Summer is all about that effortless style, wearing breezy blouses and adorable graphic tees. With our three simple tips you can continue that effortless style long after the summer nights have left.
- Tip #1: Add Cozy Essentials
Keep yourself stylish and warm by reaching for beanies and scarfs while still rocking your summer favorites. Pair your favorite linen blouse with a chunky knit scarf to add some dimension to your wardrobe while keeping that breeziness. Or reach for a beanie with a fun graphic tee for a casual and laid back look.
- Tip #2: Layer Your Graphics
Some think that graphic tees are only for the warmer weather, how sad is that? Those people are definitely missing out on some adorable fall and winter outfits. Wear your favorite graphic tee from summer with a longer cardigan, or more structured jacket for a playful and unique style.
- Tip #3: Colors
Just like our dresses think about the colors on your top. Pair bright colors with a neutral and neutrals with a darker color to give your outfit that fall and winter feel. Be sure to get creative, by adding a darker colored cardigan to your summer floral top it can bring out that floral pattern and really make it pop!
One of the easiest way to make your wardrobe more cold weather friendly is by changing up your shoes. Whether you are into the knee high boots, or ankle booties they instantly give your outfit a warmer weather feel without any hassle.
When you are shopping invest in staple pieces, this makes stretching your wardrobe even easier. Stick to classy pieces and year round colors that you can see yourself wearing throughout the entire year. As you add clothes to your cart think of all the ways you can wear them, all the options are sure to surprise you.
When creating the perfect fall or winter outfit be sure to keep the weather in mind. Instead of thinking ‘is this fall appropriate’ think ‘is this weather appropriate’ just because the months have changed doesn’t mean it's necessarily time for thick jackets and knits. If you can stretch your summer favorites longer without adding anything, by all means do it!
As always, make sure you are getting creative in your outfits. Your style allows you to express yourself without having to say a word.
