While there’s still time to head to the beach, there’s no avoiding the chill that will soon be in the air. With the days feeling shorter and the summer temperatures slowly cooling down, it’ll soon be time to put away your favorite summer fashions and pick out some new ones for fall.
If you’re just not ready to leave behind your favorite flowing peach summer dress, don’t let the changing seasons depress you. Almost all of your trendy summer styles can be transformed to fit perfectly into autumn.
Here are a few tips on how to carry over some of the best summer dress styles to the fall season.
1. Add a belt.
Adding a belt to most plain or printed summer dresses will add a dimension of sophistication to them, making them the perfect choice for your work or evening look. Try picking out a belt in the shades of brown, orange, red or black to compliment autumn’s tones.
2. Keep it long.
If your summer dresses made it down to your knees or even below, they’ll still look appropriate for the colder weather. Throw on a sweater to warm up your look.
3. Add a scarf.
Wrapping a colorful scarf around your neck will instantly warm up your flowing summery look.
4. Throw on a blazer.
If you fell into the trend of open and cut out backed dresses this summer, cover up with a professional looking blazer.
5. Close in the toes.
While you may have loved pairing your summer dresses with your open toed sandals, switch it up when the weather gets a tad bit cooler by pairing your dress with closed toe wedges or closed heels. The lack of an open-toe will instantly give your dress a warmer feel.
