Autumn Palette: Outfit Completers
You probably have a few holes in your closet (we all do).
You might not be able to put your finger on it; but I’m sure you’ve felt it 👀.
You go to put on the jeans, the blazer, the boots, and have the perfect accessories, but no tops that go with it.
Or maybe you have a great base look, but need a throw-on layering piece to keep you warm!
This blog is going to help you address the pain points that make getting dressed a hassle.
We’ve gathered the workhorse pieces that will make your Fall Wardrobe stretch farther, and make it easier to put together outfits you’ll actually wear.
Plus they’re all in your best colors! We have outfit completing items and styling ideas for Soft Autumns, Warm Autumns, and Deep Autumns 🙌

Base Layers for Autumns ✨
Investing in quality base layers in some of your best colors is gonna help you move through this Fall a lot easier this time around.
Think tanks, camis, tees, light-weight long sleeves.
Really, anything you can comfortably layer under those heavier pieces in your outfit.
It’s easy to overlook your basics drawer, especially if it’s full of those old faithfuls.
The right tank or cami, along with other base layers, are more than just throw-ons. If you invest in the right one, these workhorse pieces are what you’ll reach for to add even more dimension to your outfits (no matter the season). You can easily put them under cardigans, shackets, blazers, or even under your favorite springy/summery dress to make it more fall-appropriate.
Who says your base layers have to be plain old cotton? We’ve gathered some satin options, ones with lace trims, and some with more sophisticated shapes:👇
Versatile Third Layers for Autumn Palettes ✨
Love looking put together without looking like you tried? You need a go-to versatile third layer: a blazer, cardigan, shacket, denim jacket, etc. That piece you can pop on at the last second and it totally elevates the whole look!

Fall is the time where we lean into our best neutrals (and sometimes we get trapped there) but don’t be afraid to play with your power colors as well, Autumns!
Here’s some fun 3rd layers and ways you can mix up color combos:👇

Socks for Autumn Palettes✨
Okay, give us a second to explain ☝😂. Besides keeping your toes warm, the style of socks you wear determines how comfortable and functional your shoes are. Have you ever worn too thick of a sock in your boots? It gets uncomfy QUICK.
Here’s some of our top picks and what shoes you might want to pair them with: 👇
Want to add a pop of personality to your mule or flat? Sheer socks add a touch of feminine flair! Plus, they help cut back on moisture and those annoying ankle cuts.
Make sneakers feel a little less… sneaker-y. A ruffle sock is fun alternative to the traditional sock. It’s a fun way to ease into the tall sock trend (for all the millennials out there 😉)
Speaking of tall socks… A good trouser sock is a MUST, for boots! A thinner one will keep your legs from rubbing without adding bulk and heat!
