As we slowly approach autumn, nights are getting colder, and the flowy summer outfit is not enough to keep us warm. Get ready for colder evenings without saying goodbye to sunny days. How to create the perfect autumn outfit to dress appropriately for the colder season?
Through on sweater
The most basic advice is to carry a lightweight sweater during this transitional period. To keep your hands free, you can tie it around your shoulders. Start your day with a breezy top or a sundress, and stay warm as the temperature drops. The beauty of this simple layering trick is that you can easily take the sweater off if the day heats up again.
Ditch the sandals
It is time to shift to closed-toe shoes as the evenings cool down. Opt for stylish flats, sneakers, or ankle boots to keep your feet warm throughout the day. This is also essential due to rainy days that will be more frequent in the autumn.
Autumn outfit essentials
A scarf and hat can do wonders for both fashion and function. When it is sunny, they add a chic touch to your outfit. As the day progresses and temperatures drop, they will keep you warm.
You can tie your scarf around the bag while the weather is pleasant, and it will be ready to use in the evening.
Bigger bag
Carrying a big bag allows you to store your sweater or light jacket. The days aren’t as hot, so it’s not a problem to bring it around. You can use any bag that complements your outfit and has enough space for your layering essentials.
Longer skirts/dresses
Transitioning from summer to autumn doesn’t have to be about saying goodbye to skirts and dresses. It can just be opting for longer hemlines. Choose maxi skirts and dresses. They will keep you warm and still have a flowy vibe. Pair them with ankle boots to make them more water-appropriate and for a trendy look.
High socks
High socks are a fantastic addition to your end-of-summer wardrobe. They add an extra layer of warmth without compromising style. If you like funky details, try wearing socks with playful patterns. If it’s not your vibe, opt for basic black or white socks (depending on your footwear choice).
Dark colors
Embrace the autumn colour palette by incorporating darker tones. Implement burgundy, brown, beige, grey, black, red, orange, and yellow into your outfits. Swap out your summer pastels for these rich, cosy tones. Consider adding dark lipstick or nail polish to complete your fall-inspired look.
Autumn is perfect for some extraordinary second-hand finds. Outerwear is ideal to buy in thrift shops. It is easy to try on, made from steadier fabrics, so it is often well-kept & you can find various layering pieces to go with each other.
The thrift guide — enjoy style in an eco-friendly & ethical way.
Transitioning from a sunny summer day to a chilly evening can be easy with a few simple wardrobe adjustments. So, make the most of what you already own and get creative with your layering. Enjoy the crisp air, beautiful colours, and cosy fashion this season has to offer!
