I love fall shoes! My shoe capsule wardrobe for fall 2026 is filled with suede, autumn hues, and comfortable footwear. Love that!

Arch support is extremely important, so I have been sticking with shoes I can walk in and also provide arch support. Five out of the six pairs shown above provide arch support whether through built-in arches or heel height. While the brown flats don’t have arch support, they are still comfortable.

These suede high heels are complete game changers. The arch support allows me to walk for miles, stand for long periods of time, and wear them all day without pain. Since they are the stars of my high heel wardrobe, I recently picked up a second pair by Ally; these black boots for fall.

Ally is fast becoming one of my favorite footwear brands. All of their shoes have arch support and are made for walking, standing, and wearing for long periods of time. They are perfect for the office, attending events, and more. I am in love! I plan on adding more of their shoes to my collection over time. They are timeless styles, so definitely investment purchases! Love!

Discount code for Ally shoes: CATHY10 can save you 10% on your purchase. Love that!

Lonza is also fast becoming a new favorite. While their shoes don’t provide built-in arch support, they are comfortable and well-made, as well as affordable. I love their trendier styles. These kitten heels are amazing! Use code CATHY15 to save 15% off your purchase!

Of course, my fall shoe capsule also includes staples from my closet such as these black flats and charcoal boots. I love footwear which stands the test of time.

BAF Weekly List

Happy September! We are seeing cooler nights, more fog, and a handful of trees starting to hint that fall is around is the corner. Thank goodness! I am ready for crisp weather, colorful leaves, and the air conditioner in the off position!

For the fall season, autumn hues, soft fabrics and timeless styles are hotter than hot. I love suede, satin, cozy sweaters, and coated fabrics which look like leather. It’s going to be a fabulous season!

Although the runways have hinted at a return to volume in silhouettes and maximalism, we are still seeing quiet styles on the streets and in stores. Even when things get voluminous, classic styles are still hot, so continue to investment shop and buy staples which can be mixed and matched; and will be easy to wear for several years, not just one season. The trend is to not be too trendy.

Handbag capsule wardrobe fall 2026

The fall season is upon us, and classic, chic handbags are here to stay. While the runways showed some oversize styles, small and medium handbags are dominating the streets. So, we can all continue to wear our small and medium bags while using classic totes for work, the gym, and anytime a tote is needed.

Since the anonymous handbag is timeless and shows off its beautiful quality, I am sticking to my current rotation of handbags for the fall season. I am mixing it up with both structure and slouch. Whichever style I am in the mood to wear, that is the bag I grab! I might go further into my archives and add another shoulder bag to my rotation, so stay tuned. . .

If you haven’t shopped your closet for fall yet, continue to wear your anonymous handbags and look for neutral hues as well as traditional autumn colors from your wardrobe. Pull them out and wear them! This season you can keep wearing east/west bags, belted totes, structured or slouchy, shoulder bags, hobo bags, and any style you want to wear! As long as your bag is anonymous and doesn’t display loud logos, you’re hotter than hot. Love that!

Of course, if you are looking for something new, look for neutrals, soft leathers, small and medium sizes, as well as timeless style. When it comes to handbags, it’s all about the investment versus the one season bag or the bag that will collect dust in your closet.
