Each season on my Substack, Don’t Over Fink ItI curate a temper board impressed by intentional types, fairly than fleeting tendencies. And whereas I wouldn’t essentially name myself a minimalist within the conventional sense, I are likely to gravitate towards items that boast clear strains, easy silhouettes, and a contact of character.
This fall, I’m grounding my capsule wardrobe in three uniforms that embrace autumn classics like leather-based outerwear, denim pants, wealthy suede separates, and durable trench coats. These easygoing staples really feel lived-in, however nonetheless robust—acquainted, but directional.
Look One: Leather Jacket + White Jeans

I’m not able to let go of summer season—and I shouldn’t need to. My white denim is staying in rotation, performing as the right canvas for richer, fall-forward textures. Paired with my Nour Hammour Artiste leather-based jacket (which I’ve been carrying on repeat), the look strikes a stability between structured and easy.
I really like the duality of this jacket—zipped all the best way up, it turns into sculptural and sharp, and when it’s worn open, it relaxes into one thing informal and funky. I stole a plaid shirt from my husband’s closet and wrapped it round my waist (a bit of nod to undone ‘90s style). Then, I added a basic tee, suede boots for texture, and finished it all off with my Row Bindle bag—because I’m in my large bag period.

I may fairly probably put on a trench coat each single day—it simply works. There’s one thing about its simplicity and construction that immediately pulls a glance collectively with out making an attempt too exhausting. Not to say, the most recent New York Fashion Week runways proved that khaki isn’t going anyplace—which supplies me extra motive to double down on nice trenches.
For this outfit, I paired a basic trench with low-slung Agolde denims, suede brown boots, my go-to white tee, and a deep brown outsized tote. I really like the tonal stress between the khaki trench and the darker bag—it provides a quiet energy, with out overpowering the look.

Going again to my fall moodboard that I discussed earlier; one factor I at all times lean into is form. I like constructing seems that sculpt—visually and emotionally. This suede bomber is all about that. From the funnel neck to the huge sleeves, it creates a powerful silhouette with out being too loud. I teamed it with lovely bootcut denims—this pair from Nili Lotan strikes with you however nonetheless holds its line. Then got here the bag—I selected an outsized Bottega, as a result of I need to carry my complete life with me.
The subdued tones—camel, washed indigo, and deep brown—mix quietly however confidently. It’s a palette I return to repeatedly. And what I really like most about this look is that every piece holds its personal. Styled collectively, they really feel elevated and full. Worn individually, they’ll earn their preserve in your wardrobe all season.
