It's getting to that time of year again here in
the UK where you can wake up to blue skies and think that a cute skirt or dress may be the right decision, only to later regret that decision by becoming
drenched in a sudden down pour and wishing you'd just stuck to jeans and a
t-shirt. Here are a few pieces that i have been lusting over for the current
ever changing weather, and the fall season.
The Denim Skirt - Perfect for the shift in temperature and those days that can be a
mix of sunny and rainy. Due to its versatility it is a statement
piece for this season. Style it with a cropped knit jumper on a slightly cooler
autumn day with some black ankles boots, or with a crop top on a warmer day and
some heels for a chic sophisticated look. Buy it here.
The White Waistcoat -
This is a perfect staple for the autumn transition. The clean white
colour and sharp cut gives any outfit an elegant look, and is great for those
days that are mild. If you require an effortless outfit that you can put
together quickly but still look both smart and casual, then why not add this
with some black jeans, a camisole, and some trainers. It gives you
that extra layer you might need on those mild days, without having to wear a
jacket that you will later regret wearing when it suddenly gets warmer. Buy it here.
The Tailored Coat - A tailored black coat will forever be in style each fall. This
particular coat with the added silver detailing of the buttons is very
chic and timeless. It can be warn in so many ways; out for drinks on a cool
evening? add this on top of a midi dress for an elegant look that actually
keeps you warm! Keep it casual with ripped jeans a t-shirt and some
trainers, or wear it with an auburn, mustard yellow, or beige dress for that
autumnal feel and some knee high boots. The options are endless! Not
having it in your fall wardrobe is just... well, you get the point i'm trying
to make. Buy it here.
Over The Knee - What's
not to love about over the knee boots? Trust me. You need these in your fall wardrobe!!! Buy it here.
The Suede Skirt - It's no secret that suede is one of the biggest trends right now, and
will continue to be through out the fall season. The trend inspired by 70's
fashion in particular, gives a boho/hippy affect and whats not to like about
that. I love everything about this skirt. Pastel colours in fall?!
This colour is perfect for the summer-autumn transition as it has elements
of both: the brighter colours worn in summer but slightly more muted, and a
thicker and more textured material often seen in fall fashion. On a sunny day
that is slightly cool pair it with some ankle boots and a ribbed long
sleeved crop top, continuing the boho vibes into fall. Buy it here.
The Chunky Knit - One of the most obvious pieces that should be in your fall wardrobe, but
also perfect for transitioning. There's nothing I love more than wearing
some vintage denim Levi's and a chunky knit, on a casual day with
confusing weather. This outfit is the perfect representation of
the transition from summer to autumn; autumn on top, summer on the
bottom. Buy it here.
Faux Leather Leggings - A personal favourite. I love to wear them through out fall and winter to
add a new texture to whatever look i'm sporting, and create more of a dynamic
in various outfits. On a day when the weather makes it impossible to have your
bare legs, yet not possible to wear a jacket, I like to wear these faux leather
leggings with my favourite band t-shirt (Iron Maiden top available at Topshop)
with some chunky boots for a grunge look, or the classic nude Pigalle
100's by Christian Louboutin for a more glamorous grunge look (if
that's even a thing?!). For a more wintery day I would style them with an oversized
white knit and tailored coat. Buy it here.
The cape - Basically
a giant blanket to wrap yourself up in. I don't think you need to hear anything
more than that to be convinced that it is a necessity for fall, but I shall give you a few ideas that could give you some inspiration. The great
thing about capes is that they come in all different patterns and colours, so
you have you a good variation to chose from. I love the dark plum colours that
are often incorporated in make up through out fall, and I decided that
this fall I wanted a statement piece of the same colour scheme. After
searching through the internet I stumbled across this one and I couldn't love it more. The muted plummy/grey tones are great for someone
like me who prefers to wear plain darker colours in comparison to brighter
ones. I would wear this cape with a black high neck top tucked into a black
leather skirt, and some black knee high boots. Buy it here.
The leather Jacket - A leather jacket can do no wrong. I find myself living in mine until it
is too cold to wear it without getting hypothermia. Leather Jackets will
always be a staple piece to any wardrobe, as they can create a grunge look, or
chic look and are incredibly easy to style as you can wear them with near
enough anything. No matter what your personal style and preferences are, a
leather jacket is a must. Buy it here.
The Oversized Scarf - Now if you are someone like me who struggles to shy away from an all
black outfit in the fall/winter months, then whats a better way
to incorporate some of those autumnal shades like camel into your
wardrobe. An oversized scarf works perfectly as a transition piece as you can
usually get away with wearing it wrapped around you when it's a little chilly
instead of having to wear a jacket that it is not yet cold enough for. And
don't forget that it is pretty much an essential extra layer to keep warm
if you don't want to freeze to death when the cold does kick in, in the
UK. Buy it here.
The Perfect Ankle Boot - And for the last of my Fall Picks, of course it would be the
perfect ankle boot. I think nearly everybody will view this to be a fashion
essential. When those warm summer days fade into those rainy ones and you don't
quite fancy having soaking wet feet, a pair of ankle boots are
most definitely your answer. I guarantee you will not have them
off your feet when the rainy days become permanent, gloomy, cold
ones. Buy it here.
If you managed to find the energy and will power
to read this very long blog post without falling asleep or getting bored, then
I'd like to congratulate you and hope you have gained some sort of inspiration
for your transition/fall wardrobe!
Thanks for reading & best wishes,
