With the labor day holiday upon us, the dog days of summer are finally coming to an end. However, in many areas of the country, the transition between summer and autumn are somewhat difficult. Warm days and cool nights sometimes gets our fashion radar is disarray. Here are some great ideas for saying a subtle goodbye to summer and a welcoming hello to the cooler days of fall.
- Add a cardigan! Whether it is that cute tank top or that favorite summer dress that you are not ready to stash back in the closet, all you have to do is add your favorite cardigan to it. Cardigans are light enough that you can still keep cool during the day, but also can keep you warm if you get a little chill in the evenings. Also, you can easily take it off and show off that summer dress OR put it back on for a more conservative look.
- Wear summer fabrics with warmer colors. If you have some loose fitting light summer fabrics that you want to keep during the transition into fall, be sure that they are in the warmer color palette. Darker oranges, browns, olive greens, etc, are great for autumn weather. For example, if you have a pair of dark colored linen pants, don't put them away just yet. You can still get great use out of them for at least the next month!
- Scarves, Scarves, Scarves! They are the perfect way to show everyone your autumn style. Not only do scarves serve the purpose of keeping your neck and upper body warm during chilly weather, but they also add a little more versatility to your outfits. Many of your favorite stores sell scarves that colorful and summery as well as muted tones for autumn. Scarves are the perfect addition to your summer outfit.
- Do you have those fabulous tops that you absolutely love to wear with those cute shorts and skirts? Wait a while before you throw them in storage! Wear your favorite top that you normally would wear with shorts and skirts, you can wear them with your leggings and cute boots. This is a great way to add some spice to your summery shirts while bringing into the winter. You can wear your leggings with or without your skirts to bring a little change into your outfits.
- You may have to put up the bright colorful sandals, but keep darker and earth tone sandals. These will blend in easily with the rest of your fall wear without taking away or bringing too much attention to them.
