Camel Jacket + Black Jeans
On Wright: Rag & Bone blazer; Citizens of Humanity jeans
"Camel and black are a classic fall combo. It always reads sophisticated, and you'll reach for these pieces over and over again because they're just easy to put together." — Wright
Sweater + Slip Skirt
On Wright: Vince cardigan and skirt
"I love a good matching skirt and sweater, and each piece is versatile on its own, which is an added bonus. Skirts are trending this season, and slip skirts, in particular, are flattering on almost everyone. This is the perfect fall outfit combo!" — Wright
Striped Sweater + Trench Coat + Jeans/Trousers
On Wright: Orolay trench
"Trench coats are a wardrobe staple and have been for a long time. For a classic fall combo, try a slightly more relaxed style of trench with a striped sweater and trousers or denim." — Wright
Silky Blouse + Wide-Leg Trousers/Jeans
On Wright: Alice + Olivia blouse; Mother jeans
"Silky blouses always look a little extra, and whether you go for a print or a solid, they look amazing with denim. Pair a silky blouse with wide-leg jeans for a stylish, updated look." — Wright
Cardigan + Ecru Denim
On Wright: J.Crew cardigan; Mother denim
"Once the fall season starts, I like to switch from white jeans to écru. They're just as neutral and can look a little more polished. A cozy cardigan will effortlessly complete this fall outfit combo." — Wright
