Fashion dilemma of the week

THIS IS HOW YOU WEAR YOUR FAVORITE SUMMER ITEMS IN AUTUMN

Okay guys, I'm not going to beat around the bush: autumn starts on Wednesday. And when you say autumn, you say unpredictable weather. Because when it seems like it's going to freeze lightly, you might just end up on a terrace a few days later on a lovely late summer day. And I haven't even mentioned those oh so lovely autumn storms and windless days that play games with us. Anyway, thick fog or clear blue skies make it so that you’re rummaging through your summer dresses and turtlenecks in the morning, I get that right away. Unfortunately, I can't predict the weather for you for the coming month, but I can tell you how to create the perfect look by mixing your summer and winter wardrobe. Because even though it's almost autumn, we want to enjoy those summer items for as long as possible.

Tights vs bare legs

When you first put on tights, it does depend a bit on whether you're a cold person or if you can easily brave the cold. In any case, tights are definitely the perfect solution to wear dresses and skirts longer. And as cute as a knee-length pleated skirt or one made of tulle is, these types of skirts are better worn without tights. Dresses above the knee and mini skirts do work really well over tights.

Biker boots and jackets

You might think otherwise, but those bare legs can handle the cold much better if you wear good boots. And those super cool pleated skirts made of tulle happen to look really great underneath. Sweater on top, biker jacket over the shoulders; with heavy fabrics like leather and denim, you rock your summer items perfectly during autumn.

Choose your color

This summer we've seen the craziest prints, brightest colors, and flowiest fabrics. And actually, we don't have to say goodbye to that just yet. The trick is in downgrading it. So try to combine these types of items with somewhat darker colors, heavier fabrics, and especially work with layers.
