1. Embrace the layers

Autumn weather can be unpredictable, so make sure you have some key layering pieces in your wardrobe!

Lightweight cardigans, denim jackets and scarves can be paired with summer dresses and/or t-shirts or jeans for a more casual look.

Avoid too heavy of a coat (unless you’re keen on carrying it around) and think more lightweight pieces.

2. Swap out your footwear

It’s time to pack away the sandals and dust off your boots and loafers…

Wear knee-high boots with a cute mini skirt for the perfect in-between-season outfit. Year-around, trans-seasonal favourites sneakers are also a great go-to for more casual wear. On colder days, you can layer thicker socks for added warmth.

3. Break out the autumnal colours

As the leaves start to turn, why not incorporate the seasonal colours into your outfits? Warm rusts, browns, yellows, and dusty greens are some great staples. Tying in some of your favourite summer shades can also add a bit of vibrancy to the look.

4. Invest in transitional pieces

To make the most of your clothing collection, invest in pieces that can be worn from season to season. Whether it be a midi skirt or staple t-shirt, through the power of layering, you can dress a classic piece for summer or autumn.

In the summer, pair a midi skirt with a tank top and sandals while, during autumn, keep it warm with long boots and a jumper.
