Don’t rid your closet of those summer clothes just yet, ladies – there are ways to extend your summer wardrobe into fall! You’ll be warm AND stylish this season by following some of these great tips I’ve compiled for you.

Layers
Layers are totally wearable this season, so take heart – you can wear all of your cute summer shirts! Layer a long sleeve tee underneath, and you’ll look fabulous. Pair contrasting colors or go for a singular color scheme to really rock this look. I love purple, and jewel tones are very hip right now. Consider pairing a dark purple shirt over a black or gray long sleeve tee to really pop.

Colors
Bright colors can look amazing when worn correctly. Forego wearing all bright colors – you want to look fashionable, NOT like a crayon box. Add one accessory in a bright, funky color to spruce up a black or gray outfit, or pair a stunning red top with black pants and streamlined accessories. A little splash of color goes a long way.

Dresses
Bust out those cute summer dresses you thought would stay in your closet all season! You can easily transition a summer dress into a fall wardrobe staple by pairing it with a few basics.

A jewel tone or black dress will look great with a pair of opaque tights, black ankle boots and a long sleeve t-shirt to layer underneath. Spice up your look with a cozy knit hat and a scarf, and you’ll look as if you just stepped out of the pages of a fashion magazine. Très chic!

Make your summer wardrobe easily stretch into fall with a few imaginative ideas. Layers, a splash of bright color and those cute dresses you pushed to the back of your closet can make a definite statement this season!
