Even though the temperatures are still soaring into the 90’s, it’s time to think about items in our wardrobe that will help us make the transition from summer to Fall. These transitional pieces are basic ones that enable us to use our summer items for as log as possible.
Here are a few of my favorite pieces that help me make the transition from summer to fall seamlessly.
A blazer is an item that lets us go into the autumn months without worry. You can wear a blazer over any of your summer attire and it creates and pulled together and function look. Whether its a tank top or sundress, layering it with a blazer is always classy and stylish. When the colder months hit, just replace the sundress and tanks with long sleeve tops and pants. It’s such an easy transition.
In my opinion, there is nothing better that a light weight cashmere sweater. The fabric is light and can keep you cozy and warm when the sun goes down. Transfer it to Fall by putting it over a button down shirt, turtleneck or under a blazer.
A belt is an accessory that never falls out of season. During this time of year, I always take inventory to see how my black and brown belts are holding up. In the fall and winter we tend to wear belts more often. I have been using belts during the summer months to tie shapeless sundresses at the waist. I have used them to add detail to a great pair of linen shirts or even create a crop look from a longer top. When buying a belt, I always look for a good quality leather one that is reversible. Either it has two different colors or different designs. Versatility is a must.
You cant go wrong with a great pair of leather loafer in fall. Leather loafers are a shoe that provides warms and comfort while providing your outfit with the tailoring details that make it exceptionally stylish. Gucci makes an amazing collection of leather loafers. The quality is second to none. Check out your local consignment store for gently or lightly worn ones. You’ll pay a fraction of the price.
Whether you are a male or female, this classic item can be used in all seasons. In the summer months, I pair it with linen shirts, a skirt or even on top of a bathing suit as a cover up. In the fall, it becomes one of my most worn item. Whether it’s under a sweater or alone with jeans, you’ll need one of great quality. Power of My People, a Canadian brand makes one of the best ones I have found.
This is when I make the switch from my lighter colored handbags to my darker ones. Have a hand bag that can go from summer to fall, can be a challenge. I have found that if you go with a bag that is of a neutral color with darker accents, it can transition very well. Louis Vuitton has many bags that follow this color combination.
