First step to building a fall capsule wardrobe: Shop at Walmart.

1. Scoop Ultimate Crepe Suit Blazer

Scoop

First and foremost, my Walmart fall capsule wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without a blazer. I’ll always revert back to the classics, like this luxurious relaxed-yet-tailored silhouette. It has a luxe crepe fabric and single-button design that makes it read a little more casual than most, so pairing it with jeans or a skort is a must.

2. Scoop Ultimate Crepe Midi Skirt

Scoop

Don’t underestimate the power of a midi skirt, especially one that screams Office Siren. It’s feminine, it’s sophisticated, it’s chic, it’s versatile—seriously what is this skirt not? I really love how the front slit ups the sexiness factor and makes it all the more functional. In other words, yes, you’ll be able to walk freely in this skirt without needing to shuffle everywhere you go. For a casual look, try dressing it down with a tank top, jean jacket and knee-high boots that’ll peak out from under the skirt.

3. Time and Tru Trench Coat

Time and Tru

It wouldn’t be a fall capsule wardrobe without a trench coat, now would it? Time and Tru’s version offers a modern take on a timeless classic, complete with a wind-resistant polyester blend, four-way stretch and self-tie belt to snatch in your waistline. One buyer says, “This is a great jacket for transitional seasons. The light color would be great for spring, as well as winter. [It] looks expensive but is a fraction of the cost!”

4. Free Assembly Cozy Shrunken Sweater Tee

Free Assembly

A lightweight sweater is the most reliable piece in your fall wardrobe. This ribbed crewneck has an ultra-soft feel and is designed to effortlessly skim your figure. Wear it on its own as a pop of color or use it as a base for layering, either way it’ll look fab. It comes in a handful of colors, but I’m loving this burst of red. Best of all, it’s machine washable and will hold its shape over time, per the brand.

5. Time and Tru Ashlyn Shoulder Handbag

Time and Tru

Every wardrobe needs a trusty accessory—namely, a classic black bag. The Ashlyn shoulder bag is the ideal size for holding just the essentials, such as your keys, wallet, iPhone, sunglasses, lip gloss and a few other small goodies. The asymmetrical shape is a nice touch as it makes it feel fresh compared to other basic black bags, and the faux-leather fabric is easy to wipe clean, too, so you don’t have to worry about spots or spills over time.

6. Fayshow0 Denim Vest Shirt

Fayshow0

The one fall fashion trend that I’m most excited to embrace all season long is the denim-on-denim look, and this hybrid piece combines a high-stretch denim with the structured silhouette of a vest, making the most ideal shirt that I can’t wait to get my hands on. Who would’ve though a form-fitting denim top could be so comfortable and cute? From the flattering seams to the darling button-down front, everything about this and its hourglass shape is screaming style.

7. Time and Tru String Bow Ballet Flats

Time and Tru

Whoever said that capsule ballet flats need to be basic clearly hasn’t seen these yet. Yeah, they may be finished with a trendy metallic faux leather, but they boast all the traditional aspects that make them a staple, from a slip-on fit to a rounded square toe and a cute little bow. Here’s the best part: They have ample cushion, thanks to a memory foam insole for all-day comfort.

8. Zhenwei Ribbed Bodycon Dress

Zhenwei

I know what you’re thinking: Wow, this kind of looks like Skims. It hugs the body, flatters your figures and is made with a ribbed material that has a soft feel. The design incorporates a slight flare at the bottom of the hem, which gives it a mermaid fit that’s meant to give you that snatched, hourglass shape. Get this: The brand says it’s so comfortable and stretchy that it makes for an ideal maternity dress.

9. Jessica Simpson Freesia Wide-Leg Cuff Jeans

Free Assembly

From the trendy cuff to the statement flare hem, you can think of these as your stylish jeans. They’re made with 99 percent cotton and 1 percent elastane, so they’ll have a tiny bit of stretch to them but maintain that rigid denim feel. For an elevated look, opt for heeled boots and slim-fitting tops without much volume to balance out the proportions.

Size Range: 2 to 16

10. Scoop Cropped Bomber Jacket

Scoop

This is your sign to revamp your jacket collection, and Scoop’s faux patent leather bomber is giving off all the cool vibes you’ll want to exude this season. It has a cropped cut that’s meant to sit slightly higher on the hips, as well as a relaxed fit that will still look fab if you decide to size up for an oversize look.

11. Madden NYC Platform Lug Sole Loafers

Madden NYC

Do yourself a favor and snag these loafers if you know what’s good for you. The style is primed to be one of the most-worn shoes this fall, and these marry certain traditional aspects like the Penny bridge at the top of the foot with modern details, such as the platform lug-sole and metal hardware. Plus, they boast padded insoles intended to bring you all-day comfort. One shopper says, “[These are a] GREAT shoe for the money. [They] really do look like the high-end patent leather platform loafer, and they are comfortable!”

12. Efinny Casual Button-Down Shirt

Efinny

Prepare for this button-down shirt to work overtime in your closet. I’m a big fan of the oversize fit, which lends it to be worn a myriad of ways: as a cover-up, light jacket over a tank top and dress or as a blouse. In other words, you can call it a workhorse item that you know will see ample wear. It’s made from a breathable and comfortable polyester blend with 10 percent of spandex for a nice stretch.

13. Yemak Knit Cardigan Sweater

Yemak

This cardigan may be basic, yes, but a basic cardi is one of the most long-lasting, resilient items that’ll forever remain in style. It’s made with a soft and stretchy fabric that has a lightweight and breathable quality, making it a perfectly acceptable piece to wear in the below freezing office.

14. Sofia Jeans Melissa Flare Jeans

Sofia Jeans

If you know me, then you know that I’m a firm believer that every capsule wardrobe needs more than one pair of jeans, hence this flared pair. They’re perfectly chic, sophisticated and can seamlessly elevate your outfit with little to no effort. Not to mention, they’re made with a stretch denim and blend of cotton, polyester and spandex, so you can certainly wear ‘em all day without feeling like you need to unbutton. However, some buyers find that they run long, so that’s something to consider if you have short legs.

15. Classical Oval Sunglasses

SA106

I know people are leaning into the oval-shaped sunglasses trend, but I consider these to be far more timeless. It’s a minimalist beauty that boasts 100 percent UV protected polycarbonate lenses sturdy enough to shield your eyes from the sun. “Great find [at a] bargain price,” gushes one buyer. “They're made out of old school material that stands up to [wear and tear]. However, unlike the '90s, they're quite stylish.”

16. Scoop Sleeveless Shoulder Blouse

Scoop

I don’t know about you, but I struggle to find fun blouses, so as soon as I spotted this sleeveless beauty, I knew I had to have it. It has a mock neck design and pleated details that create this draping effect along the front, which can add volume and oomph for my fellow flat-chested girlies out there. I’m also intrigued by the silkiness of the satin, as I think it makes it a great piece to go to when you want to dress up or look a bit more elevated.

17. Lee Heritage Cropped Chore Denim Jacket

Lee

Caught the denim bug? Go for this cropped jacket. “You will love the fit,” says one buyer. “The sleeves are a little puffier than normal and crops at the right length.” All I hear is that it’s spacious enough to layer underneath, which is a cold weather must.

18. Yolanda Zula White Sneakers

Yolanda Zula

Ahh, the look, the smell and the feel of a new pair of crisp white sneakers. Is there anything better? They’re made from a durable PU leather that’s wear-resistant and they boast a non-slip grip, so prepare to wear these all-year long. According to one reviewer, you should order your usual size if you’re narrow footed, but anyone with wide feet might want to consider sizing up. “I love these tennis shoes! They run true to size, are extremely comfortable and offer arch support. I clean with a magic eraser and have not had trouble keeping them clean,” they add.

19. Joyspun Dot and Opaque Sheer Tights

Joyspun

The key to wearing your miniskirts and short dresses during the fall is with a pair of trusty tights, and this pack of two, which comes with sheer and opaque finishes, will do just the trick. Both have a high-rise fit and feature a roll-resistant waistband that is bound to impress anyone who struggles with the ever-constant tugs while wearing other tights. “[They are] easy to put on, don’t snag and are comfortable,” mentions a Walmart reviewer. “The dotted design adds a little pop to your basic black evening attire.”
