Guide to the transitional outfits for the mid-seasons To avoid struggling with layers of fabrics, colors and patterns
Autumn is already on-going, and having to say goodbye to tops, mini skirts and light fabrics can be quite sad. How should we dress in this crazy climatic conditions ranging from 23° and 10°? To overcome the transition phase from hot to cold season, the balance between summer wardrobe and seasonal pieces can save us, allowing us to create looks based on the golden rule of layering.
Everyone has their own personal and unique way to create outfits, but the ideal pattern of transition looks usually follows an order where the first layer sees the summer basics lay the foundations, on which it is built a second "security" layer, with a cardigan, a light sweater or a hoodie. The third layer, the outer one, adds personality and protection from the cold to the ensemble, where the accessories will then take their place as the icing on the cake. How to play with volumes and overlaps, mix fabrics and feel free to show off looks in line with the climatic conditions? Here is a quick guide.
Attention to details
With the right accessory, like socks, those gorgeous sandals bought in the warm months are still wearable. But if the sandal isn't part of your style, the key to the perfect autumn look is to replace them with a pair of boots: from combat boots, again protagonists of this season, to square toe boots with square toes or knee-high boots... To elevate any look, bare legs on more serene days to let the pleasant feeling of air on the skin. There isn't much time left before temperatures inevitably drop to around 0, so we might as well take advantage of the opportunities! Leather bags and gold jewels complete the look by adding personality and color to each outfit. Seeing is believing.
Creating transitional looks can be complex even for fashion addicts, between layers of fabrics, colors and patterns, but (unfortunately or fortunately) this is only a short phase which will inevitably be followed by the wardrobe change for the winter. Stay tuned!
