STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Transitions
12Sep ’11
While the English weather has been cooling down for a good while, I'm still posted in the States until the middle of the month and its only just starting to taper off in Chicago! Fashionistas and Fashionistos alike find themselves in a constant state of give and take with the changing climate. We still want to sport our summer duds but its starting to get a little too chilly to do it. The lovely CollegeFashionista editor Amy Levin likes to call this season "Sall", a term I think I'm going to have to borrow from her. The Fashionista for this week also did a great job of seamlessly blending her fall and summer wardrobes, but in a much brighter way! Personally I'm all for transitioning your brights and florals into fall wear. It's a huge misconception, if you ask me, that fall and winter should narrow your colour options down to neutrals and darks. Rock an outfit that truly stands out and brings those bright reds and corals to the table.
Adding a cardigan or light blazer is a great way to transition any cute romper or sundress into the perfect fall ensemble. This stylish lady got it right when pairing her bright red cardigan (a stand out piece on its own!) with her fantastically fashionable tiered romper. When looking at your options of what outerwear to pair with your main piece of clothing, pick a simple one or two colored item. For example try a cardigan with colored buttons for a little more fun, paired with a romper with a stand out pattern on it.
And don't worry fellas, this advice works for you, too! Just grab your favorite button-down short sleeve shirt, shorts and pair with a great cardigan (or maybe even try a corduroy blazer with a vintage feel) and you're good to go!
Style On,
