How to Transition Summer Fashions into Fall Wear

 

 

My mom is wearing a white summer skirt. This skirt can be worn in the fall with a longer sleeve top or with a jacket. The old rule about not wearing white after Labor Day has been thrown out, so continue to sport those beautiful summer whites.

Do you think its too early to talk fall fashion? Think again. Summer maybe in full swing, but these beautiful summer days are already winding down. But, don't worry.There are ways that you can still wear those cute summer styles into fall without having to worry about the cooler weather.

*Mini skirts and summer skirts

Along with summer come the miniskirts.  These short, short summer skirts and summer skirts can transition into fall. All you have to do is simply add tights or leggings underneath.  You can even throw on a pair of ankle length booties or knee length boots to give them some added fall flair. 

*Shorts

Shorts are another great summer feature. Just because summer is over it doesn’t mean that it is the end of shorts.  Shorts can be worn all year round.  To take those summer shorts into fall, you have several options.  These options, of course, depend on the type of shorts that you are planning on wearing.  For a more casual look, add a sweatshirt on top or a long sleeve tee shirt and your tennis shoes. Khaki shorts and those that are tailored can be transformed into a more refined look. Add tights and a nice blouse or a blazer to those tailored shorts and create a formal look. You can also add a pair of loafers or heels and some accent jewelry to complete the look.

*Capri pants or ankle length pants

You can still wear those Capri pants and ankle length pants into the fall.  You don’t have to add tights, but they are an option.  Put on a pair of suede booties, some oxfords, or a pair of knee length boots.  This will transform Capri pants from summer to fall.

*Tank tops

Tank tops can be covered by sheer blouses or blazers to help them move into the fall season. You can even opt to wear them with shrugs sweaters or cardigans.

*Maxi dresses or sheaths

Those maxi dresses and sheaths can be worn during the cooler months.  Wear light weight, sheer, long-sleeve undershirts beneath these dresses to create sleeves and a touch of class and intrigue for the fall. You can also wear these with blazers, cardigans, and sweater capes. 

*Sleeveless blouses

Sleeveless blouses can also benefit from sheer long sleeve undershirts, shrugs, and cardigans.  You can also wear these blouses underneath a blazer to give them added style.

Summer is almost over, but it doesn’t mean you have to put away all of your summer fashions when the wear changes. By adding cardigans, shrugs, and long, sleeve undershirts to sleeveless shirts, blouses, and dresses, you can continue to wear those summer shirts into the fall. Tights and leggings can help shorts make the transition from summer to fall.  No matter what your style, you continue to wear many of your summer fashions despite the cooler weather.
