J.Crew

If you're looking to build the ultimate fall capsule wardrobe in one go, J.Crew is probably your best bet. It's got every element of your future fits covered, from trendy utility jackets ($198; $150) to sweaters, jeans and suede boots ($298; $210). And since the retailer is slashing up to 50 percent off its new seasonal styles from now through Sept. 29, there's no better time for a shopping spree.

Even better? There are loads of cozy finds marked down by an additional 30 percent with code SALETIME, so you can enjoy savings upon savings if you hit J.Crew's website this weekend.

As you've probably guessed, my cart is filling up already, and I'd suggest getting a jump on yours since the sale ends soon. Here are nine styles on my own wish list to get you started.

An easy fit, tie waist and side slit—if you ask me, this dress has it all for fall. The spruce color is a stunner, too, and it's even machine-washable, so when you inevitably want to wear it on repeat, you totally can. Made from 100 percent viscose that guarantees a lightweight feel, this beauty is sure to come in handy on those days that start crisp and heat up by the afternoon.

Hoping to snag a stylish, versatile and office-ready top for less? Good news: This textured satin vest is up for grabs in a ton of colors, including fall classics like burgundy, green and this sophisticated navy. It already has quite a fan club, which includes one buyer who wrote that they "love the option to cinch in the waist more or less to present a different silhouette." Yes, that's right, this style has an adjustable buckle detail at the back, allowing for a fit that looks super tailored. Pair it with a blazer and pleated trousers at work or wide-leg jeans and a cardi on the weekend—either way, you're bound to look perfectly polished.

You simply can't miss this waist-snatching cardigan while it's $68 off. It's roomy enough for layering, but you can also wear it on its own as a top (thank you, collar detail). The fall essential is made of lambswool and features loose-fitting arms, so you can look forward to a warm-yet-movable fit, even if it's all buttoned up.

Got some after-work events on the books? If so, trust me when I say you don't want to pass up this versatile shirtdress, which one reviewer said "looks good with the sleeves down or rolled up." It has a button front with a lace-trim collar and playful pleated skirt, making it total preppy perfection in my eyes. More importantly, it can be dressed up and down with sneakers, pumps or knee-high boots, so don't be surprised if it becomes your new weekday uniform.

I'm not missing the opportunity to score these slim-wide jeans for a steal, and neither should you. They have a structured fit that will feel anything but constricting—mainly due to their contoured waistband and welcome touch of elastane. As a cherry on top, they feature a longer rise, a narrower waist and Perfecting pockets, which are designed to hold and lift in all the right places.

ICYMI, those green army jackets we wore on repeat in the late 2000s are back again—and just as practical as ever. This take on the style has an interior drawcord that allows for a shape-enhancing cinch, along with *four* flap patch pockets for some fittingly functional flair. The layer is made of a heavier cotton blend that a number of reviewers say is great for chillier days.

These suede booties have both style *and* comfort down pat thanks to their squared-off toe and thick, angled heel. They also have a pull-on fit and stretchy panels akin to a Chelsea boot, so there won't be any struggle to get them on and off after a long day. What more can you ask for?

This oversized sweater blazer, complete with a drapey shawl collar and roomy patch pockets, is made of a cotton, polyester and merino wool blend that's sure to keep you warm while you're out and about. Its look is classic enough that you'll want to wear it with everything, so if, like me, you're already planning your outfits around it, I'd suggest snagging it while it's nearly $100 off.

Reviewers rave over this ladylike little cardigan, which will look equally cute on its own or layered over your favorite blouse, as one reviewer noted. Combining a short-sleeve silhouette with a cotton-blend cable knit, it's the ideal pick for those in-between autumn temps, as it'll keep you cozy but not overheated.
