Ultimate Travel Capsule Wardrobe for Autumn ’23

Exuding elegance and ease – these new-season pieces can effortlessly take you from day to night. 

Whether you’ve planned an entire week of visiting amazing museums and eating at some of the Greek capital’s hottest new restaurants, or heading up North to experience Thessaloniki’s impressive attractions and lively bars – we’ve put together a versatile autumn travel capsule wardrobe to cover your entire stay!

From classics – including a trench coat and boots to this year’s must-have leather skirt and Mary Janes – our editors’ picks are both practical and stylish. 

Long Sleeve Top

Looking for the perfect layering essential to add to any fall outfit? Basic long-sleeve tops have you covered! Go for either white or grey, as these neutrals can be worn with everything else in your luggage – and never date. 

Jeans

No wardrobe (closet or suitcase) is ever complete without a pair of jeans. Whether you prefer a high-waist, straight-leg, or boot-cut version, you can never go wrong when paired with chic sneakers during the day and fancier shoes for a night out.

White Shirt

Roll up the sleeves, pop the collar, or button it all up—no matter which way you like wearing it, a crisp white shirt is another essential layer that adds instant style to everyday jeans or trousers. 

Leggings

We aren’t talking about the ones you workout in – we mean these chic vegan leather leggings you can wear to brunch, a day of sightseeing, or a late-night dinner. Pair them with your basic long-sleeve top, blazer, sneakers – and you are set to go! 

Riding Boots

Boots are perfect when travelling, as they offer comfort and versatility. And we can’t go past these timeless black riding boots that can be worn with ease – adding extra warmth and polish to any outfit. 

Denim Shirt

This relaxed shirt has become a staple in everyone’s wardrobe as it’s the perfect transitional piece. And don’t think twice about wearing denim on denim- as the fashion world’s obsession with denim is at an all-time high. 

Lifestyle Sneakers

Every traveller needs a cool pair of sneakers that are practical, comfortable and chic. Paired with leggings or jeans – they can be worn on your way to the airport, for long days of sightseeing, and any casual outing.

Blazer

Another must in our mix of travel staples is the classic blazer, which has become our ultimate layering tool. Throw it over anything and you will look sharp and sophisticated in a matter of seconds.

Turtleneck

Versatile and flattering, a turtleneck is a must-have addition this time of year as not only does it keep you warm- but you can also easily dress it up, or style it casually for everyday wear.

Trench Coat

A classic trench instantly elevates any look and this water-repellent trench is ideal for those rainy days. Pop it on and stylishly make your way around town, ticking off all the must-visit spots on your list!

Leather Skirt

Easily wearable throughout your entire travels, a leather skirt adds a touch of luxury to your capsule wardrobe. We love pairing ours with a feminine shirt and ballet flats.

Mary Jane Flats

Blending comfort and style – Mary Janes are an eternal classic that you can wear sitting on a plane, walking around a busy departure lounge, or while enjoying an aperitivo with uninterrupted views of the Acropolis.
