5 Easy Ways to Transition Your Style from Summer to Fall
Can you believe summer is halfway over! I for one have been making up for lost time - hitting the streets, rooftop bars, pool parties and beaches with a newfound appreciation for summer fun. After the summer of quarantine in 2020 it feels like it’s time to soak up all the moments while we can, because you never know when the next lockdown will be!
It’s hard to believe we’ll be transitioning into Fall in the next month or so. My wardrobe definitely needed some updating after spending the better part of a year and a half in the house! But I am being more conservative with how I shop and how I spend, and making sure I can get decent mileage out of the items I buy.
If you are trying to keep your wardrobe relevant each season without spending a ton on new stuff every few months, keep reading for 5 ways to transition your summer favorites to make them perfect for Fall!
5 Easy Ways to Transition Your Style
from Summer to Fall
Layers are your friend
The easiest way to make a summer dress work for Fall is to pile on the layers. You take an easy summer sundress and top it with a denim jacket or cropped leather moto jacket and bring a whole new seasonal vibe to the look. You can even work in scarves - silky ones when it’s still warm out then thicker styles , like wool and cashmere as the temperatures drop.
Don’t neglect your accessories
The right accessories can completely change an outfit. It can take a classic casual look to the next level, or make a fancy dress low key cool. If you are trying to figure out ways to transition your summer favorites to fall, don’t forget your accessories. Keep your favorite summer bags and baubles in rotation, pairing them with fall essentials like jeans and a crisp white button down. It will be an unexpected touch and an easy way to keep the summer vibe going as temperatures cool off.
Yes, You Can Wear Pants and a Dress
Don’t be afraid to experiment with fashion! The slip dress is a summer staple, and one of the some of the most genius styling hacks I’ve seen on TikTok involve creative ways to style them. Why not tuck a summery slip dress into jeans and wear it like a camisole? Or pair a dress with dramatic side splits with a pair of leather skinnies and boots? Get creative with how you style and of course have fun!
Booties, Booties Rocking Everywhere
Booties are a fall staple, but you don’t have to wait until late September to wear them! Style them with your summer sundresses to keep rocking your favorites into the next season. I love ankle boots and Western inspired styles paired with a boho sundress and jean jacket.
Tone Down the Summer Colors and Prints
I love going bright and bold for summer, but as you are getting ready to transition to Fall, it’s time to start thinking about ways to tone it down. Stash away your tropical prints and anything that is peak summer; focus on the pastels, solids or more subdued florals to make the look work for Fall.
