While it may still be warm and pleasant in the great outdoors, we know that the scorching sun will soon give way to brisk mornings and chilly evenings. As fashionistas prepare for cooler weather, it’s time to reassess our wardrobes for the season ahead. Although you don’t have to pack away your summer wardrobe as soon as the weather starts getting chilly, you can easily incorporate your summer wardrobe into your fall outfits. After all, you just might have more transitional pieces in your closet than you realize. 

For extra warmth on a particularly breezy day, you can pair a white tee or a turtleneck underneath a strappy dress or jumpsuit. To finish off the look, add a pair of opaque tights or patterned stockings and a pair of ankle booties. You can also wear off-the-shoulder dresses in the fall by paring a plain white tee underneath for extra coverage. Meanwhile, layering a leather bomber or patchwork denim jacket over a frock can help to create the look of statement outerwear. 

Outerwear pieces are key items for the fall, especially as we approach October. For casual weekends, try embracing the Canadian tuxedo and giving denim on denim a fair shot. A trench coat is also a must have item in one’s wardrobe, and can be tossed over your denim ensemble or even over a floral print frock. Add a silky scarf, pick up your favourite leather satchel and prepare to stun as you rock your transitional, seasonally appropriate style.
