The best aspect of fall will be something different for everyone —from pumpkin spice lattes to colorful leaves to cozy nights at home. For us, it’s the fall fashion: coats, layering, boots, scarves, sweaters, the list goes on.
This year we’re specifically loving fall neutrals as they always feel effortlessly elevated. Whether it’s a camel sweater, classic khaki trench coat, rich caramel boots, or taupe trousers, a neutral piece makes any fall outfit feel polished.
So to help you get a jump start on your fall shopping, we’ve rounded up the 14 best neutral pieces we’ve seen so far from our favorite retailers like Reformation, Shopbop, and Net-a-Porter. Each has a classic, timeless quality about them that ensures they’ll act as staples in your wardrobe for years to come.
