How To Transition To Your Fall Wardrobe

Fall is a great season for fashion because you can create stylish outfits by layering different pieces to stay warm and comfortable while still looking chic. However, here in the South, you're probably experiencing hot or warm weather during the fall. So how can we dress for fall without having a heat stroke? I got you! Here, I have compiled a list of fall transitional pieces so that you can create stylish and comfortable outfits that incorporate elements of fall fashion without overheating.

Maxi Jean Skirt

A maxi denim skirt is a versatile and stylish transitional piece for fall. It can pair nicely with several different pieces in your closet. Couple your maxi denim skirt with a cozy sweater and add ankle boots or knee-high boots. If it's not quite sweater weather yet, match the skirt with a neutral tank and shades. Really, the opportunities are endless making the maxi denim skirt an essential for both your fall and transitional closet.

Cardigans

There's a cardigan style for everyone. Whether you prefer chunky knits, lightweight open-front styles, or oversized designs, you can find a cardigan that suits your personal style and the weather. Cardigans are also easy to take on and off, making them ideal for the changing fall weather. You can button them up or leave them open, depending on the temperature

Trousers

Lightweight trousers are a fantastic fall transitional piece because they offer comfort and style as the weather begins to cool down. Fall weather can be quite variable, with chilly mornings and warmer afternoons. Lightweight trousers provide comfort during these temperature fluctuations. They offer some protection from the cool morning air while still allowing your legs to breathe as the day warms up. Keep in mind when choosing lightweight trousers for the fall, consider the specific materials, styles, and colors that best fit your personal style and the activities you have planned. Fabrics like cotton, linen, and lightweight wool can be good options for fall-transitional trousers, as they balance comfort and style effectively.

Knit sweater

A loosely knit sweater is the perfect layering item to offer a layer of warmth without being overly heavy or stifling. These sweaters often have a relaxed, casual look, which is well-suited to the laid-back feel of the fall season. They can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion, and offer a timeless, classic style. I always keep one in my school bag to throw on and take off between classes!

Sweater vest

If I could only choose one fall transitional piece, a sweater vest would definitely be my star item. Sweater vests are ideal for layering. During the transitional fall period, vests are easily paired with a variety of outfits. They look great alone, over a button-down shirt, a T-shirt, or even a turtleneck. This flexibility allows you to adapt your outfit to different settings and occasions. Sweater vests can add a touch of style and sophistication to your fall wardrobe. They come in various patterns, textures, and colors, making it easy to express your personal style and elevate your overall look.

Ballet flats

Flats have been all the rage this season coming in various styles and materials, including leather, suede, and fabric. These options allow you to match them with different fall clothing, from jeans to dresses and skirts. You can find flats in a wide range of colors to suit your personal style. Warm them up with patterned socks such as lace or knit.

Now that we've discussed individual pieces let's talk about color pallets. The easiest way to adapt your wardrobe for fall is by collecting items that are in a more neutral color pallet. Shades such as beige, camel, and taupe are versatile and can serve as the foundation of your fall wardrobe. They provide a timeless, elegant look and pair well with other fall colors. Deep red adds a pop of warmth and vibrancy to your outfits, perfect for a pair of boots or a purse. Navy, Plum, and dark purple serve as a great alternatives for black.

P.S. Fall is by far my favorite season for fashion!
