SIZZLING LOOKS TO TRANSITION TO FALL

Though the summer weather is still here and fall officially starting on September 22nd, now's the time to shift your looks from summer sexy to fabulous fall.  Pair your summer staples, such as cargo shorts for men, or summer sundresses for women, with fall accessories to transition your look.  Ladies pair your skirts with tops in fall's colors, such as burgundy, oxblood, navy, or deep green.  Mix in leather/lace accents.  Change your footwear to shoe booties or fall sandals in suede, metallic hues, or bold fall colors.  Gentlemen, fall is all about texture, color, leather and prints.  Layer your look as the weather changes with key pieces.  Transition from the bright spring/summer belt, shoes, and socks to deep hues, suede, and animal skins. 

Women's Fall Looks: 

Her belt and scarf shift this summer dress into fall.  Add animal prints or fall accessories in metallic or bold hues.  Studs, zippers, leather, and lace are hot trends for accessories and clothing.  Look #2 takes a summer printed dress into fall with a bold hued handbag and metallic belt and flats.

 

  

Casually elegant is the trend.  In lightweight colors this cape moves her look into fall.  Chunky gold accessories complete the look. Fall clutch paired with her cuffed long denim is chic and stylish as the temperatures cool off.

 

Blazers are the perfect addition to any outfit to take the look into fall.  Lace blazers are a hot trend for fall, or go with one in fall's color palette.   Pair it with your summer pants, skirts, and dresses

   

  

Men's Fall Looks:
A simple scarf takes this summer look into fall.  Trade in your flip flops for drivers or loafers to complete your look.

 

Gentlemen, white pants or denim can still look hot for fall when paired with navy, black, charcoal gray, or burgundy.  Add fall colors and belts, shoes to your summer staples.  For look two, cotton or linen blazers transition well as the temperatures change.  Go for a darker, bolder color in a fall hue.  Pair with your summer trousers but your footwear, in suede or animal skins make this look perfect for the season.  Add vests or sweaters as the temperatures really cool off!

   

This casual look blends your summer staples, white pants, light weight button down shirt now paired for fall with a lightweight jacket.  Complete the look with a dark brown leather belt or animal skin belt to be stylish and trendy for fall.

Happy Styling,

XOXO
