I gravitate toward minimalism as the foundation of my closet. It makes getting dressed feel effortless, so I rarely have “nothing to wear” days since everything I have is easy to mix and match, and then I can add in fun statement pieces from there.
When it comes to designers who do minimalism best, I think of Calvin Klein, Jil Sander, Khaite, The Row, and Toteme. I also have a mental note of brands I like browsing that often cater to this style: Almina Concept, Banana Republic, Camper, Carel, Cou Cou, Gap, J.Crew, Leset, Rue Sophie, St. Agni, and Vagabond.
For wardrobe staples, my most-worn items for fall include boatneck T-shirts, capris, cardigans, cashmere sweaters, kitten heels, knee-high boots, knee-length skirts, slip dresses, and trench coats. I’m also eyeing pleated skirts, faux-fur coats, and high V-necks. Below, shop these and more chic pieces.
