Today marks the first official day of fall. It’s that awkward time of year when you don’t know whether to pull out the wool coat or slip into your summer dress one last time. Well, why not start from the ground up when shopping this season instead of hitting the latest trends? Think: crisp button-downs, durable leather jackets, and bags that go with everything.

Those designer “dad sneakers” you’ve been eyeing since the Fall shows might be out of style by the time you can actually afford them, and balaclavas . . . well, they’re not an everyday accessory. For a fall wardrobe that will not only last but help you feel polished, opt for a few of the basics, below. From a pair of classic sneakers you’ll wear for years to a polished blazer for the office, here are 21 refreshing pieces to stock up on now.
