Fall is a great time to audit your wardrobe. You can figure out what you already have, which can help you avoid purchasing duplicate items. It’s also an opportunity to think about what you need, saving you from random impulse purchases that look great in the store but don’t really work well with the pieces in your closet.

While you’re at it, listen closely to your friends because that clothing item they’re always saying how much they love might just be the perfect piece to incorporate into your own collection. After all, sometimes the best wardrobe updates aren’t necessarily the newest or trendiest. They’re word-of-mouth discoveries that make everyday outfits feel a little more polished and comfortable. Ready to get to work? Here are three simple strategies.

1. Determine Your ‘Go-To’ Item

Figure out an item (or two) that makes any outfit feel like you. Maybe it’s a classic cardigan that can easily be layered over everything from a T-shirt to a button-down oxford. Or maybe it’s a colorful scarf or a structured tote. Choose something that always makes you feel chic and put-together every time you put it on.

2. Create an “Anytime/Anyplace” Look

Sometimes it’s fun to experiment with fashion and trends. Other times, it’s comforting to know you’ve got an outfit that knocks it out of the park, every single time. Create and test drive a head-to-toe look that you love, including shoes, accessories, a jacket and bag. That way, it will be there for you when you need it.

3. Invest in Comfortable Dress Shoes

After a summer in sandals and flipflops, it can be hard to transition back to structured, closed footwear. That’s why ensuring your fall shoes are comfortable is essential. Sneakers aren’t the only option, however! You could also consider a sophisticated slingback, sleek loafer or stacked-heel pump with a square toe box (so chic, girl) that offers support and style thanks to Easy Spirit’s eFlex Technology. With built-in arch support, responsive cushioning, a padded footbed and flexible sole, shoes with Easy Spirit’s eFlex Technology make it easier to elevate your outfits while keeping your feet comfortable.

This autumn, have fun combining a few new wardrobe pieces with all your longtime, cool-weather favorites. Add in a few gems recommended by friends and boom – your fall looks will feel fresh and on trend.

And when it comes to footwear, remember: you’ve got options that are as comfortable as athletic wear, but as spiffy as dress shoes. In fact, with Easy Spirit’s eFlex Technology, you can choose a shoe that blends style and practicality to level up any outfit. So, grab a friend, raise a pumpkin spice latte, and enjoy the season!
