Eva Mendes has given us the ultimate autumnal outfit inspiration, elevating her basic black turtle neck jumper with a chic Parisian-style cap.

Wether you've taken the plunge and curated your capsule wardrobe or you're a collector of clothes who couldn't imagine where to even start with paring back your closet, we can all agree that having the right basic pieces in your arsenal is a game-changer.

Styling the basic pieces, Eva kept it minimal and let the deep black hues of her top and hat create a stunning and striking effect on their own. A subtle shine was brought in with the simple addition of two plain rings and her makeup was kept minimal with just a nude-pink lipstick and a complimentary pink blusher adding a hint of colour to her look.

Her hair was styled in an enviously bouncy blow-out, with her layered strands flicking in and out to create a textured and wind-swept style we can't wait to recreate.
