Neutral Outfits for Work: Fall Workwear Capsule

I’m styling the capsule pieces into several neutral outfits in this portion of the Fall Workwear Capsule series. I used heels with most of these outfits, but you can swap the heels for flats. For a warmer option, you could also choose full-length pants and boots.

Neutral Outfits for Work: Fall Workwear Capsule

My Sizing: I’m 4’10”, and my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 32″, 24″, and 36″. My inseam is 25″ (the measurement from the inside of my leg to my ankle bone). The clothes shown are unaltered and show how they fit me right from the store. I list my sizing beside each item to help you compare when shopping online. When referencing my true size, that is often the smallest option available at a brand or petite xxs/00/24. I wear a size 5 shoe.

Capsule Pieces

Cashmere Sweater in burgundy, olive, and camel: XS

I chose the $50 Cashmere Sweater from Quince in camel (teak), burgundy, and olive (moss) for the capsule. A crewneck sweater is an easy way to elevate any outfit and gives it a professional edge. If you’ve tried Quince’s cashmere sweater in past seasons, give it another try; they redesigned it this year, and it’s thicker. I’m wearing them in XS and find the fit to be true to size overall. You can find a less expensive crewneck sweaters at J.Crew Factory and Kohl’s.

Black Slash Neck Top: XXS

I chose a black slash-neck top from Banana Republic Factory. This top is beautiful worn on its own; I love the unique neckline, but it also layers well. Banana Republic Factory has great petite options that are on the more affordable end. They’re still a great fit and great quality overall. This top is soft and stretchy. I’m wearing it in XXS.

White Button-Down: Petite XXS

A white button-down top is a classic and can be found in so many different places. I found one at J.Crew that I love the fit of, but if you don’t already have one in your closet, there are definitely less expensive options out there. Try this one from Banana Republic Factory or J.Crew Factory.

Plaid Blazer: Petite 00

This plaid blazer from Banana Republic Factory has a great petite fit. The sleeves are not too long and it fits well through the shoulders and body. I’m wearing it in my true size here. This blazer is thick and warm, and I love how the neutral print adds a little interest to the capsule outfits. Since this blazer is on the thick side, it’s not one I would wear with the sleeves pushed back.

Long Cardigan: XXS

The Juliette sweater from J.Crew is a beautiful wardrobe staple. This sweater doesn’t come in petite, so it runs a little large on me. If you have the option, a size down would be the best fit for this sweater. Unfortunately, XXS is sold out in the color I’m wearing, but J.Crew tends to restock this sweater so keep an eye on it! There is a similar, less expensive option from Amazon, but this sweater runs even larger than the J.Crew sweater. So this one may be an option if you can size down.

Cashmere Cardigan: XS in moss

This cardigan sucked me in because it’s a perfect match to the moss cashmere crewneck sweater. I love the matchy-matchy moment there, but it’s also a beautiful neutral that layers well with all of the other colors I chose for the capsule. The sweater is long on me and comes to my knees. I love it, but some petites may find it a little too long. It’s soft and overall true to size overall.

Black Slim Pants: Petite 0

The New Cameron Pants from J.Crew have a slim leg, but they’re a little bit longer and looser than the original Cameron Pants. It’s an updated fit that is still a classic style. I sized up in these pants for the best fit overall. This pair is dry-clean only, but this pair is machine washable if you prefer that. This pair from Old Navy is less expensive.
