The Ultimate Fall Clothing Essentials
October 15, 2026
Fall is here, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with some warmer pieces. To help you find inspiration, we headed to CF Rideau Centre and found great choices from Abercrombie & Fitch, Uniqlo, and Levi’s.

Start with a Cozy Sweater & Classic Denim
Our first stop was Abercrombie & Fitch, where we found two pieces that are perfect for building a fall wardrobe. First up is the Cashmere Crew Sweater. A good-quality sweater is always worth having in your closet, especially when the temperatures start to drop. Cashmere is soft, warm, and comfortable, making this sweater an easy choice for chilly fall days. Wear it on its own or layer it over a shirt for an effortlessly cozy look.
We paired the sweater with the Curve Love High Rise Wide Leg Jeans in blue. You can never go wrong with a classic pair of blue jeans, they’re versatile, easy to style, and can be paired with almost anything already in your wardrobe. The wide-leg silhouette adds a relaxed feel to the outfit while keeping the look effortlessly polished.

Layer Up with a Trench Coat & The Perfect Knit Dress
We headed over to Uniqlo to find the perfect fall layers. We chose a wool-blend trench coat in black, a timeless fall staple. The wool blend adds warmth for cooler days, while the black colour makes it easy to pair with the rest of your wardrobe. If black isn’t your colour, the trench coat is also available in brown.
Underneath the coat, we chose the Sleeveless Washable Ribbed Knit Dress. This fitted ribbed knit dress is a versatile piece that can work for a variety of occasions. Dress it up with boots and accessories, or keep it casual with sneakers and a simple jacket.

Add a Plaid Shirt for the Ultimate Fall Look
No fall wardrobe feels complete without a classic plaid shirt. At Levi’s, we found the Boxy Western Flannel Long Sleeve Shirt in the men’s section. Its relaxed fit and cozy flannel fabric make it perfect for layering on crisp autumn days.
We paired it with the 501 ’90s Women’s Jeans for a casual, everyday look. Blue denim is a classic, but don’t forget about black jeans for another easy option.
Start Your Fall Wardrobe!
These pieces are the perfect starting point for creating the perfect fall wardrobe. Whether you’re looking for something casual for everyday wear or pieces that can easily be dressed up, the CF Rideau Centre has plenty of options to help you transition your wardrobe into the new season.
