The curtains have almost parted for autumn. It’s time to say goodbye to summer and enter the new season looking and feeling your best. Autumn is pretty much a transitional period from summer to winter. And depending on your location, the season may only appear like a mild extension of summer or a colder preview to the approaching winter. But if you have loads of activities lined up, you want to ensure that you’re properly dressed for the season. So, here are some outfit essentials worth adding to your wardrobe for autumn activities.
- BUY CLOTHES THAT CAN BE LAYERED
Regardless of where you live, you can expect the temperature to fluctuate during this season. Typically, the chilly breeze will greet your mornings, the sun’s hot rays will embrace you in the afternoon, and cool weather will return to caress in the evenings. If you expect to spend your entire days outside at work or in school, invest in clothes that can accommodate layers. For example, you can throw a simple leather jacket over a white t-shirt paired with blue jeans in the morning. When the weather gets warmer in the afternoon, you can peel off your jacket, rock your t-shirt with your jeans, and wear your jacket again when the temperature drops. But while you layer up, don’t forget what you wear under your clothes. You can consider investing in seamless underwear made with breathable fabric to keep you cool.
- INVEST IN A COUPLE OF PAIRS OF AUTUMN BOOTS AND CLOSED-TOE SHOES
The nights can get pretty chilly during autumn. And if you have lots of activities planned in the evenings, having at least one pair of perfect autumn boots is a must. Whether grabbing a few drinks with your friends or going on a romantic date with that special someone, the right pair of autumn boots will keep your legs warm and comfortable. It’s best to look for boots you can pair with different outfits. For example, a pair of combat or knee-high heeled boots can go well with a denim skirt or a beautiful summer dress. During the day, you can get cosy and comfortable in a pair of closed-toe or canvas shoes. It’s time to get rid of your flip-flops and sandals for now.
- GET SOME WARM ACCESSORIES
Warm accessories are essential during autumn. Hats, scarves, caps, and gloves will keep you warm when the weather gets cold and are also very easy to remove when the weather warms up. Plus, they are easy to carry along. So, no matter where you’re headed, be sure you have these accessories on you or in a bag.
- INVEST IN GO-TO PIECES FOR THE SEASON
You can also consider investing in a versatile piece of outfit, whether it’s a denim or leather jacket, a trench coat, a flannel shirt, or a comfortable cardigan. Of course, the type of go-to pieces you can invest in will depend on the activities you have lined up. More casual but versatile pieces will do pretty well for strolling at the beach, walking through the park, or even relaxing in your backyard.
