As daylight curtails to shorter lengths, fall tiptoes its way into season. Summer was abundant of tank tops, shorts, neon colors and sandals. However, there are crafty ways to implement fall elements into a summer wardrobe.
SHORT AND SWEET
Shorter, bolder shorts in a wide variety of fabrics such as denim, corduroy and cargo were a hit this summer. Trendy fashionistas wore print shorts, making an even bolder statement.
Instead of wearing shorts with tank tops or T-shirts, put on a sweater or cardigan and pair it with a scarf for fall. A covered body with exposed legs can make a daring fall statement.
DENIM DETAILS
A piece of denim clothing added texture and variety in a summer outfit. Whether it was a vest or a pair of shorts, denim made an outfit stand out among plain, cotton looks.
A great denim shirt is always a wise investment in your wardrobe. Purchase one from a clothing retailer or a thrift store that has quality and fit. A denim shirt is the perfect look during a cool, autumn day with the sleeves rolled up.
There are an endless variety of denim jeans one can wear. Neutral-colored jeans are always in style. Buy a pair that has the perfect fit, and never wash them. When washed even once, denim loses its texture and color.
PRINTS AND PATTERNS
Prints have been a huge trend during the summer, and it will carry on into the fall. A print shirt, pants or shorts always look great in an outfit. Do not wear two different items of print clothing together. One piece will be enough to catch the eye, but two different prints can be an eyesore.
BOOTS BINGE
Despite the scorching temperatures, bulky boots were worn into the summer months. Leather or canvas boots puts a summer outfit together, and for men, it adds an element of masculinity. The same goes for fall.
COLOR SURGE
A wide variety of color was splashed across outfits during the summer. Neon colors were popular and put in additional visual interest to a look. Instead of wearing color from head to toe, add a colorful article of clothing or a bright accessory in a neutral, fall outfit.
COZY KNITS
Knit shirts and tank tops were incredibly popular during the summer. Stylish women loved their colorful knit tops, some in '90s style midriff cuts.
For fall, wear those knits with a cami or T-shirt underneath. In addition, a great variety of knit shirts, sweaters and skirts will be available across all fashion retailers. Implement a piece of knit clothing in an autumn outfit for a cozy look.
