The start of a new fashion season is undoubtedly exciting, but it can also be extremely overwhelming. Recently, I’ve found myself mystified at what exactly I want to buy for fall—with so many new trends, it’s hard to know where to begin. If there’s anything I’ve learned as a shopping writer, though, it’s the importance of having basics you can rely on. That’s why I reached out to expert stylist Marina Ingvarsson, who spilled the tea on her must-have capsule wardrobe staples for fall.
From cozy sweaters to celeb-loved denim styles, Ingvarsson’s picks are the perfect blend of classic and trendy. After she gave me some much-needed shopping inspo, I headed straight to Amazon, where I found corresponding styles starting at just $20. Check out everything you need to start building your own fall capsule wardrobe, below.

If getting dressed was like solving a puzzle, then a solid-colored bodysuit or T-shirt would make the perfect starting piece. “A versatile foundation for any look, the basic tee or bodysuit is a must-have for layering or wearing alone,” Ingvarsson said. Give the theory a go with this sleeveless bodysuit while it’s on sale for just $15.
Chunky Sweater: Prinbara Oversized Crewneck Sweater

I’m all about the comfy vibes, so I was obviously elated to learn that chunky sweaters are trending this fall. As Ingvarsson said, “They add cozy warmth and texture while still looking stylish.” This season, snuggle up in this oversized knit, which is on sale for less than $30.
Bomber Jacket: Automet Oversized Bomber Jacket
Amazon
Although I usually keep my looks simple, I do love spicing things up with an edgier piece, and wearing a boxy bomber jacket is the perfect way to do that. Worn by the likes of Elsa Hosk and Katie Holmes, the ageless style “adds a cool, effortless vibe,” according to Ingvarsson. Try the supermodel-loved trend yourself with this chic $37 option from Amazon.
Long Trench Coat: Makkrom Double-Breasted Long Trench Coat

Since we’re not busting out puffer jackets just yet, a timeless trench is “ideal for transitional weather,” Ingvarsson said. According to the style expert, the classic silhouette “adds sophistication to any outfit.” To instantly elevate any look, snag this on-sale trench coat that also comes in black, green, and white.
Midi Skirt: Zeagoo Satin Midi Skirt
Amazon
A great jeans-alternative, midi skirts are a fall must-have. Luckily, this elegant satin option is on sale for just $27. Per Ingvarsson’s recommendation, pair the style with a chunky sweater or basic tee for a “chic, balanced look.”
Barrel Jeans: Sidefeel Barrel Jeans
Amazon
Given that everyone from Jessica Alba to Julianne Moore has sported barrel jeans, I wasn’t surprised to see that they’re also favored by Ingvarsson, who calls the style “perfect for fall.” This mid-rise pair, which a shopper called “roomy, stretchy, [and] so comfortable,” is on sale for under $40.
Loafers: The Drop Ryan Lug-Sole Loafers
Amazon
I can’t believe a style that was once a part of my school uniform is now en vogue. That being said, I admittedly can’t get enough of the loafer trend. According to Ingvarsson, the timeless shoe is a “classic” go-to footwear option for fall. Stick to the basics with these quintessential loafers from The Drop, available for $60.
Oversized Bag: Hoxis Vegan Leather Tote Bag
Amazon
I’m constantly stuffing my laptop, a book, and tons of snacks into my tote bags, so I was pleased to see that an oversized bag is another staple Ingvarsson considers a must-have this season. As the stylist pointed out, a roomy bag “holds all your essentials while making a statement” and can tie together an entire look. Grab this faux leather option while it’s on sale for under $30.
