Summer to Autumn Transitional Wardobe Wishlist

The transitional period between the summer and autumn months can be a somewhat awkward time for fashion as the weather is so interchangeable and it's hard to prepare for the day ahead. You need to dress warmly for if the weather is cooler, but still, need to factor in that there might be some humidity in the air. Today I've decided to put together just a few of my top tips on how to smoothly transition your wardrobe from summer to autumn and look stylish and elegant whatever the weather.

Invest in floral dresses

Floral dresses are great for the in-between stages of summer and autumn as they are comfortable, light and airy and can be worn with bare legs for when the weather is warm and with thick, chunky tights for those cooler days. There are so many floral dresses on the market with a large variety of prints that are perfect for your wardrobe all year round. I love this Warehouse painted Meadow dress because it features lots of yellow and pink tones making it a great piece of the summer, but the base is a beautiful autumnal khaki colour.

Add a pop of colour

To stay vibrant in the summer, but also brighten up your autumn wardrobe consider investing in bright, colourful clothing with autumnal reds, oranges and yellow tones that depict the colours of fall - crisp yellow and orange leaves and roaring amber fires. This feminine Victorian Tie top yet again from Warehouse would be a great asset to your autumnal wardrobe.

Grab a pair of staple skinny jeans

Skinny jeans look great all year round as they accentuate your curves and look great with almost anything you pair with them, from a pair of cosy winter to boots to sandals during the summer.  Dark blue denim jeans are great for the transitional period betweens summer and autumn because they are not as harsh as black skinny jeans on your skin tone and will make you look warmer even if the weather isn't at its best.

Boots are your best friend

Ankle boots are great all year round and right now there's so many to choose from. Look for a pair of statement ankle boots that would look great with a skater style dress for summer, but also look great teamed up with a pair of your favourite jeans. My favourite ankle boots at the moment are these Tiger Black suede boots from Kurt Gieger.

Accessorise your outfits

Finally, one of the easiest ways to adapt your wardrobe from summer to autumn is to invest in more autumnal accessories such as warming gold jewellery and handbags in burgundy, navy, khaki and coffee or hazel colours. This Michael Kors Sloan leather handbag would be a great addition to anyone's summer to autumn wardrobe.
