Transition Summer Clothes to Fall
Sept. 22 marks the beginning of the best time of year — fall! With fall comes some of the best things: cooler weather, colorful leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, halloween, and best of all, fall fashion! Autumn is arguably the best and easiest season to dress for. From scarves and booties to sweaters and leggings, the options are endless. The downside of this season is you have to dress more warmly, with more clothes and layers — which ultimately means spending more money. But don’t fret! There is an easy solution to this problem. While summer is quite a different season fashion-wise, there are numerous ways to use summer staples in your fall outfits. All you have to do is make some adjustments, and you’ll be able to transition your summer pieces into fall.
Flowy Dresses
A well known summer staple is a lightweight, flowy dress. During the summer, I like to keep it simple and pair my favorite green dress with some brown sandals, which keeps me feeling comfortable and less likely to sweat. When fall rolls around, though, I wear the same dress, but with some brown booties from Target and a light-wash jean jacket. The thickness of the jacket will keep you warm, and the booties add neutral tones for the season.
Jean Shorts
Jean shorts make up the majority of my summer wardrobe. Not only are they easy to throw on, but they match with everything. This flowy crop top, bralette, and sandals are just a few examples. During the fall, especially the beginning when the temperature hasn’t dropped too much, you can continue wearing your favorite pairs. Here I wear my favorite American Eagle high-waisted jean shorts with a pullover sweater, a thick colorful scarf from Target, and some short brown booties.
White T-Shirt
While some say you shouldn’t wear white after labor day, I say, “Who cares?” A fashion staple — no matter what time of the year it is — is a classic white T-shirt. During the summer, I pair mine with sandals and some loose shorts. Once fall comes, I tuck the front of the shirt into some high-waisted jeans. For shoes, I wear my favorite taupe, open-toed booties and throw on a taupe vest.

Leggings
Leggings are always a perfect go-to piece, no matter the weather. During the summer, I love wearing mine when I run errands, so I make them into more of a sporty look, pairing my leggings with a crop top and sneakers. During the fall, I like to pair leggings with a long-sleeve shirt, a colorful scarf, and my over-the-knee boots for a comfy yet cute look.

Flannel
Flannels have become a favorite in everybody’s wardrobe. During the summer, flannels are mostly worn tied around the waist with jean shorts, tank tops and sandals, but during the fall, they become more of the focus in the outfit. During the cooler months, I pair my favorite boyfriend-style flannel with some leggings or jeans, a beanie, and some converse or ankle booties. Cute, comfy and trendy.
