Following the calendar, Autumn officially started on September 23rd, and so does the weather slowly change. From bright sky days to gloomy mornings. From sunshine rays to drops of rain. From bloomed flowers to colorful leaves on a tree.
Every season is beautiful in a way and we should enjoy the changes in weather and vibrancy in the city. To prepare us for the Autumn mood, let’s have a look at 5 essential transitional wardrobe pieces that will ease your switch from summer to autumn. Not going to talk about the wardrobe basics, like simple white tees or jeans. We should all own it and know about these timeless pieces.
1. Lightweight jackets
Time to take out all lightweight jackets that you have. From denim, and leather to more fashionable pieces. Probably those ones you have been wearing on chilled summer days or springtime. These jackets are perfect, as it keeps you warm as well as suit any styling choice you make. From dresses, and jeans to more semi-formal looks. My best way to combine these jackets is with dresses or tank tops. Those outfits are summery if they are alone, but if you just throw on a jacket on top of your look, it is suddenly more autumn-ish!
2. Midi, long dresses, and skirts
Dresses are simply perfect for any occasion and season. It is just all about accessories, how we style them, and also about their material! Choose mid-lengths or long styles for a more effortless autumn look. Pair your dress or skirt with jackets, sweaters, hats, or boots. Forget about flowers, palm leaves, or any bright neon colors, take to choose a more earthy and natural palette to match the season. Think of burgundy, brown, khaki, nude, beige, grey, white, or any darker color shades. Combine your long or mid dresses, skirts or even bodycon T-shirt dress for Autumn looks. They all go well with jackets, boots, sweaters, or hats. Be creative.
3. Ankle boots
Definitely do invest in a pair or two of ankle boots. There are plenty of styles to choose from, from flats to heels, buckled up to zip, or to different materials and shapes. They are a great necessity to your autumn wardrobe as they are perfect for jeans as well as skirts and dresses. Just imagine yourself wearing any of them to go to work, go out for drinks or jump into a pile of leaves.
4. Cardigans and knitwear
What is the cold season without nice chunky knitwear and cozy cardigans to smuggle in, right? Always pick the right knitwear so you won’t end up being itchy from it. Cardigans and jumpers don’t need to be boring! Try out oversized ones, turtle necks, poncho,s or deconstructive ones.
5. Twill pants
This summer linen was the trendy fabric to wear and for autumn, opt for twill pants. Twill refers to the diagonal pattern in which cloth is often woven. Summer wasn’t only about skirts, but also about pants. Hence this wide-leg pants trend is carrying on to Autumn and it is suitable as working wear or casual wear.
