5 Tips to Transition from Summer to Fall
Oct 09, 2024
Are you seeing the glimpse of fall? The weather is cool in the morning and evenings but hot at midday and afternoon.
When temperatures fluctuate like this it’s important to know how to roll with the changes.
Today I’m sharing my easiest ways to mix and match summer and fall for these types of days.
- Add deeper hues. You can always pair rich, darker colors with lighter summer clothing. Start blending fall colors like deep oranges, burgundy, olive green, and mustard into your outfits even if you’re still wearing lighter summer fabrics. Swap out bright summer accessories for earthy tones.
- Swap your shoes. You can quickly transition from summer to fall by swapping out sandals for booties and sneakers. Consider wearing your booties with skirts, pants and shorts.
- Layer Smartly. By adding layers to your summer wardrobe, you create fresh looks. And if the layers become too warm you can easily remove one. It’s best to layer long items over lean ones. Example – skinny jeans with longer tunics and cardigans. Try pairing a cardigan with a sundress or a light sweater with a pair of walking shorts.
- Add a scarf. Scarves are a perfect accessory to add to an outfit. When it gets chilly the scarf can keep you warm and add a splash of color.
- Mix Textures. Pair breezy summer fabrics like linen or cotton with fall textures like knits, leather, or suede. A flowy summer dress with a chunky knit sweater adds both warmth and style.
Don’t get hung up on “rules” of wearing summer clothing after Labor Day. There are no rules. Get creative in your wardrobe. And have FUN!
