Fall may not be everyone’s favorite season in terms of the weather, but that’s not the case when it comes to fashion. You may possibly be dreading the cold temperatures that will follow in a few weeks, but you can certainly lift the mood by reclaiming some of the best items from your wardrobe.
It’s a season where styles can change dramatically, or they can simply become a continuation of summer trends. That versatility is arguably why fall is everyone’s favorite fashion season.
Autumnal Additions
Summer can be very one-dimensional: If it’s hot, everyone of any gender wears shorts and a T-shirt. The only room for maneuver usually involves a summer dress, but it will hardly make you unique.
Fall comes in and some old favorites return from the recesses of the wardrobe. You can finally get out your best pair of black ripped denim jeans and pair them with a choice of tops.
The season sees a return to layering, and the outdoor temperatures dictate what’s comfortable to wear. If the weather is cooler, bomber jackets are back in, and they add a stylish look to your fall fashion.
If it’s wet and you want to protect your clothes from the rain, a durable fabric is recommended and a product such as Gore-Tex can do the job.
Whatever you like to mix and match, fall allows you to combine clothes in the way you haven’t been able to since spring, and that’s one of its first great advantages.
Embracing Fall Colors
Some people may not like the fact that fall hints at the onset of winter, but surely everyone can appreciate the color’s that it brings. The leaves on the trees turn a rich red and amber, and in that sense, it can be the most beautiful time of the year.
Your wardrobe can take advantage by reflecting those color’s. Burgundy is especially popular, and while it’s not always suited to other times of the year, the warmth that it brings is an ideal fit for the fall. You could even say that the combination of a burgundy skirt or trousers, together with a subtle orange top is the optimum look for this time of year.
A Special Time
Fall can be a time for celebration too, and for many the highlight is Halloween. That could mean buying a bespoke costume, or you could simply adapt items in your existing wardrobe.
This is where those black jeans can make a statement, and if you combine them with a black sweater, the near invisibility will add to a spooky look.
Alternatively, bright colors as worn by the Scooby Doo characters will work well. A simple orange for Velma, green for Shaggy and Purple for Daphne will save considerably on store-bought costumes.
Stylish Shoes
You can add as many bright colors and designs as you like, but flip flops will never be stylish. For many, the best thing about fall is the ability to ditch the open-toed shoes and aim for something that looks a whole lot better.
If the temperature has yet to drop to the point where knee length boots are appropriate, you consider a shorter pair in a soft fabric. Booties are a great option at this time of year because they show off your legs rather than change the shape of them as knee length boots will do.
If you’re not into boots, it’s a time of year when any of your favorite shoes can come back out of the closet.
Whatever your favorite clothes may be, fall is the perfect time to wear them. Unless the forecast is unnaturally harsh, temperatures are consistently mild, and that leaves you open to a wide choice of clothes and combinations.
It’s that versatility that makes this the most popular time of the year. Whatever your favorite combination may be, those mild conditions give you the perfect opportunity to wear it.
