What You Need to Build a Fall Capsule Wardrobe

Dressing for fall can feel like a guessing game. One minute it's sweater weather, the next you're peeling off layers by noon. The trick to keeping your mornings stress-free? A capsule wardrobe. 

By curating a lineup of high-quality pieces that you can mix, match, and layer, you'll always have something that works, regardless of the weather. Lucky for you, Garbarini has all the essentials to make getting dressed the easiest part of your day. 

Here's your guide to building the ultimate fall 2025 capsule wardrobe.

Outerwear

Faux Fur Coat

Look the definition of cold-weather chic in the Seventy Faux Fur coat. With its plush texture and timeless silhouette, it adds instant polish to any outfit while keeping you warm and cozy. The sash tie waist creates a flattering shape, and the button-front closure gives it that classic tailored finish. Style it over jeans and boots for everyday sophistication or layer it over a sleek dress for an elevated evening look. Either way, this coat brings effortless glamour to your fall capsule wardrobe.

Wool Robe Coat

If there's a chilly morning and even colder evening in the forecast, you can make a statement in the Pinko Carrube Cappotto Panno. This long robe coat has all the drama of sweeping, sculptural outerwear and perfectly blends elegance and sustainability. The double-breasted fastening and lapel collar bring classic structure, while strap details at the sleeves keep it fresh. Throw it over anything from cocktail dresses to everyday denim.

Utility Jacket

Free People's Renaux Officer Jacket is a utility-inspired coat that doesn't skimp on sophistication. Designed in a timeless herringbone with flap pockets, button cuffs, and a cinching back strap, it offers structure with a touch of ease. The collared neckline and tailored cut elevate it beyond casual, making it a versatile piece you can wear to the office or on the weekend. Pair it with wide-leg trousers and loafers for a polished look, or with slim denim and boots for a casual, off-duty vibe. If it gets a little warm out, just roll up the sleeves!

Mid-Length Wrap Coat

Relaxed yet refined, the Soia And Kyo Bridgette Coat hits that sweet spot between cozy and chic. Crafted from double-face wool and finished with hand-sewn seams, it has a fluid drape that moves effortlessly with you. The cascade collar and tie belt let you play with structure—cinch it in for a sleek silhouette or wear it open for laid-back ease. Slip it over knits and tailored pants for an everyday look that feels instantly elevated.

Oversized Wool Coat

The Ganni Double Face Wool Coat is made for bold, layered styling. Falling below the calf with broad sculpted sleeves, it has an architectural silhouette that turns heads. The statement collar and asymmetrical closures push it into modern territory, while the recycled wool blend makes it both responsible and refined. Whether you wear it open over chunky knits or buttoned for a dramatic finish, this coat is your shortcut to looking effortlessly cool.

Handbags

Oversized Slouchy Shoulder Bag

Go big or go home. The Ganni Hobo XXL is an oversized slouchy shoulder bag that takes center stage with its corseted lace-up accents, mirror hangtag, and silver-tone hardware. Its size makes it perfect for transitional weather, when you're juggling layers, knits, and maybe even a scarf or two. The relaxed shape and runway-inspired details give it that effortless, fashion-forward edge. Wear it slung over your shoulder with wide-leg trousers and a tailored blazer, or crossbody with a knit dress and boots for an easy city look.

Mini Hobo Bag

The Ganni Hobo Mini Grained handbag is proof that good things come in small packages. Crafted from grained recycled materials and finished with gold-tone Butterfly hardware, it's the kind of bag that instantly elevates even the most casual outfit. Perfect for transitional fall days when you don't need to carry much beyond your phone, wallet, and lip balm. Wear it by the top handle for a polished look or switch to the strap for hands-free ease.

Crossbody Bag with Chain Strap

Denim gets a whole new attitude with the Zadig & Voltaire Rock II Denim Monogram Handbag. Designed with two removable chains, it's as versatile as fall dressing itself. The compact size keeps it practical for coffee runs or nights out, while the rhinestone wings add a touch of sparkle that feels right for the season. Pair it with a tailored coat and ankle boots for chic daytime style, or lean into its playful side with a velvet dress and statement jewelry for evening.

Double Strapped Tote

Polished and practical, the Italian-made Liviana Conti Double Strapped Tote is the ultimate blend of form and function. Crafted from smooth genuine calf leather, it features both short top handles and longer straps for versatile wear, whether you’re heading to the office or running weekend errands. The structured silhouette keeps its shape beautifully, while the magnetic closure ensures your essentials stay secure. A timeless piece that elevates any outfit, this tote is proof that everyday luxury lies in the details.

Pants and Denim

Pair them with an oversized knit and ankle boots for a cozy yet chic seasonal look, or layer them under a structured blazer for an elevated evening outfit. 

High Rise Cropped Skinny Jeans

Don't be afraid to embrace skinny jeans this season. L'Agence's Margot High Rise Skinny are cut from premium stretch denim with a contoured waistband that flatters your silhouette. The cropped length makes them ideal for showing off boots, loafers, or chic ankle straps. Pair them with a soft knit and a trench coat for effortless transitional style, or dress them up with a blouse and statement heels for after-hours outings.

High Rise Flares

Retro style gets a modern twist with Frame Denim The Lax. These high-rise flares offer a structured, vintage-inspired look, making them a go-to piece for seasonal outfit planning. Layer them over sleek ankle boots or pair with a tucked-in knit to add instant polish to your everyday look. Not to mention, this silhouette works beautifully with tailored coats and chunky sweaters.

Cuffed Wide Leg Jeans

Feeling nostalgic? The RE/DONE High Rise Wide Leg Cuff channels a 70s vibe with modern sensibility. Cut from rigid cotton with a vintage 60s-inspired wash, they feature a high-rise waist, button fly closure, and bold cuff with a raw cut hem. The full-length flare adds movement, while the structured denim keeps it polished. Pair them with a simple tee and oversized blazer for relaxed style, or wear with a slouchy sweater and booties for effortless autumn layering.

Slouchy Mid Rise Jeans

For the days you want comfort without losing style, RE/DONE's The Ollie Jean delivers. Their rigid denim and soft, worn-in wash provide a relaxed fit that feels lived-in and effortless. Plus, the mid-rise cut and casual silhouette make them perfect for transitional dressing. Throw them on with everything from a cozy knit to a cropped T-shirt. 

Footwear

Heritage-inspired style meets modern comfort with the Ganni Cleated Derbies Suede. Made with recycled leather and a furry lining, they're an autumn essential for days when warmth and style go hand in hand.

The best part is how comfortable you’ll be.
