5 Ways to Convert Summer Staples to Fall Fashion

Packing up your summer clothes can feel like a disappointing end to the season. But before you pack away your summer staples in favor of winter clothing, take a pause. Some of your favorite summer clothes can transition seamlessly into fall. Not only can this let summer live on (in your heart and closet, at least), it can also dramatically expand your fall wardrobe. Here are some simple tips to transition in style:

Layers, Layers, Layers

Autumn winds can get chilly, so layering is an important measure that can help keep you comfortable. But beyond comfort, layering can also make your summer duds look more appropriate for the fall season. Just throw a jacket or cozy cardigan on over your favorite tee, and your outfit is ready for fall!

Add a Scarf

The right scarf can make nearly any outfit scream “fall.” Scarves work particularly well with t-shirts and dresses, so adding a scarf to your favorite summer outfit might give it the fall look you want. Not to mention it will help protect you from a chilly breeze.

Add a Pop of Fall Color

Some colors look much more seasonal than others. For example, a bright yellow shirt may look summery. To make any outfit look more appropriate for fall, just add a pop of fall color. That same yellow shirt could look fall-ready when paired with a maroon cardigan, skirt, or pants.

Pair Dresses with Tights

Summer dresses are so cute and breezy, but once the weather gets cooler, they may seem a little too breezy. To transition your favorite summer dresses to fall, consider adding dark tights. Dark-colored tights may look more seasonally appropriate than bare legs. Plus, a thick pair of tights could help prevent fall breezes from making you too chilly.

Wear More Boots and Booties

Okay, so you might wear boots and booties in summer, too. Why not? But wearing them in autumn can add an extra fall vibe to any outfit. At the very least, they’ll probably look more seasonal than flip-flops, and they’ll keep your feet much warmer!

These simple tips can expand your fall wardrobe without costing a dime. What do you do to style your summer clothes to wear in fall? Let us know in the comments section below!
