1 - Plan to layering clothes

Temperatures fluctuate a lot in autumn. Mornings and evenings are cool while afternoons are hot. If you are at work or at school all day, you may not be able to change clothes. The best way to handle this temperature difference is to wear several layers of clothing that you can remove as the day warms up.

2 - Wear shirts that can be stacked

If you live in a place where the weather is cooler in the fall, consider wearing short-sleeved or long-sleeved shirts.

 

Here are some ideas:

  • Wear a lace tank top under a long-sleeved shirt with a scoop neckline. The lace will detach from the neckline to give you a feminine look while keeping you warm.
  • Choose a checkered shirt and a white button-down shirt on a white tank top. For a classic fall look, pair it with jeans and boots.
  • Consider superimposing fine sweaters or fine knit dresses on a long-sleeved shirt, tights or leggings.

3 – Take advantage of vests

Wear something on your shirt that can be easily removed.

 

Here are some suggestions:

  • If you live in a relatively hot autumn, wear light coats, cardigans, and sweaters.
  • If you live in a cold and wet place in the fall, consider wearing a jacket or long trench coat. You can also wear coats, cardigans, and heavier sweaters.
  • Hoodies are perfect whatever the weather of the day; they can also be easily tied around your waist when it's too hot.

4 – Invest in long pants and skirts

If you really want to wear shorter skirts or shorts, think about superimposing them with dark-colored tights for a chic and fashionable look. Long jeans and dark pants are perfect for fall.

 

5 - Go for boots and sneakers

Wear closed shoes, sneakers, boots or ankle boots.

 

6 - Take out your hot accessories

Accessories such as scarves, hats, and gloves not only keep you warm, they are also easy to store when it's warmer during the day.

 

What look to adopt

1 - Bet on the right colors

The weather begins to cool in the fall, so you have to wear darker, more neutral colors. Take a look at this Fit & Flare Blue Gingham Shirt Dress with Button & Short Sleeves

 Avoid bright, clear colors such as white or pastel. The most appropriate colors for fall are:

  • Dark colors, such as burgundy velvet dress, navy blue, and plum.
  • Neutral colors like brown, gray and black.
  • Earth tones, such as bronze, beiges, dark green and olive.
  • Warm colors based on autumn leaves, such as cream, gold, dark red and dark orange hues.

 

2 - Choose the right reasons

Some prints are more associated with autumn than others. Fabrics with bright, cheerful tropical flowers will be more reminiscent of summer or spring and are not suitable for a cool, rainy autumn day. Flowery and houndstooth prints are perfect for fall, they are darker and more discreet and blend well in cool weather.

3 - Take the right fabric material

 

If you want to wear a material that keeps you warm, avoid flax, silk and light cotton. Not only are they too light for fall, but they are often associated with warmer weather. The most suitable fabrics for fall are:

 

  • Leather, suede, synthetic leather or imitation leather.
  • Flannel felt and wool.
  • Denim and corduroy.
  • Cotton and lace.  

Some ideas of outfits

1 - Opt for the jean-boots combination

Both will help keep you warm as the weather begins to cool down. Keep in mind, that slim jeans are best fit in a pair of boots, while bootcut or straight jeans look better when placed on boots. 


Here are some suggested outfits:

  • Pair slim jeans with black or brown knee-high boots. A white shirt under a plaid shirt will complete the outfit.
  • Wear bootcut or wide jeans over a pair of boots. Avoid slipping them into boots, it will create too much volume. Pair it with a long-sleeved, round-neck shirt.

2 - Dare to wear skirts and dresses

In the fall, you can easily wear your skirts and dresses with a pair of dark-colored opaque tights paired with a pair of boots for a quick, stylish look.

 

3 - Wear your outfits

It's not because it's cooler in the fall that you have to pack your summer clothes classes. You can always keep warm while wearing a shirt and pairing it with a chic suit jacket or a light cardigan.

Here are some ideas look:

  • Cardigans are both short and long. You can wear a long unbuttoned cardigan and fasten it around your waist with a wide belt. A pair of slim jeans and high boots will complete the look.
  • Try a jacket in tweed or corduroy, the textures will add a little contrast to the outfit.
  • If you live in a cooler place, stay warm by wearing a long coat or trench coat. If you live in a warmer area, try to find an unlined jacket.

 

4 - Overlay t-shirts or tunics

To avoid getting too cold in cool mornings, a tunic worn under a long-sleeved shirt or cardigan can do the trick. As the day gets warmer, you can take off your cardigan or shirt.

Here are some additional ideas:

  • Wear a lace shirt over a similar color tunic.
  • If you live in a cooler climate, you can try wearing a sleeveless shirt under a turtleneck.

 

5- Mix and match

Autumn is a matter of contrast, consider combining patterns and textures.

 

Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Combine leather and lace, the two textures work well together because they are very different.
  • Wear a dark-colored shirt under a light-colored sweater.
  • Mix and match your outfit with a checkered red button-down shirt and a white t-shirt. Or a dark flower skirt with a black lace shirt.
  • Combine a fluid boho (bohemian) blouse with skinny jeans and boots. Secure the blouse with a colorful silk scarf around your waist or a wide, colorful leather belt.
