The past few seasons I've focused more on the longevity and cost-per-wear of items I'm considering purchasing to help me shop more strategically. I've tried to evaluate pieces based on how they fit into my current wardrobe and if I see myself returning to them year after year. The more often I wear something multiplied by the amount of time I own it brings down the estimated cost-per-wear to nearly nothing, making it a foolproof investment in my book—girl math.
I applied this theory to my fall shopping list and narrowed it down to a few key pieces I plan to wear so frequently that the cost-per-wear is mere pennies. With the fashion zeitgeist shifting toward wearability, some of this season's biggest trends also happen to be wardrobe staples—meaning they'll stay in my closet for years. These 6 items will act as the building blocks of my fall 2023 outfits which makes them all sound like fiscally responsible purchases to me. From sleek loafers to tailored trousers, below I'm highlighting the best easy fall staples I plan to wear on repeat.
