If you’re not quite ready to step into autumn dressing, let these styling tweaks be your guide …
It’s that strange in-between time of year when summer sales are officially over, but we’re not quite ready to give in to the colder weather, wardrobe-wise. We’re taking inspiration from the fashion set‘s clever additions and finishing touches below to master transeasonal looks. Important to note: while we tend to veer towards neutrals or dark colours as the days get shorter, don’t be afraid of pops of colour or contrasting patterns to bring some personality to your outfits. In fact, we say embrace it! Take some cues from these global style influencers …
Wrap-Arounds
Tying a well-placed sweater or scarf around your waist can not only cinch you in all the right places, but it also comes in handy if you need an extra layer of clothing when the weather invariably changes at the drop of a (personality) hat!
Transitional Flip-Flops
Fancy flip flops were so big for summer that we’re simply not ready to put them away until next year, once the forecast cooperates, that is. Team them with white jeans or dark denim and your finest cropped wool coat to make it work while the weather allows.
Sensible Footwear
On the other end of the spectrum, on a bad day we welcome back-to-school loafers to keep dry (especially when paired with colourful socks), while we haven’t said goodbye to boat shoes yet either.
Hair Accessories
If Fashion Weeks teach us one thing every year it’s that accessorising your regular up ‘do is the simplest way to add a twist to your ‘fit. The recently opened flagship Arket store in Dublin has an enviable selection, which is also available online.
Colour Of The Season
A burgundy bag or jacket – anything really – will elevate your look for the new season as the rich colour is the perfect transition from summer’s pale pastels, before we’re overwhelmed with orange for Halloween or festive reds and greens.
