With cooler temperatures fast approaching, it’s time to prepare for a stylish fall and winter season. That always calls for a quick refresh of the basics in your wardrobe. Whether you’re looking for modern knitwear, light jackets or cool, edgy accessories, one thing is certain… You don’t have to spend a ton of money to score basics that look chic and expensive. In fact, Walmart is a great place to source trend-forward staples that you can mix and match for a modern, autumnal look. I’ve picked up tons of new pieces that have become essential in my everyday wear, including these boots and this shacket. There are actually a ton of new fall basics to discover. Keep scrolling for my budget-friendly picks that will see you through the year.

Base Layers

Once the weather changes, a good base layer is the first thing you need to build out your outfit. Turtleneck bodysuits and long-sleeve tees are the first things I reach for. They’re a great way to add an extra layer of warmth.

Cozy Knits

No matter what sweater style you’re in the market for, Walmart has it all. Cozy tunic sweaters are always a go-to for me. I love that you can wear them as a dress for an easy one-and-done outfit. You can even add faux leather leggings and combat boots underneath for a more casual vibe. I’m also loving elevated knitwear styles like this cardigan. The boxy cut offers a twist on the classic and it’d look so effortless half-tucked into jeans.

Leggings

Leggings often see so much wear throughout the colder months that they need to be updated each year. I personally like to have basic knit leggings and faux leather options on hand. These croc-effect ones are a great contender if you want to spice things up.

Light Layers

Fall is peak jacket season – and my ultimate must-have is the shirt jacket. I’ve highlighted them so many times on the blog because the relax cut is great for wearing with your chunkiest knits. This one is best for when it’s too warm to wear a coat but too cold to forgo layers.

Shoes & Accessories

Now’s the time to step up your shoe and accessories game with fall-friendly styles. Black boots go without saying but seek out chunky lug soles for a trend-forward finish. Slouchy suede boots, like this, are an easy way to create a bold look without straying too far from your everyday style. They’re exquisite when teamed with sweater dresses.

Denim

Denim is definitely exciting this season as we have plenty of new silhouettes to test drive. I can’t wait to work more 90’s straight leg jeans and relaxed fits into my fall ensembles. Walmart has some great options that will make your denim collection feel instantly fresh.
