What is a really versatile fall wardrobe these days anyway? One that will fit real bodies, real plans and real weather? Whether you have ever stood in front of your September closet and sighed, Nothing feels right, this post is your warm, confident answer. This is not about buying more. It’s about buying smarter. Curating fewer pieces that do more. And ensuring that it all suits your vibe and your life.
So, without further ado, let me explain the items that I believe will be essential in any fall capsule wardrobe in 2025, including gorgeous knits and professional-looking pants. I will deconstruct the look, the key pieces to add to your rotation, and how they can work all season long with every look.
Chunky Sweaters and Power Blues
The combination of a standard cable-knit sweater and the bright cobalt pants is so grounding. It is one of those plus size fall outfits capsule wardrobe moments that scream: I am comfortable but I am coming. It is a slouchy but not shapeless creamy knit that is tucked in just enough so that your waist has a bit of presence. And the royal blue wide-leg trousers? Honestly — they’re a vibe. Tailored but soft, structure without stiffness. Complete with ankle boots and a laid-back green crossbody, this is a complete outfit that is ready to take crisp walks, classroom duty or light traveling days.
Let’s talk about the pants for a second. This deep color is enough to make neutrals pop, but it is not so loud that you will be tired of it by November. These wide legs are most effective in a mid-weight fabric, not too floaty, not too stiff, and you will be surprised at how many times you will wear them. The sweater? It is the type of knit that should be in every fall winter plus size capsule wardrobe. You will wear it tucked, untucked, under coats or over dresses. And if you’re a teacher running errands between lessons and leaf piles, this combo is both polished and low-maintenance.
To be honest, I think that this outfit can easily combine my weekday and weekend looks. I would be able to run to Trader Joe or have brunch with a friend in the park. When you pack light to go to a weekend getaway, these pants are your go-to in your plus size travel capsule wardrobe fall, just replace the striped tee with a structured shirt and you have a winner.
What I’d add here? A wool fedora and a swipe of deep berry lipstick – just to bring it all up to par when the mood hits.
Chic Neutrals for Work and Beyond
Certain ensembles simply know how to carry themselves and this soft-colored, urban-wise outfit is one of them. The whole silhouette is framed with a long sandy beige coat, and a streamlined base is formed by a black shirred-waist blouse and wide-leg cropped pants. Gold-hardware loafers keep it down to earth but classy and the chunky chain necklace ties everything together without being too much. This is what is meant by a plus size fall work capsule wardrobe that can take one from desk to dinner without a costume change.
The hero item here? That coat. It is heavy, long, and with a warm yet high tone. It looks gorgeous over dark colors, but do not hesitate to toss it over prints or even dark jewel tones. And the smocked waistband on the top is a hit, it cinches the waist without being too tight. Pair this with structured pants that hit right at the ankle and you have a professional uniform that can be worn on the weekend.
I have paired versions of this ensemble to conferences and coffee dates. It provides CEO energy without compromising on comfort, and that balance is essential when you are constructing a plus size fall fashion capsule wardrobe. I have even included these trousers into my plus size travel capsule wardrobe fall when I travel to the city and want to feel comfortable but still look stylish.
To complete it? I would also include a top-handle structured bag in camel or oxblood. A little color with polish never hurts.
Pinstripes and Power Vibes
Elegant. Clean. Just a little bit mysterious. A tailored blouse and a pinstripe trouser is an old classic, and this combination shows that it is still a strong one in 2025. The vertical stripes on the pants immediately make the legs longer, and the silky black wrap-like top makes it contrasting and soft. This outfit, when paired with pointed boots, is a bit of a boss-lady-chic and a bit of a dinner-date-ready. It’s a must-have for any plus size fall/winter capsule wardrobe.
Such customized items as these trousers are what I refer to as quiet stars in your wardrobe. They are overtime workers, office, dinner, even a casual Friday when you change sneakers and a tee. And the blouse? That satin texture gives your face light and it looks great under a trench or a blazer. I vow to include at least one luxe-feel blouse in any fall winter plus size capsule wardrobe, it is that elevated staple that you forget you need until you do.
This ensemble brings back to mind what Who What Wear once wrote: a vertical pinstripe will never betray you. It’s true. It makes you long and smooth even when you are not feeling your best. I have used this combination when I have an important Zoom meeting or client lunch coming up, it just makes me feel put together.
One extra? Replace the boot with a strappy heel and this outfit is ready to go out to cocktails. It is the magic of good capsule pieces, they flex with your life.
Street Smart in Warm Neutrals
This is what I mean when I say plus size fall fashion capsule wardrobe style that is down to earth yet strong. A brown turtleneck, fitted tan pants, and a check blazer, that is how tonal dressing is done. The waist is defined by the belt and the heels are pointy enough. This ensemble is also teacher friendly and this is particularly so to those who live in cooler areas and require warmth without bulkiness.
I would choose this blazer as my only fall blazer. Checkered, lightly oversized, and full of layering potential. It polishes off denim, mellows out bright blouses and goes as well with black and camel pants. The pants are built but not stiff, and the high waist is particularly good on those of mid-body shapes who need to lengthen the bottom half.
The appearance of this outfit reminds me of the time when I walked through Manhattan in the early morning hours when the city was yet asleep and I had a hot latte in my hand. It feels smart. Secure. Capable. And since all of it is neutral, every item fits in any plus size capsule wardrobe fall teacher capsule.
If you’re craving more color? Put an olive scarf or a mustard bag to add seasonal touch. Your base is neutrals, you play off them.
Burgundy Power Suit Energy
To close this round, we will have a bit of drama – in the most positive sense. A tailored suit in a burgundy color that fits in the right spots and flows everywhere. The blazer is tied at the waist with a matching belt, which gives it that typical hourglass figure, and the wide leg pants even out the figure. This ensemble, in combination with wine-colored heels and gold jewelry, does not speak in low tones. It speaks fluently in confidence. Your fall capsule wardrobe, a must have in plus-size.
I adore how this suit is festive, yet not obnoxious with its holiday-ness. It is strong in the boardroom but sexy enough to have drinks after work. It is the secret of capsule items, they must have several identities. And this one does it with flair. The blazer fits in at the waist perfectly, and the flowing pants make it not too stiff.
As one stylist at Refinery29 once put it, matching sets are the adult version of loungewear, and I could not agree more. You feel dressed up, even though you did not even consider it longer than five minutes. That’s the energy this look gives.
To finish the moment? When the temperatures are down, add a textured clutch, or even layer underneath with a turtleneck. This appearance is versatile, which is what your fall plus size capsule wardrobe needs to be.
Leopard Layers for Classic Fall Vibes
This duo is an ode to all the women who wish to retain their style as playful but polished. A leopard-print sweater on top of a crisp white shirt, with cropped black trousers and neutral patent heels – it is structured, feminine and a bit wild. The oversized cognac tote makes it look luxurious, and the pointed-toe shoes make it office-ready. It is a textbook plus size fall fashion capsule wardrobe moment – wild meets work-ready.
Let’s talk pieces. Leopard in fall is the florals in spring, a staple that just never gets old. And when it is done this clean, it never tips into kitsch. The black culottes are a mid-rise staple and can be paired with loafers, boots or sneakers. The white layered shirt is the one that reintroduces that structured prep vibe, so this is ideal as plus size fall capsule wardrobe or even plus size capsule wardrobe fall teacher outfits. Add a trench and you’re ready to conquer Monday.
This ensemble makes me feel like I am in a Nancy Meyers movie- smart, composed, cool without trying. I have used something close to this combination to parent-teacher conferences, coffee consultations, and informal networking. People always ask where the sweater is from.
What’s missing here? Perhaps a wine-coloured lip, simply enough, to be seasonally dramatic.
Golden Hour Glamour
You can have pieces that you wear and then there are pieces that wear you, in the best way. This mustard-gold midi dress is the latter. It is flattering and formal with long sleeves and a fitted bodice and a flared skirt, but the fabric is soft and comfortable. Add delicate heels and a glittery clutch and suddenly you’re ready for holiday parties, theater dates, or upscale dinners during the fall/winter season.
The outline of this dress is so versatile. It’s romantic without being over-the-top. It is also a stunning piece that can be included in a fall winter plus size capsule wardrobe. The length of the midi is important, it will help to balance the long sleeves and allows you to reveal the ankle-strap heels or boots. You may add a cropped jacket (or even a faux fur stole) on top to keep you warm and create drama.
Honestly? I think that every woman should have at least one piece of celebration in her capsule wardrobe. You may not have a particular event in mind but one will come to you. And when it comes, this dress will be hanging in your closet.
When you are creating your capsule to travel or holiday events roll this beauty into your suitcase. It is weightless, occupies minimal space and makes you have main character energy in a second.
Pleated Forest Green with a Vest Twist
This outfit can be described as fall elegance with a twist. This is a combination of softness and strength, and is achieved by a rich forest green dress, long, pleated, and slightly boho, layered with a structured black vest. The dark blue ballet flats and the little silver jewelry make the whole ensemble look new, contemporary and layering-friendly. It has the late-October light quality – glowy and down-to-earth at the same time.
Pleats are huge again and this dress is the evidence that they should have a place in your plus size fall/winter capsule wardrobe. The texture provides movement to the image and the vest provides contrast and edge. My favorite thing is the versatility of styling: take off the vest and you are ready to have a warm wine tasting or a Sunday art gallery tour. Put on a cropped leather jacket and you have edge.
This dress takes me back to my friend Jess, a high school art teacher who lives on layers and color. She has repeatedly claimed that a pleated midi dress is her uniform to feel herself. I couldn’t agree more. It flows so well, layers like a dream, and lifts your day in an instant.
To enhance this look for colder fall/winter temps? Add fleece-lined tights and a tall boot. That combo? Instant capsule magic.
Denim and Daylight Confidence
Clean, effortless, timeless. The blouse is made of soft ivory and is tucked into a pair of high-waisted denim and this outfit is something that will be as appropriate in the fall of 2025 as it was five years ago, and it is not going to go away. The long sleeved blouse hangs loosely on the shoulders with the cuffs slightly tightened. The high-rise jeans are like a glove and provide support without compromising stretch. It is the sort of combination that allows you to breathe, both literally and stylistically.
The ideal jeans and a silky blouse are the two items that make up the foundation of an excellent plus size travel capsule wardrobe fall version. Throw in a wool coat and sneakers and you are set to go sightseeing or weekend markets. Swap in booties and lipstick? Brunch date ready. It’s all about buildable layers with maximum versatility.
I have a tendency to resort to this combination when I am unsure of what to wear. It never lets me down. It is stylish, clean and does not make me feel stuffy. The jeans fit me in the right spots without feeling like a death trap, which is quite unusual in the mid-rise universe.
Want a little more edge? Add a snakeskin bag or a leather trench. You can appear as though you took hours to do it when it was five minutes flat.
Power Pairing: Purple Blazer & Emerald Pants
When color-blocking is done right, there is no confidence booster like it. This outfit, emerald green wide leg pants and a fitted purple blazer over a white tank, is not too in your face. It is playful, mature, and perfect to anyone who is building a capsule wardrobe with a little character. It provides boardroom with a twist when paired with structured accessories and square statement earrings.
These two are great capsule staples in case you are not afraid of color. The pants are perfectly fitted, loose yet in control, and the blazer is that nice touch of pop that makes you feel alive. In the plus size fall work capsule wardrobe, this is your Monday to meeting outfit. It serves as a reminder that fashion does not need to die with the leaves.
Fashion psychologist Shakaila Forbes-Bell has discussed the effects of bright color on mood, particularly in winter – and she is so correct. I feel more alert, more aggressive when I put on a combo like this. The color doesn’t wear me. It lifts me.
My advice? If color scares you, just start with one piece. Maybe it’s the pants, maybe the blazer. Combine it with neutrals until you are comfortable turning up the saturation. Your closet, as well as your self-esteem, will be grateful.
Rust Knit Meets Crisp White Structure
This ensemble is a chai latte in clothing disguise. The burnt orange ribbed turtleneck over a flowing white button-down shirt hits the right balance between form and fluff. It’s clean, it’s smart, and it screams fall. The black fitted pants bring the outfit down to earth, but the showstopper here is that the top layers redefine proportions in a very flattering manner. This duo is a must in every fall winter plus size capsule wardrobe that combines warm with cool.
I adore that this ensemble is leaning towards a traditional fall color scheme of rust, ivory, and black, but is not predictable. The sweater is cut at the waist to prevent bulkiness and the white shirt adds movement and contrast. This layered pair is a must-have in your plus size fall fashion capsule wardrobe when you want to go out on the weekend and when you have to run errands during the week. Bonus? With a simple interchange of the sweater to a vest or cardigan, you can come up with three additional looks in a minute.
I have worn this very combination as a bridge outfit, when I want to dress up, but I do not want to feel underdressed. Add hoop earrings and you’re ready for brunch, family photos, or even a Zoom call with the camera on.
To polish this off? Atop it would be a crossbody bag in chestnut or a plaid scarf.
Sweater Weather Done Sharp
This look is all about understated confidence. Deep wine-color V-neck sweater that was tucked a bit in high, wide leg, black trousers with a belted waist. It is timeless and timeless and just what a plus size fall work capsule wardrobe is supposed to provide, simplicity, comfort, and mix-and-match. The monotone effect and the lack of accessories make the focus on the silhouette.
The trousers are really the anchor here. They are loose enough to be casual and stiff enough to wear heels or pointed flats. And the V-neck gives that longer effect, at least to those of us with a fuller bust or shorter neck, this cut is magic. The best part? You can replace any of the tops here: a turtleneck, a crisp blouse, or even a cropped jacket, and you still will get maximum effect.
In real talk, I live fall in these types of pants. They’re travel-friendly, always flattering, and somehow manage to feel like pajamas without looking like them. In fact, if you’re planning a plus size travel capsule wardrobe fall style, a pant like this deserves space in your suitcase.
The only thing I would change about this outfit is to add a structured bag or an animal print heel just to give it a little edge.
Sculptural Elegance in Chocolate Brown
The statement sleeve is back in fashion, and this outfit shows that they are more practical than ever. An architectural and confident chocolate brown tailored pantsuit has exaggerated pleated bell sleeves. The blazer is snatched yet not tight and the flared pants slide, not stick. It’s drama, but make it elegant. Perfect to add some power-dressing vibe to any plus size fall fashion capsule wardrobe.
The best thing about this outfit is that it has bold details and clean lines. The color is deep and earthy – very fall/winter dressing. And the pleats are not decorative only, they sway so well when you walk. This is one of those dresses that people stare at but which you can wear with a sleek updo and some big earrings and still feel completely comfortable.
I believe that every capsule wardrobe should have at least one suit that is outstanding, something more than black. This one ticks that box with serious flair. Plus, the pants and blazer can be worn separately. Those trousers and a cropped black turtleneck and boots? Chef’s kiss.
If you’re daring, wear it to a work event. Otherwise, cut it into pieces and wear it on your conditions.
The Tailored Grey Suit Revival
A tailored charcoal pantsuit with an in-built belt detail over a light beige turtleneck and completed with slouchy tan suede boots, this ensemble is all that a plus size fall work capsule wardrobe should aspire to. Practical, sleek, warm, and polished. This one will work whether you are in a hurry to a meeting or simply having your power moment on a city sidewalk. It’s timeless tailoring with a fall refresh.
This suit works overtime. The waist detail of the blazer is slight yet structured and the addition of the turtleneck makes the entire figure look soft. I prefer the pants are just above the ankle, which is good to display your favorite boots or heels. It is definitely one that I have in my own plus size fall/winter capsule wardrobe, particularly when I have to look smart but not fussy.
I have used suits of this kind during interviews, presentations, and even during casual days when I just needed that extra energy. It is not too serious and does not overdo it. That’s what I love.
I would just add a silk scarf or a bright bag in oxblood or navy to contrast it, just to make it a bit more awake.
Skirt + Boots = Fall’s Best Match
A midi skirt and tall boot combination is one of the most complimentary and versatile fall outfits when done properly. This outfit nails it. An oversized black belt with a camel wrap skirt is paired with a fitted black turtleneck, clean, modern, and so wearable. Black knee-high boots complete the outfit with some form and a bit of edginess. It is a must-have in any plus size fall/winter capsule wardrobe collection.
The trick to making this combo work is proportion. The tight turtleneck creates a balance to the bulkiness of the skirt and the belt ties it all together. I would go easy on accessories say just a pair of gold hoops or a heavy bracelet. It is a less is more outfit that says a lot.
This is the same look I wore last Thanksgiving and was both stylish and completely comfortable, even after dessert. It’s one of those outfits that feels good on your body no matter the day. And in a plus size capsule wardrobe fall teacher or office friendly environment? This could be on heavy rotation.
Want to push this further? Include a cut leather jacket or a loud coat. It layers like a dream.
Bold Mustard Drama for Chic Cold Days
This style is a party of color and shape-daring, but not screaming, fitted, but not rigid. A mustard coat with puff sleeves and a thick black belt tied around the waist immediately attracts attention. The orderly volume of the sleeves is the ideal contrast to the clean lines of the rest of the outfit, and it provides that polished-yet-playful touch. With a tight black foundation and a pair of thigh-high black boots and a quilted shoulder bag, this outfit is sending a message: I know what I am doing and it is loud and clear.
The coat is not only an outerwear in this case but the whole mood. I believe that all good plus size fall/winter capsule wardrobes must have at least one eye-catching coat in a color that makes you feel strong. Mustard is unexpectedly versatile and brings dimension to all the blacks and browns we are so inclined to wear during the cooler months. The wide belt is useful in defining the waist and can be used on numerous layers underneath, therefore, perfect in winter plus styling.
I have discovered that colors such as this one can get me out of those grey-day moods. Wearing yellow in October is like I am tapping into the final golden leaves before the winter. Fashion insiders such as Katie Sturino are all about dopamine dressing, and I completely understand why.
The only thing I would change about this is a thick scarf or leather gloves, something warm to make the transition between style and travel-friendly functionality. Little layering items are especially important when you are creating a plus size travel capsule wardrobe fall edition.
Retro Plaid and Camel Perfection
Plaid skirts and camel coats are timeless because there is a reason behind them. This outfit is fall 101—but elevated. The plaid pencil skirt is high-waisted, which gives structure to the outfit and the black turtleneck provides contrast and warmth. Add a camel coat to the shoulders and put on tall tan boots and you have a flawless plus size fall work capsule wardrobe outfit that can take you to work and then to evening cocktails without a hitch.
Each piece here can stand alone. The plaid skirt is your best friend in a plus size fall outfits capsule wardrobe as it can be worn with knits, blazers or even graphic tees. The camel coat is the slick coat you will always go back to, neutral, classic and classy. Tan boots? They are the final touch that makes you look complete even when the morning is hectic.
I recall my first capsule wardrobe, when I was doing a teaching internship. Articles such as these allowed me to feel comfortable in a classroom, as well as relaxed enough to do lunch duty and grading after hours. This combo is gold when you are making a plus size capsule wardrobe fall teacher edition.
You could definitely play with accessories here. It could go into editorial with a beret, a brooch, even daring earrings. But as it is? Solid, smart, and endlessly re-wearable.
Effortless Elegance in Neutrals
This look exudes subtle confidence. A midi knit dress in burgundy fits perfectly, and it is easy to wear it under a traditional beige trench. The silk scarf around the neck gives it a touch of European sophistication and the nude pumps and a boxy structured tote maintain the entire look luxe and purposeful. It is minimalism, not boring, and it is perfect in boardrooms and brunches.
Midi knock is the unsung hero of any fall plus size fashion capsule wardrobe. It can easily move between seasons and can be combined with sneakers, heels, boots, you name it. The trench, of course, is a fall staple. Put scarves, gloves, or even over denim on top of it to get a weekend style.
It is so empowering to wear clothes that are elegant but do not shout. I feel like the best version of me when I wear outfits such as this even when I am only running errands. This sort of style is not about doing everything, it is about doing what works.
A fun twist? A bold lip or surprise pair of sunglasses should be added to create contrast. However, in all sincerity, this outfit already scores the “elevated capsule” point perfectly.
Modern Cool with a Tailored Twist
This ensemble is so modern and minimalist, which I adore- an oversized black blazer, a white shirt, and cropped denim in a light wash. The ensemble, coupled with shiny black loafers and a bag with a velvet-like texture, is somewhere between street and classroom-appropriate. It is a fall winter plus size capsule wardrobe staple.
The most important items in this case, blazer, white shirt, jeans, are the fall ultimate base layers. This is the beginning of your plus size capsule wardrobe fall teacher or creative office uniform. The loafers are comfortable to walk around the city blocks, and the bag is just enough to have some texture to make it not feel flat.
I had a similar outfit on a short business trip to travel last October, and it was just what I needed: comfortable in the airport, professional during the client meetings, and cool to have a spontaneous dinner in the wine bar. That’s what I’m always chasing—versatility with personality.
At the most, I could exchange the shirt with a knit turtleneck when temperatures are low. Otherwise, this is already perfection on a Monday morning or casual Friday.
Business Casual Gets a Chic Refresh
This outfit brings structure and softness together. A beige blazer that is slightly oversized is worn over a striped blouse that is crisp in nature, and high-waisted dark trousers provide a grounding effect. The energy is all about confidence and to be honest, this would fit perfectly on a Pinterest board with the title plus size fall work capsule wardrobe.
The power of a good blazer is something to be said. This one isn’t stiff—it has movement, ease, and presence. The striped shirt is interesting and polished and the navy trousers are that neutral anchor that every capsule wardrobe requires.
Many of my readers have told me that they are constantly seeking workwear that does not make them feel like they are trying to blend in. And I get that. Artworks such as this one do exactly the opposite, they make you occupy space in a beautiful way. As per Glamour fall 2025 trend predictions, slouchy suiting is not going anywhere and I am so happy about that.
I would like to see this with metallic flats or a pop-color crossbody bag to take it up a notch in the aesthetic department. These minor details are what make a capsule wardrobe unique.
Neutrals with a Pop: Grey and Red Elevated Casual
This ensemble is a step up in neutral layering and adds a juicy splash of red to mix things up. The grey knit top is relaxed and tucked into the dark denim, which is held down by a long open-front grey coat. However, the real eye candy is that bright red crossbody bag and the oversized bead necklace, which has been deliberately selected to give it some energy and purpose. The style is ideal in between fall/winter weather where it is not cold enough but you still need to look presentable.
The coat itself is a must-have in any fall winter plus size capsule wardrobe, it is loose enough to wear over sweaters but it is also structured enough to dress up any casual foundation. The red accessories give the outfit a pulse. When the rest of the season is full of earth tones, I like a strong contrast, it makes the energy fresh and interesting. The coat is balanced by the dark denim with a wide leg that is comfortable.
In my case, it is the type of attire I put on when I feel like being relaxed yet powerful. Grey and red is just something that works when I am going through the world. Who What Wear predicts that cherry red will make a comeback in a resurgent way in 2025, and especially when worn with neutrals. They were right.
I would perhaps include a printed scarf in the same red hues to repeat the accessories and add more texture to the face. However, without it, this outfit is still dynamic and elevated effortless plus size fall fashion capsule wardrobe energy.
Soft Stripes and Wide-Leg Calm
The style is all about casual form, an oversized knit in cream with black stripes, pulled just a little into high-waisted black trousers with exaggerated pleats. The wide-leg silhouette is free with each step, and the thin black belt completes the whole picture. You can wear it on a teacher workday or a cozy creative meeting and get immediately balanced.
This striped knit is a must-have in any plus size fall/winter capsule wardrobe, it is timeless, it is versatile, and it can be layered in a million different ways. The high-waisted trousers are comfortable but pulled-together, perfect to wear long days when you have to feel both comfortable and confident. The combination of the loose top and the structured pant makes that quiet luxury silhouette that is so trendy at the moment.
Personally, this is my go-to silhouette when I want to look like I’ve got my life together (even if I don’t). It’s forgiving, timeless, and still feels current. Not to mention that, as stylist Allison Bornstein says, stripes are never out of style, they are a forever print in any capsule wardrobe.
I would add a camel coat or quilted vest to this to make it a plus size travel capsule wardrobe fall favorite and change the sneakers to ankle boots. Cozy, elevated, and incredibly wearable.
Modern Romantic in Denim and Florals
There’s something playful and grown-up about this outfit. Woman in a blushed floral blouse with discreet meantime gray and a bit puffed sleeve floats over high rise long on the leg denim trouser with color pop panels. It is a beautiful retro touch that does not look old fashioned, just the right touch to make your fall plus size capsule wardrobe a bit softer.
The denim here is magic- it lifts, lengthens and goes with anything. I am a massive advocate of the fact that one pair of statement jeans in your capsule is a game changer. This duo particularly flattens the middle and balances curves perfectly. The blouse provides a contrast with its soft texture and warm colors, and it is ideal to wear it as a mid fall under jacket or cardigans.
I feel a little romantic when I wear something like this even when I am just getting coffee. It’s breezy but thoughtful. And I adore the way that a little rebelliousness in the best way is added by adding florals in the fall. The 2025 trend report by Refinery29 said that one of the biggest trends was a romantic nostalgia, and this completely fits that criterion.
I would complete it with some brown heeled booties and some dainty gold hoops to fit the mood. This style may take you out of the fashion district walks to weekend wine tasting- with no loss of steps.
