While your heart may be breaking from having to say goodbye to summer, your wardrobe shouldn’t suffer. Although we Southern Californians can’t live without our beloved sandals and sundresses, it’s time to start thinking fall and find warmer but just as cute alternatives. Ditch that boring old sweater and slip into something much more exciting. Here are a few wardrobe staples to get you through fall and winter with an ample amount of style and presence.
Leather is the essence of fall. Those pieces that have been stowed away in the back of your closet, too heavy to wear the past few months, can now be eased into. Especially in the evenings when the temperature drops quite substantially when compared to the daytime. Invest in a quality leather jacket, one that fits both your style and stature. Leather pieces are timeless and can last a lifetime when properly cared for. They add the perfect edge to any outfit.
There is an assortment of styles and trends when it comes to choosing the right coat. Military inspired trench coats in oversized silhouettes, specifically ones with a longer length and prominent hardware, are must-haves this season. Sleek tailoring balances proportions to keep the look chic rather than disheveled. Clean-lined and classic, the feminine peplum style features a cinched waist for a slimming effect. Quilted jackets don’t have to be ultra puffy. They have lightweight stylish options with an added bonus of being water and stain resistant. Without looking unflattering, some coats may have a slight boxy appearance to accommodate layers. Peacoats look amazing dressed up or worn casually.
Whether you’re a minimalist or inventive, these essential pieces are found in stunning rich colors and classic neutrals. Neutrals include earth tones such as olive green and shades of brown or even lighter hues in blush pink and ivory. Royal blue and deep red are the go-to bold colors of the season. With the abundance of choices, there has never been a better excuse to update your outerwear. Think of it as an investment that you will cherish for years to come.
