One thing about fashion is that it is seasonal. Your killer summer look might be the worst idea during Fall, worse still in the depth of winter. This could make it challenging to dress up during the various seasons. Going from Spring to Fall can be particularly difficult. It gets even more complicated when you are on a strict budget. However, here are a few tips that will guide you on how to go from Spring to fall in fashion requirements.
Transitioning From Your Spring to Fall Wardrobe
So Fall is here, and you are torn on what to wear with the changing weather. Your breezy dresses and fancy sandals just won't cut it. Well, you may be pleased to find out that you do not have to go on a shopping haul. With a few alterations to your spring and summer outfits, you do not have to spend plenty more on your fall wardrobe.
The best way to transition from Spring to fall is to find ways to make your spring outfits work till winter. By pairing up a few of your clothes, you will find this very easy and fun. Here are some things you can do to your spring wardrobe to help you dress up for Fall.
Maintain the Maxis
Maxis can be all-season if only you accessorize them correctly. Turn your beach maxi dress or skirt into a fall outfit by simply wearing it with long-sleeved blazers or sweaters. Depending on the occasion, you could get as creative as possible. Rock that Joseph Ribkoff fancy blazer with your maxi dress and turn up to your white-collar office job. Or better still, pair your maxi with a knitted sweater to nail the casual weekend look. The secret lies in picking a layer up that blends in with your maxi and brings out the best in it. To make your look even more chic, belt your layer up and accentuate your waist. And if you do not have maxi dresses in your wardrobe, it is definitely time to check out these fabulous all-season maxi dresses!
Layer Up
Layering up your clothes will help you come up with unique and beautiful solutions to the wardrobe conundrum you are facing. The beauty of laying up is that it maintains a great fashion sense while keeping you both warm and cozy. There is one basic rule when it comes to layering your outfits; longer tops should go with leaner bottoms. Your favorite tunic, for instance, would look perfectly great when you don it with skinny jeans, leggings, or even your favorite cable-knit tights. Cover-Ups are another essential part of your wardrobe this Fall. They are lovely when it comes to layering up and will never disappoint you. Layering up your spring tops will make them relevant during Fall.
Get Statement Jackets
Jackets have a way of turning regular outfits into neck-turning glamorous looks. The catch in this is to get yourself an all-season jacket. This may not be easy if you consider your options. However, it is not entirely impossible. Leather jackets, for instance, can be paired up with dresses and skirts to achieve a perfect look. You could also consider cargo jackets, military-style blazers, or classy trench coats for your outfits. The beauty of such jackets is that you can wear them all year round. All you have to do is pair them with an outfit that is relevant to the season.
Pull-on Some Tights
Tights are a heavenly solution when it comes to the transition from Spring to fall. By adding a pair of tights to your summer outfit, you can stay warm and still look fabulous in your summer dress. What's more, tights are very affordable. You can get really nice pairs of tights at $5 to $16. When shopping for tights, get creative. Find yourself pairs that are thick and patterned since they tend to give you a more glamorous look compared to the simpler ones. However, if you are looking for a more subtle look you can wear to the office, the more straightforward, less patterned look is the way to go.
Leggings Over Tights
If tights are not for you, then surely you can wear leggings. They offer the same adequate warmth that tights give and may be more favorable for your needs. The tip is to find a pair that perfectly fits you and pair it with your favorite top and sweater or jacket. You could even find leggings that are designed to look like pants. This way, you will have a warm, stretchable outfit that you can rock for any occasion.
Shopping For Fall
Despite your tight budget, you probably have to go shopping for a few fall outfits. Getting the basics while remaining within a tight budget can be tricky. However, if you stick to the essentials and get them right, you can achieve your million-dollar look without much of a hassle. So what are the essential fashion requirements as you transition from Spring to fall?
Boots
When it comes to footwear, boots are an all-timer. From your summer open-toe ankle boots to the thigh-high boots you have always coveted, you can never go wrong with boots. (Well, almost never). For Fall, you may want to consider boots that are slightly longer. Knee-high boots, for instance, would look great while still keeping you warm enough. You could even experiment with sock boots during this Fall. The trick in wearing boots is to pair them with a chic outfit. Your favorite skirt and leather jacket could be a perfect start.
Sweater Dresses
If you are looking for a fabulous fall wardrobe addition, then a sweater dress is a must-have. Sweater dresses are warm and cozy and, when paired with proper footwear, can give you an enviable glamorous look. Pair up your sweater dress with boots or sneakers, depending on the occasion, and you are good to go. You can even wear them with flats!
Tunics
Joseph Ribkoff tunics are one of the fashion world's fall staples. If you have none in your wardrobe, it's time to go shopping. When shopping for tunics, ensure you get tunics that compliment your wardrobe. There are plenty of options to choose from when buying tunics. Remember to get creative and, if possible, get a tunic that you can wear through the various seasons.
Scarves
Although often overlooked, scarves are the most basic yet elegant accessories for your fall outfits. A stylish scarf can turn the blandest of outfits into a winning runaway look. And with scarves, you never can have enough of them. So don't be afraid of buying an extra one this Fall. Just ensure your scarf is warm enough while still being beautiful.
