Hooded Jacket

A zip-up hoodie definitely has a spot in a capsule wardrobe. We adore the brown colour – so on trend for fall – but any of the available colours go with a variety of items.

Grey Sweatpants

We’re pretty sure they’ll need at least one pair of grey fleece joggers this year – if not two. You’ll find these as a mainstay of just about any outfit out there – think of it as a blank canvas for creative accessorizing.

This wardrobe staple will come into play in so many ways – as a layer when the kids start to shiver, as a cover up over bathing suits at the beach, tucked into chinos for a preppy smart casual look, or to add some contrast over sweats. Oversized = overtime work!
