Ahead, pretty handy tips to kick off the wardrobe shift from summer. With suggestions this good (and made to garner real-life acclaim), you’d want to just take stock, and give yourself a fresh start by taking a stylish step into the new season.
Tip 1: DO Invest in feel-good bottoms
We’re upping the ante with bottoms that are so cozy, yet so spiffy. Easy wide-legged trousers look polished but feel like pyjamas. A trendy pair of flared denims creates a super-flattering and ultra-wearable silhouette, and is always a timeless classic. Keep things casual with a pair of knit joggers and a sweatshirt.

Tip 2. DON’T throw your classics away
It’s the season of modest styling, and a slight nod to all-things wearable and minimal withstands the test of time. Our picks: leather leggings (they’re an edgy alternative to distressed denims), a graphic white tee (it can be styled with your trousers to let the latter do the heavy lifting), and a black turtleneck (to layer under summer midi dresses).
Tip 3: DO Layer up
For a season spent indoors, away from the rendezvous, we’re cozying up only in the most comfortable of clothing. Our timeless picks? An oversized denim coat: it’s versatile and can be layered with just about anything. Another great option would be to wear a pair of biker boots with a knitted cardigan. A jewel-toned cape: perfect for days when you want to take your look up a notch.

Tip 4. DON’T shy away from mixing and matching
Since we’re not really dressing up these days, mixing tweeds, lace, leathers, and velvets together will make your basics feel ten times more exciting. Whether you’re posing for an at-home photoshoot or dressing for a virtual cocktail party, this trend is guaranteed to get you tons of compliments.
Tip 5: DO experiment with boots
Talk about à la mode covetables that are uber comfortable and instantly add an extra accent of cool to any look in your closet. True to form, boots are ruling on and off the runway. From classic animal-print heels, chic ankle-length boots, to embellished shoes in all their disco glory, there’s one to match your style.

Tip 6. DON’T forget to have fun with statement accessories
Remember: less is more this season, and investing in subtly elegant pieces is just good sense. Dangly catch-the-light hoops instantly elevate a button-down shirt. To boot, a statement clutch can lift any outfit, yet keeping it casual.
Tip 7: DO take cues from the runways
This season, we’re turning our attention to the runway. Think: animal prints, lace blouses, oversized polka dots, and plaid and pleated skirts. In terms of hues, the fall palette is painted in soft pinks, essential neutrals, and shades of gray. Earthy tones are back and transmitting a warmth we could all use.
