Autumn Season | Summer Color Type

24 Pieces // 51 Outfits

Today, let's combine Classic and Natural style essences to create a casual and functional capsule wardrobe for the autumn season!

I’ve had quite a few requests for capsule wardrobes that combine the Classic body type and the Natural essence, or vice versa. So I’ve created a capsule example combining these two style essences that I hope can provide some inspiration for anyone who wishes to combine the Classic and Natural styles, regardless of body type.

If you’re not sure what your body type is, I would love to invite you to book a color and body typing package with me!

And if you’d like to learn more about the Classic or Natural body types, make sure to check out my body type capsule wardrobe series here when you’re done watching this video!

Combining the Classic + Natural Style Essences

Combining the Classic and Natural style elements creates an aesthetic that balances timeless elegance with a relaxed and effortless effect.

Both styles appreciate symmetry, but while Classic gravitates towards tailored and refined pieces, Natural embraces relaxed and unconstructed designs. When marrying these two styles, aim for a harmonious blend of structured pieces, relaxed fabrics, and earthy textures.

Necklines should be simple, unembellished, and open; think unbuttoned shirt collars, V-necks, and sleeveless tops. Sporty necklines such as crewnecks and halter necks are also excellent for this style combination.

Lean into straight, slightly relaxed, or slightly fitted silhouettes. Steer clear of anything too oversized or overly rigid.

Accessories can be understated or bold, but should be medium-to-large in scale to play up the Natural essence. Finally, outfit details such as a gentle waist definition can be achieved with a well-placed belt, tailoring, or a French tuck. Combining Classic and Natural styles results in a look that's effortlessly polished.

Color Palette

For this capsule, I wanted to create a serene and tonal palette with just a bit of contrast, suitable for a soft and cool Summer color palette. Let’s start with shades of gray, taupe, and beige to provide a varied neutral foundation for this palette. Then, add a muted black and soft white to provide some contrast. And finally, lavender, lilac, baby blue, and sky blue for our statement colors.

Capsule Wardrobe

The final capsule includes 6 tops, 6 bottoms, 1 dress, 2 jackets, 4 shoes, and 5 accessories for 24 items which can create at least 51 interchangeable outfits.
