As a modest dresser, fall just so happens to be my favorite season. While my summer consisted of breezy dresses and linen galore, the upcoming season gives me a lot more options. Because of the large variety, I’ve found myself getting a bit carried away in the past by reaching for every trend that I can. Over the years I’ve tapped into the potential of my personal style and have taken a slightly more minimal approach to plan my wardrobe. That’s not to say I won’t be dabbling in a few trends this season—there are a definitely few ones that have certainly been high on my radar. (Pastels, lace details, and biker-style clothing, to name a few.) But to keep myself in check for fall, I’ve made myself a wardrobe checklist of pieces I’ll be prioritizing this season as a modest dresser. 

Below, you can see (and shop) the 13 pieces that are a must-have in my closet this season. As a modest dresser, planning an outfit takes a little bit more time than usual but with the groundwork I’m setting below, there are already dozens of outfit ideas that are coming to mind. With that said, keep scrolling to kickstart your fall wardrobe.
