As much as I cherish summer, my mind yearns for a slightly cooler weather all the time. Not like the chilly winters, but mostly October/November when the air is crisp, when the mornings are dewy and when there is this hint of cold that seems to heighten your coffee-cravings. The time when a nice warm jacket and a pair of boots become your best friend…. it is just ahhhmazing!
Sartorially speaking, I love fall more specially when I am able to transition my summer wardrobe well into fall. There is no better feeling than stretching your closet for as long as you can, but without compromising on comfort and style quotient. Based on your personal cold-bearing capacity, you can definitely adapt ways to transition your wardrobe into the next season: in today’s case ” Summer to Fall.”
There are several tried and tested hacks, and I’m sharing a few of em that I feel would make sense to everyone.
I) LAYER UP
Think of parkas, denim jackets, utility jackets, cardigans and even bomber jackets. Bomber jackets are huge this season and they are a stylish option to layering versus those thick jackets, that are too early for the game. A good fitted bomber jacket that you can get away with or without zipping up is a must-have this season.
II) WEAR TIGHTS
Tights are the most easiest and the most affordable hack to transition your summer wardrobe to fall. Wear em with your mini dresses, skirts or even shorts, your look will get an instant weather-upgrade. Think beyond the plain black tights: try bold colors, fun prints/patters or even monogramme-heavy ones like this.
III) BRING OUT THE BOOTS
Probably my favorite hack for switching up the closet game. I won’t really dive into super high-shafted boots yet, but mid-calf or ankle boots/booties would be a good pick. This season cowboy boots are making a big comeback and I got my hands on just the right pair here. For more on the boots that are hot this season, check out this blog post.
IV) GO FOR BRIGHTER COLORS
While some peeps like to wear brights in summer, fall need not be any exception. Go full-on with bright, warm, rich hues like burgundy, mustard, olive green, wine, purple and just about any bright color. This is the time when you can wear bright colors and still not be looked upon like ” what was she thinking?”
V) THINK OF LUXE FABRICS
When I say luxe fabrics, by all means I am talking about fabrics like fur, brocade, satin, jacquard and all the luxurious fabrics that are sartorially forbidden in the scorching summer, not forbidden per se, but that doesn’t align the heat and wearability factor. I would wear a brocade skirt with a summer blouse, layer it with a pullover, a pair of fun tights and some pumps or ankle booties and just be as cozy and look as chic.
