10 Fall Classics

Here are some classic pieces that are always in need! Make sure that you have any of these key items to make that outfit complete!

-Fitted Jacket
A great tailored jacket is fitted to show off feminine curves, not a baggy masculine style. A Fitted jacket will pair with everything from work trousers to jeans.

-White Shirt
Sounds basic, but a crisp, long-sleeve white shirt is a building block of your fall wardrobe.

-Black Pantsuit
A solid black pantsuit is the most flattering (head-to-toe monochromatic color) and the most classic. Look for a fabric with drape -- nothing too stiff or shiny -- preferably in wool (or wool with some stretch for comfort).

-Turtleneck
Stick with cozy, touchable materials for your turtleneck sweater because anything itchy or scratchy is unbearable on your sensitive neck area.

-Neutral Coat
There's a reason timeless fashion pieces retain their popularity: they go with most things in your closet and transcend the trends. The neutral coat -- especially in a camel color -- is an enduring fall classic because it has so many possibilities.

-Plaid
Plaid -- a perennial menswear print favorite -- translates very well to trousers, coats and jackets. Pair with everything from a solid shirt to a twinset.

-Tall Boots
Knee-high boots make great sense for fall because they let you get more wear out of everything from skinny jeans to miniskirts.

-Pearls
Feminine pearls are the perfect trend-proof accessory to compliment the more structured styles of fall. Wear gray pearls with black for a sexy tonal look; or choose layers of creamy white pearls worn with a simple black sheath dress for a perfect cocktail dress look.

-Sheath Dress
Match a sheath with a hem-length coat or wear it on its own with pumps; anyway you wear the classic, knee-length sheath dress it's a winner.

-Large Leather Bag
The leather bag doesn't have to be boring -- there are patent, exotic skins, quilting, bold hardware, bright colors and much more -- but the most classic looks have a ladylike feel to them and understated luxury.
