Budget-Friendly Fall Wardrobe

Here are 10 budget-friendly Fall items for your neutral wardrobe this season. Last week I posted about my Fall capsule collection and also French essentials. Some of the items are investment pieces that tend to cost a little more.

I wanted to provide some other items you can add for Fall that are $100 or under but still remain timeless and versatile for your Fall wardrobe.

It really doesn’t matter as long as you purchase key items that are classic and more on the neutral side you can wear them for years to come.

Graphic of 10 budget friendly fall fashion items
  1. I love a great structured leather handbag and this beautiful flap cross body is not only gorgeous looking but an incredible price. Mango has some amazing handbags right now like this crock effect and this mini shopper.
  2. This is a great looking Boulcé jacket from H&M in a pretty cream with gold buttons and also lined which is always a plus for any jacket. You could easily dress this jacket up or down for Fall with jeans or pants. A beautiful addition at a great price point. Also comes in a black and white color resembling a Chanel jacket.
  3. A Stripe top is always a necessity for anyone’s closet in a black with white or navy such as this long sleeve version. This is an incredibly price point for this top which you could wear under any jacket or blazer with jeans. I also love this version from Mer Sea which is a little more but made with better quality.
  4. Some of my most favorite sweaters are from Everlane and this Alpaca one is so incredibly comfy and cozy and worth every penny. I have this exact color from last year but would love to add this warm taupe color as well.
  5. Loafers were part of my Fall capsule wardrobe because they are such a staple and so versatile. This pair from Everlane are very comfortable and easy to wear all day. Loafers are great with jeans or pants and help an outfit look polished. I also love these from Madewell and these from Sézane.
  6. Wide leg jeans are thankfully back for Fall and I couldn’t be happier. Besides, the fact they help to elongate your leg I just love the look of wide leg jeans with boots and a blazer or jacket for the cooler months. This is a great pair at a great price which comes in several different washes.
  7. Denim is one of those items that you can wear all year long no matter the season. I love a denim top with a little detail such as a ruffle sleeve and statement collar to make it stand out. This top would be great with black or white jeans and booties or flats.
  8. Organic Cotton Pointelle Tee from Everlane is an amazing price for such a great-looking tee. This is perfect under blazers or jackets or by itself with denim. I always appreciate the look of an elevated tee and this one doesn’t dissapoint plus it comes in some great Fall colors.
  9. I started to appreciate the look of a good black leather belt this year especially after going to Paris. You can use them in so many ways besides just around your jeans. My favorite way is to wear them higher on the waist around a blazer or dress. Skinny or wide a beautiful leather belt really can make an outfit come to life.
  10. Black Leather Ankle Boots from H&M can’t be beat for the price. Not sure how they will stand over time but if your are looking for budget booties then these are a great option.

Hopefully, this list has shown you how these 10 budget-friendly items can be added to your wardrobe at an affordable price. These are all items you can mix and match and wear for seasons to come.
