DRESSES
1 | Jenni Kayne Riviera Slip Dress
The perfect elegant slip dress for fall.
Pair with the Jenni Kayne Cardigan and Everlane Sneakers for day and the Jenni Kayne Mules for evening.

We love this long-sleeve poplin number with a muted striped print and ruffle shoulder trim.
Pair with the Everlane Sneakers and tie the Jenni Kayne Cardigan over your shoulders when it gets chilly.

Tuckernuck’s best-selling style offers versatility and comfort in a fun new fall pattern.
Pair with the Everlane Sneakers for day and Jenni Kayne Mules in the evening. The Jenni Kayne Cardigan can be worn over it for extra warmth.
4 | Mille Astrid Dress
Every capsule needs at least one piece with a little flair and she’s the one. The feminine floral print and the drawstring waist and tiered skirt are sure to flatter.
Pair with the Everlane Sneakers for a casual daytime stroll or Jenni Kayne Mules at night. If you get cold, drape the Jenni Kayne Cardigan over your shoulders.
PANTS
5 | Jenni Kayne Relaxed Trouser
These high-waisted, wide-leg textured raw silk pants are the epitome of style and comfort.
Pair with any of the shirts and Everlane sneakers for a casual daytime look.
Pair with the Maeve Blazer over any of the white or black tops and the Jenni Kayne Suede Mules in the evening.
6 | Madewell Perfect Vintage Jean
With a high waist and good stretch, these jeans are universally flattering and will keep you comfortable all day long,
Pair with any of the tops, but we especially love these with the J.Crew Vintage Tee under the Maeve Blazer or the Jenni Kayne Cardigan.
SHIRTS
7 | Cloth & Stone Chambray Buttondown
This closet staple is one of those pieces you’ll never regret.
Pair with the Jenni Kayne Trousers and Everlane Sneakers to roam the city.

We love the romantic vibe of this Madewell best seller.
Tuck into the Jenni Kayne Trousers for an elevated all-black look or pair with the Madewell Jeans.

A versatile tan-colored crewneck with slightly puffed sleeves.
Pair with either pants and wear solo or underneath the Jenni Kayne Cardigan or Maeve Blazer.
10 | KULE the Modern Long
Not just your average striped shirt. We love the straight cut of this KULE classic that is relaxed, but flattering.
Pair with either pants and the Everlane Sneakers for a casual daytime look.
11 | J.Crew Tissue Turtleneck
Another closet staple that we replenish annually. It’s opaque enough to wear on its own, but also light enough to layer.
Pair with either pants and toss on the Maeve Blazer or Jenni Kayne Cardigan if you get cold.
12 | J.Crew New Vintage Cotton V-Neck
Every capsule needs a classic white tee and this one fits the bill.
Wear solo with either pants and the Everlane Sneakers during the day or layer underneath the Maeve Blazer or Jenni Kayne Cardigan.

The internet is obsessed with this cozy cardigan, which garners five stars from its more than 1k reviewers.
No pairing advice needed; it goes with anything and everything.

Our favorite matching set of the season effortlessly combines comfort and style.
When not worn as a set, we love the Pullover with the Madewell Jeans and the J.Crew tee tucked in to the Culottes.
BLAZER

Hello, lovely. This is our top pick for an oversized blazer this season.

The Mod Traveller’s favorite backpack is chic, versatile, and practical. We love the built-in laptop sleeve, slip pocket for your phone, and small attached pouch for essentials. Wear her from morning ‘til evening with every outfit in this capsule.
20 | Gorjana Taner Hoops
These gold-plated Gorjana hoops complement this travel capsule’s neutral palette, and the subtle hammered finish adds some welcome texture.
