Transitioning into Fall | Outfit Tips

Happy Saturday everyone!

As we are reaching the end of August, the weather is getting chillier and long sleeves are starting to make their appearances. Fall is just around the corner, however the weather is not cold enough to wear too many layers, yet it is not hot enough to continue to wear pure summer clothes - especially during the mornings and evenings. My #OOTD in this post is a great outfit example for this transitioning period! To find out why, continue to read few of my tips on how to style/change up a Summer outfit so that it is suitable for this transitioning weather!

Tip no. 1 Colours

StartFragmentWhen we think of Fall, we tend to think of dark and dull colours (i.e. maroon, brown, army green and so on) By incorporating Fall colours, whether they are subtle tones or an additional piece, it helps to tone down that Summer brightness and prepares you for the Fall. This being said, the darker tone doesn't necessarily need to be from a piece of clothing, a simple change of lip colour would work as well as long as you combine it with one of the other features below.EndFragment

Tip no. 2 Texture/Material

Due to the heat, during the Summer months we tend to wear light material items where textures appearing on clothes are at a minimal. However, going into Fall thicker material starts coming out and the appearance of different textures increase. Those textures includes: wool, ruffled feathers, velvet, fuzzy fur, and much more. Regardless of the thickness of the actual material, these textures will give off that warm vibe you need for a Fall outfit. By adding even just one piece with such texture will be sufficient for your outfit in this transitioning period.

Tip no. 3 Thin Layers

Fall is all about layering. While it'd be way to hot to wear too many layers during this transitioning period, we aren't banned from adding a few thin layers or even just one simple layer to the outfit. Skinny scarves, a light jacket, flannel shirt, cardigan, etc over your original summer outfit will do just the job!

From a simple summer outfit - white tee, denim shorts and sandals, I have incorporated Fall tones of green and brown, with a little bit of "fur" and leather textures on my espadrilles and finally top it off with a cropped jacket.
