Lightweight layers

Early fall can be unpredictable, with chilly mornings and warm afternoons. Begin your transition by adding lightweight fall layers to your outfits. Consider a lightweight cardigan or a flannel shirt that you can easily throw over any summer outfit. These pieces add a touch of warmth without making you overheat or feel too uncomfortable.

Autumnal colors

Fall colors are known for their warmth and earthiness. Start by incorporating autumnal shades into your outfits. Swap your bright summer colors for deeper tones like rust, olive green, mustard yellow, and rich burgundy. You can start by adding colorful accessories and touches and then move on to something more visible. The first piece you can transition is your handbag, go for a leather or wool bag that has some fall colors. These shades instantly give off a fall vibe, even when the rest of the outfit is still lightweight.

Denim party

Denim is a versatile fabric that works in all the seasons. Get eased into fall by incorporating denim pieces into your outfits. A denim jacket, jeans, or a denim skirt can easily become your go to this season. You can pair these pieces with lighter tops during the early fall and layer up as the weather cools down.

Knits

Knitwear is a well known and loved fall material that provides both warmth and texture. Start by introducing lightweight knit tops or sweaters into your outfits. These can be layered over your summer dresses or paired with shorts. If you want extra coziness, switch to more chunky sweaters as they add extra warmth and are also very stylish.

Fall accessories

Accessories are a subtle yet effective way to introduce fall elements to your outfits. Consider adding scarves, hats, and gloves in autumn colors and materials like wool, tweed, or cashmere. These accessories not only keep you warm but also complete your fall look. You can also play around with jewelry. Adding fall colors or patterns to your earrings and necklaces can make a small, but trendy difference.
