There are 10 fall and winter wardrobe essentials everyone needs. It is already October and I can tell you there is nothing more important than having clothes that will be versatile and last throughout the winter season.
Looking at the fashion trends it is clear what is in, but trends doesn’t always dictate what is essential. This is the time to purge your closet as Summer, I hate to tell you is over. These pieces are functional and can be parted with each other or worn separately.
This isn’t the time to buy new clothes but to work with what you have. I don’t believe in summer and winter clothes. I like to wear my clothes all year round, but I do have my sweater and other key pieces for the winter.
There are do’s and don’t about spending and what you should spend your money on, for that please check out 5 fashion pieces you splurge on. Don’t worry I took the guess work out for you and have compiled this list for you.
10 Fall and Winter wardrobe essentials
Jeans
This might sound odd but I wasn’t the one to like wearing jeans in the winter, I thought it adapted to the weather and make me cold. Once I got the taste of a good jeans this myth was debunked and I am happy to share some of the best finds I have come across

Cardigan
Cardigan is a staple no matter what season we are in or what occasion. I find that a smaller more fitted cardigan is suitable for the summer and a longer looser cardigan for the fall and winter. This makes it on of the 10 Fall and Winter wardrobe essentials.
