Fall is a versatile season in fashion. The weather is starting to get colder and it is an opportunity to dress up in heavier knitted fabrics, boots and flashy accessories. When the weather is a bit milder, there is also the option of wearing lighter clothes. To be fashionable in the fall, follow the color combinations typical of this season and wear clothes suitable for the weather conditions of the day.
Steps
Method 1 of 6: Playing with Fall Colors
The most notable thing about fall fashion is the combination of colors. Using this season's signature colors and patterns, you'll have a trendy look.
Step 1. Consider the combination of the natural colors of autumn
This season is renowned for the way trees change color and shed their leaves. Get your own palette of colors by observing the natural ones and giving preference to the typical shades of the metamorphosis that occurs in nature. Think red, orange, yellow, brown, and deep shades of purple and burgundy.
Step 2. Look for the most "in" colors of the year
Although the colors of autumn fashion usually remain within the same range, every year there is a list of colors considered particularly elegant. For example, in 2011 burnt olive green, coral, burgundy, teal green and coffee were among the trendiest colors. Find the "in" colors of the season a few months before fall to get an idea of which ones to look for.
Step 3. Stick to deeper shades for a warmer look
The more intense colors, such as chocolate brown or burgundy, give a warm and "pleasant" feeling, ideal for the colder periods of the year. To increase this effect, choose shades that are generally found in the warm part of the color spectrum, such as red, instead of those found on the cold one, such as blue.
Step 4. Use lighter tones for a more feminine look
Deep, dark colors are great in fall, but they also give a heavier look. If you want a lighter and more feminine look, stick to the brighter shades of the fall range, such as gold or coral.
Step 5. Think flannel
There is no need to adapt to the traditional red and black "lumberjack" look. There is a wide variety of flannel patterns, colors and fabrics. Flannel is usually worn when the weather is cooler, so fall is the perfect time to start flaunting your garments in this fabric.
Step 6. Avoid overusing pastel shades
Pastel colors are usually associated with the warmer seasons, especially spring. You can use a few, but try not to wear too many in one oufit.
Method 2 of 6: Choose the Right Garments for the Top
For the top, stick to what makes sense based on time. Chunky sweaters work best in late fall when the weather is cold, while cotton-blend shirts will work best during the early part of the season.
Step 1. Add heavier fabrics to your wardrobe
Think heavy yarn, wool, cashmere, and traditional flannel fabrics. Avoid transparent and delicate fibers, especially as the weather gets cold. Heavy fabrics will keep you warmer and will also be more appropriate than light ones.
Step 2. Wear more sweaters
Sweaters are a reminder that autumn and winter have arrived. Lightweight sweaters with normal or low necklines are great especially in autumn, when the weather is cold but not over the top.
Step 3. Dress in layers
Wear tank tops and bodices under low-cut blouses and vests to wear over long-sleeved shirts. By dressing in layers, you'll stay warm and give your style more versatility.
Step 4. Choose a comfortable length of sleeves
Dress according to the temperatures. During early autumn, when the weather is still a little warm, stick to short sleeves or three-quarter lengths. Use long-sleeved garments when it gets colder. Fall fashion includes a wide range of sleeve lengths, so wear whatever garments make sense for the day.
Step 5. Consider high necklines
The regular and low neckline can go in early fall, but once the weather starts to get colder, use a higher one. Think turtlenecks and hooded garments.
Method 3 of 6: Choose a Fashionable Jacket
Jackets are essential in fall fashion. Choose the right one to suit your needs and style.
Step 1. Choose a mix of style and heaviness
Autumn is a great time to play with trendy jackets and coats. The weather is cold enough to use them, but not so cold that you have to wrap yourself in long, heavy winter coats.
Step 2. Consider the skin-tight sailor jacket
It is a thick wool jacket model, which has buttons on the front. It comes in a variety of colors, ranging from black, to red, to olive green.
Step 3. Look for the bomber or military jacket
These jackets give a slightly more masculine image. They are heavy and made of insulating fabrics, but many are light enough to work during the unstable autumn weather.
Step 4. Wear a hoodie on casual occasions
If you're going to keep a casual look for the day, consider hoodies. Go for tight-fitting models with a zipper on the front over full-length ones which are usually wider and look a bit scruffy.
Step 5. Test the skin
Leather jackets come in a range of styles, from heavy and masculine to elegant and sexy. Plus, they are long-lasting and timeless pieces, so you can always wear them year after year.
Step 6. Consider the cardigan for warmer days
On a hot day with little wind, you may not need to wear more than one feminine cardigan to stay warm. Choose darker colors that seem more suitable for fall than the white and pastel tones generally associated with spring.
Method 4 of 6: Choose Clothing for the Bottom
In general, you should use garments made with heavier fabrics and colors. Avoid linen because it is light.
Step 1. Try on a pair of dark wash jeans
Lighter jeans can work, too, but darker ones go best with rich fall color combinations. Also, the dark wash tends to thin the figure.
Step 2. Consider other heavy fabrics, such as corduroy
Heavy fabrics are good in cold weather, even for pants. Velvet, which is not very suitable in spring and summer, is fantastic in autumn and winter.
Step 3. Consider knee-length skirts or dresses
You can wear them both when the weather is still mild and when the weather gets colder. Knee-length skirts are a classic, suitable all year round.
Step 4. Keep your legs warm with leggings, stockings and knee socks
They are especially useful if you decide to wear a knee-length skirt or a maxi-skirt that exposes part of the calf. Knee-length leggings and socks can give a very chic touch when worn under a skirt when the air is cooler.
Method 5 of 6: Finding the Ideal Footwear
Boots are the classic footwear for fall, but other types of shoes will do as well.
Step 1. Consider the classic fashion boots
The boots are available with heels of various thicknesses and sizes and with different heights. Those that come just above the ankle are more classic and go well with both trousers and skirts. Long ones with thin heels are also versatile and timeless.
Step 2. Choose a high boot to match with skirts, dresses and tight pants
Knee-high boots and those that go beyond the knee go best under garments that give the opportunity to show them off. Wear them with skirts or skinny jeans.
Step 3. Use a more double heel
Double heels have a heavy look, but you can cleverly combine them with fall dresses, like corduroy pants or sweaters.
Step 4. Put on your heels or flats
Boots are certainly a very fashionable autumn element, but heels and ballet flats are great in autumn, as they are models that adapt to any season.
Step 5. Avoid sandals
Sandals are reminiscent of the warmer seasons of spring and summer and often clash with many fall clothing fabrics.
Method 6 of 6: Using "Warm" Accessories
Use accessories that give a feeling of "warmth". You can give warmth, therefore, by using scarves and hats or simply by choosing jewels in warm colors.
Step 1. Try on scarves that are in fashion
A trendy scarf wrapped around the neck is very chic as well as protecting you against any cold autumn breezes.
Step 2. Put on a trendy hat
There are many styles to choose from, such as the fisherman's hat, the newsboy's cap and the felt ones. Try different styles until you find the one that fits your face shape. Once you've found a model that fits you perfectly, look for a heavier fabric, such as wool or tweed.
Step 3. Bring the large bags
Handbags with delicate handles are more suitable in warm seasons. Large shoulder straps with chunky straps look particularly stylish in autumn and winter, as they pair well with chunky knitted garments and boots.
Step 4. Think gold-toned jewelry
Gold colors are warmer than silver hues and go best with the browns, reds, and oranges commonly associated with fall.
Step 5. Wear jewelry that has other trendy fall colors
Look for necklaces with large coral, red or dark olive green beads. Consider bracelets with large charms in dark brown or orange. You can use jewelry to add a pop of color to any type of clothing, regardless of the season.
Advice
- Find out if fur is in fashion. Some years it is, while others aren't. You can wear real or synthetic fur inserts on jackets, boots and hats.
- Avoid upsetting your figure with too bulky clothes. Heavy fabrics and flashy accessories may be suitable for a certain season, but you should avoid anything that gives a sloppy, unkempt look. Go for bespoke pieces that flatter your figure, even when you're shopping for something heavy.
