Autumn Capsule Wardrobe: 10 Pieces for the Perfect Capsule

Hello! I was looking for links for the items you presented? Could you kindly provide? Thanks!

Sorry they didn't seem to be working but I've added them again now. Should be ok now

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

You look amazing! Don’t get too skinny, we don’t want you to evaporate, lol. I love your focus on optimizing health, rather than getting to a certain size. As usual, I love everything you show and how to style it. Classic and elegant forever!

[@deannestjames5590]

I agree with you, Kimberly! Gemma is a very soft, feminine woman! She wears it well!! Recently, I lost 25 lbs for health reasons! When I am asked why I want to be lean, oftentimes, no matter the answer I give, people choose to believe what they deem as important! I no longer feel it necessary to explain, however, I just blame it on my Doctor! Works every time! I am 5 feet 1 inch in height! Almost all my nice clothing needs to be altered for height reasons alone. Every 10 lbs is a clothing size. Recently, I have saved so much money by not allowing myself to fluctuate. Working for Jenny Craig was by far one of the greatest opportunities, to date. The pain women feel regarding their less that perfect bodies can be brutal! Although, I was a certified counselor, it still took me one full year before I began to connect my mind, body and emotional well-being. I applaud women all over the World who see the value in Loving themselves!!!

[@bonniebenz8792]

Great video. Loved all your looks. My wardrobe is similar, I keep it simple, black, white, khaki and brown. My only pops of color are orange/rust and olive.

I have been following you for years. I live in America and appreciate your approach to sophistication. Where I live most individuals dress much too casual and I appreciate being a woman who is classy. Congrats on your weight loss. I cannot wait to order your Gemma bag too.

Thanks Gemma for sharing your lovely, affordable, realistic to wear everyday and practical outfits. Well done on the weight loss, you look sooooo well👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰

Hi Gemma, loved the black dress you showed with the cognac boots. I have an a line boot skirt in black wool that I just realized I could style to look like that dress. Thanks for the inspiration and the closing goodbye 😊.

[@valpurves45]

Those matching jumper and cardigans are gorgeous. I love the grey pants short sleeved sweater and long cardigan over. That zara navy blazer is sooo classy. Good price too. Really good suggestions. . Weather is definitely cooler. Thanks Gemma x

Very nice & elegant choices. My key pieces this fall will be matching knit sweater & skirt set, corset tops (that I'll wear over a sweater or button down), and cable Sweaters:)

Thank you for a wonderfully curated fall capsule. You’re right about the effects eating habits (like mindless snacking while watching entertainment/sports) on our health. 🍪

[@catherinemoon3003]

So glad you like Noom. I lost 57 pounds over 18 months with them and think very well of them. Thanks for your good, straight-forward fashion advice. I really appreciate you.

[@Gemmawhattowear]

Wow that’s amazing results, well done you 👍🏻

[@eldaeye9107]

Love your ideas.I’m a senior and feel most outfits you show us are doable.

[@Pluscelamemechose]

I understand the lure of wearing black, I personally don't. Winter in any city looks like a pallbearers' convention, and 90% of it is schlep. Worn out, ill fitting and mass produced plastic clothes dominate the landscape, and tend to hang on flabby bodies. There is so little self respect on display, that black portends the rot leaking out of failing vessels. I'm happy to see, you take your appearance seriously. Looking tidy is self care, not pride or vanity.

[@fionafrazer8820]

You're looking great - I've also tried Noon and it definitely works. I have always weighed myself daily - it helps to keep me on track, or to be able to see how much I've gained! Love the brown on you - it's one of my favorite colors, and one that I haven't worn yet since letting my silver hair take over! It's hard to find a cool-toned brown at this time of year, but I'll keep on looking. Love the black trench. Wonderful video - as usual - this time of year is absolutely the best for fashion!

[@midlife_minimalist]

Autumn used to be my favorite season and love the clothes, but I live in Florida currently and there is no Autumn. I’m lucky if I get to wear those things in winter. Autumn = Peak Hurricane season here. So it was a great video but made me sad 😔

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Long-sleeved cotton t-shirts are a staple in my wardrobe, too. They are just the perfect weight and warmth for indoor wear in autumn and spring, even in winter if I turn the heat on a little (I don’t routinely). I also love them under blazers, as you do, and I think they’re more elegant than standard short-sleeved ones. I find myself wearing my short-sleeved t-shirts less and less, I prefer sleeveless in the summer and long sleeves the rest of the year. I think we end up with too many standard t-shirts because they are so cheap and easy to buy, but my short-sleeved ones just don’t get the wear they should, one of each of my basic colors (black, navy, beige, khaki green) and two white ones, a V-neck and a square neck, are really all I need. I only kept the two or three graphic tees that are the most simple and classic and “me”, no band tees, novelty ones or cutesy sayings.

[@PS_testing321...]

I am a huge fan of long sleeve t shirts, as well. I am allergic to synthetics, so it allows me to wear a layer on top that might irritate my skin. This limits my ability to shop at reasonably priced places, as everything I have is cotton, wool, cashmere or linen. The linings of jackets are usually made od synthetics, so the long sleeve cotton T is my best friend. My kilt skirt uniform skirt in school used to give me rashes and I always had to wear a cotton half-slip underneath (which was hard to find in the '80's.) We joked that if we tried to burn them in a bonfire upon graduation, they would just melt into a petroleum mess. I sleep every night in mens cotton long sleeve t shirts. Not very sexy for my husband, but arm and comforting to me.

[@lindsaymcpupps2615]

Evening Gemma, loving your brown blouse. You're looking very slim and healthy. Walking Willy definitely helps me, but I need to watch the seedy bread ( love owt seedy) 😄😄😄 I've put weight on,losing it very slowly. Enjoyed the vid, lovely to watch you whilst husb watches footie xx 😘

Good on you for your weight loss project. I got a nice black trench from M&S this spring. It is lovely. Really well made and I live in a cooler climate. I also got a camel coloured blazer but the buttons are a bit shiny so I might swap them out at some point. I love my black jeans but I wish they would not fade. I also wish I could get better T-shirts that the collars don’t sag after a few launders. I like dresses and even wear them around the house with tights or leggings in the winter. Key pieces…trench coat, camel blazer, black blazer, fuzzy animal print jacket for fun. Cashmere sweaters, crew and neck, dark wash Levi’s, black jeans and dark plaid slim trousers. Long sleeve bamboo tees in several colours, turtle neck tees, wool,scarves, plaid cashmere and vintage Burberry (from my mom). Booties in many colours. Tilley fawn fedora and charcoal wool hat with brim. Your videos are always great and there are clothes that we can afford. I am a little on the heavy side, but have stopped worrying about my weight and have lost about 10 lbs over the last year. Menopause hit me hard! However, I don’t have wrinkles!

[@dianecyment1715]

Great autumn pieces, Gemma. I also love cardigans and have been wearing them for years. What would you recommend as an alternative color for fall/winter ankle boots? I just purchased a pair of burgundy, but I keep wondering if a camel color choice would be more functional. Congratulations on your journey to better health.

[@nelmakrieger]

Congratulations! You look amazing!

[@sehoida]

I love all of these pieces, but I hate shopping! I wish I could just send a personal shopper this video and say “get me this stuff in my size” 🤣

[@americafirst9144]

If you live in a large city, just call a fancy store and ask if they will pick out and bring the items to your house. I knew someone who did that, but she probably spent about $4,000 at a time.

[@An_Gold]

I am the same.

[@An_Gold]

@@americafirst9144 Exactly. 4k is too much (for one time).

[@americafirst9144]

@@An_Gold You can just call a store personal shopper and they could make a rack for you. Then you'd just have to go try it on.

I had a similar sweater to the cream H&M V-neck that was great for a semi-casual night out and when the weather got chillier, I'd layer it over a crewneck thermal tee or a lightweight poloneck with jeans or dark slacks.

[@mariannethomas1791]

Gemma, another brilliant video. I too get a little tired of denims and have recently bought three dresses from Joe Browns. One patterned boldly in bright pink, one multi autumn coloured and one navy paisley patterned. They are all fitted at the top but have a loose skirt. These will look fabulous with a junky cardigan and boots. The inspiration came from you. Thank you x

Just recently found your channel and like your down to earth style suggestions. I tried to get on NOOM, but as I live in a rural area with NO CELL SVC., I cannot use their platform. I have a laptop and internet (thank goodness) but no cell phone : ( Pity, really- they should work out something for the other 10% of people in my situation.

[@ghosts231]

Wonderful pieces, all of them. I live in Florida so it’s a lighter wardrobe for me. However, I do own a black trench, which looks so classy. Also, I’ve got cream colored pleated trousers which are indispensable.

[@Bright-It]

Thank you for being yourself. It is a challenge to stay on one digit size. I am always fighting to reduce 2 inches in my body, just to feel comfortable. I would not buy large size outfits, because I do not look good wearing it and would not be happy. Only way that works for me is to keep controlling my measurements and adjusting my diet every six months. So I can wear my clothes with confidence.

[@jodrew1845]

I wear scrubs for my working hours because I am a technician in a hospital. But heading to and from work, requires that I wear street clothing not medi-dress. I'm mainly casual so I picked up a pair of gray corduroy jeans, a burgundy cardigan and a quilted multicolored vest. I would like 1 or 2 scarves in either silk or cashmere but I haven't found anything that is luring me to spend money.

[@sihlempungose1578]

A satin high neck blouse under a blazer is a very classy and darling look that should be a staple of every lady's wardrobe. And ladies, please quit wearing jeans with blazers. Denim is NOT elegant or pleasing to the eye.

[@marleenboom4547]

Hello Gemma, I am watching your videos from the Netherlands. Love your videos. Thank you for posting them. Started Noom in August 2021 and in 8 months I lost 10 kilos. That may not seem like a lot, but I have been having a lot of stress because of my parents' health, their housing and then in February we found out that due to all that stress I forgot about my own health and I ended up in hospital. I have hydrocephalus and my drain was not functioning the correct way. As a result I did not Noom for about 2 months. On top of that I was not able to walk as much as I did before and I have gained 3 kilos since early March. I am now in my second 8-month subscription and I logg both my weight and my meals every day again. For those who have been told in the past that it is not a good idea to weigh yourself every morning; I found it very surprising to see that from one morning to the next my weight can go up 3 kilos (that was the most extreme weight change within 24 hours that I have recorded). Two days later I was back to the weight that I had before. Due to Noom I no longer freak out when the scale 'flips' like that. I now know that this is due to a number of factors, among which hormones (this especially goes for women). This all adds up as I have been using different kinds of prescribed medications for hormone dificiencies for the past 14 years. Thanks to Noom I now know my downfalls and what to do with/about them. I will keep on Nooming for the remainder of my subscription and I am confident that I will lose more weight. I also read the lessons in the morning. This is the easiest way to keep an eye on my intake habits for that day.

[@classylady828]

Love all the great classy ideas! I will be watching this video a few times to see what I have to put together. I have lost 30 pounds in the last four months - I am using the diabetic weight watchers program and it is working perfectly for me. I am not diabetic, but this program works. I love the crew neck sweaters - so simple and elegant. I seem to be investing in the long sleeve tees from Chicos - I just received my order yesterday and the colors are beautiful and the quality seems to be good (will wait to see how they wash up). I am going to wear my brown one today - it is a deep chocolate brown. I am simplifying my wardrobe as I lose weight. The weather is starting to cool a bit in the morning but still warm in the PM here in Pennsylvania.

Thank you for this. As I’m getting older, I’m looking for more classic pieces that will stand the test of time. I’m gradually building my wardrobe. I do really like having navy pieces in my wardrobe. I feel like they transition well from summer to fall to winter. I like using them as layering pieces and I agree they are softer than black. Now that I’m getting older, I’m finding I lean more towards navy than black.

I’m sure you get umpteen comments, but I’d love some feedback from you in regards to starting my own channel. I come from an artist family, my father is a famous sculptor and my mother was an amazing decorator and effortlessly fashionable lady. My fortè is fashion and everything I wear I get compliments on. I’m quite shy though and would love to hear your thoughts on if trying out KZbin would be not only a good creative outlook for me, give me a sense of purpose and accomplishment; while also inspiring others to find their own fashion style. I do believe every woman has one, but some need an inspiring “boost”. Anyhow, great job! You’re so genus, kind a kill it when it comes to how you put outfits together that suit a wide audience!
