Although there may still be a month of summer left, I’ve already made the mental switch to fall. That said, my plans for August will involve browsing through every new fall arrival and saving outfit inspiration in my camera roll. As a fashion lover, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The excitement surrounding fall style is hard to ignore, and I know I’m not the only one who feels that way. If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’re also eager to pull out your lightweight coats and sweaters and embrace long skirts, jeans, and trousers. However, before diving fully into fall, we need to consider the transitional period and how to adapt our summer wardrobe to it.
Since I consider myself in the know, I can say with confidence that in the coming days, there are a few things you can expect to see: tunics layered over denim, shrugs paired with tank tops and trousers, and silk blouses styled with Bermuda shorts. Sarongs or pareo skirts will also be reimagined outside their beach context, styled with everyday items like button-down shirts and baby tees. For accessories, brooches will adorn simple tank tops, adding freshness, while colorful handbags and cluster earrings will bring personality to all types of outfits. Kitten-heel thong sandals will continue to dominate.
