Cooler weather ushers in pumpkin spice lattes, fall leaves and the impending holiday season. While there are a lot of aspects to love, transitioning from your light, breezy dresses and strap sandals probably aren't one of them. So what do you wear once the seasons begin to change, and how can you get the most out of your summer wardrobe? Layering!
How to Layer
The golden rule is to layer long over lean. Matching longer-length tops over leaner bottoms will help stretch some of your summer favorites and helps avoid a bulky look. Our Pom Pom Yarn Cardigan drapes below the hip for a refined look that can be dressed up or down with skinny jeans and a tank top.How to Wear Summer Dresses in the Fall
But just because it's beginning to cool outside, doesn't mean you should pack away your cute summer clothes. A soft and cozy sweater wrapped over an airy summer dress is an effortlessly ideal fall look anyone can pull off. Our Eyelash Flounce Cardigan gives a festive yet sophisticated touch to any look. Its rich black shade also allows you to style it with a myriad of colors! Another fun look is layering a simple slip-dress over dark jeans, though be wary of the 'long over lean' rule.Invest in a Statement Jacket
What's fun about Fall is that you can shop for impactful statement pieces that change the overall tone and look of an outfit, making them more fall appropriate. A jacket or blazer can extend your wardrobe, allowing you to create new looks with your summer wares. Consider any one of the following:- A well-cut blazer, as they're perfect for both work or play, and instantly elevate any outfit.
- A longer (think trench coat) jacket made of a unique fabric such as wool or faux suede.
- A fitted biker jacket that is perfect to wear with dresses and chunky boots, or skinny jeans and booties.
