including accessories, to make your closet multifunctional. The idea is to take runway trends and turn them into looks you can wear beyond Fashion Week.
Tops
Let’s start with tops. A capelet style blouse in a neutral shade fits perfectly with both pants and skirts while helping to create a slimmer waistline. Another chic option is a crisp white tie-neck blouse that can be dressed up or down effortlessly. For the tan trend, go for a lighter, multifunctional sweater that looks great under a blazer or paired with jeans.
Bottoms
This season offers a variety of pant styles, from wide-leg to skinny jeans. Incorporate low-key pinstripe pants in a flattering navy blue, tan wide-leg trousers, and a classic pencil skirt. These pieces are timeless and versatile.
Dresses
If a full-on cape dress isn’t your style, try a capelet dress. It offers a hint of the trend without being too dramatic. Another option is a structured gray dress with ruffles on the hem—stylish but not overwhelming, making it suitable for various occasions.
Coats and Blazers
Two major coat trends this fall are shearling or fur coats and navy military-style coats. To make a fur or shearling coat a lasting piece, choose a neutral color like black in a classic cut. For the velvet trend, a black velvet blazer is a flexible and trendy choice that fits many outfits.
Shoes
This season’s shoe trends include black straps and embellishments. Ankle strap shoes are stylish without being too trendy. A classic pair of flats with a jeweled embellishment adds visual interest and aligns with the season’s brooch trend. Leopard print pumps or flats can also serve as a stylish neutral.
Accessories
Adding unique accessories is key for this fall. Trends include long scarves, leather gloves, pearls, brooches, chokers, fur, and crossbody bags. Embrace texture with chunky necklaces, tasseled earrings, and soft fur in bright tones for a chic look.
