August 14th, 2018 by Jennifer Beile 3 Summer Trends to Take Into Fall
Summer may be coming to an end sooner than we want, but that doesn’t mean that your favorite fashion trends have to be stashed away in the back of your closet until next year. Fall is all about layering and transitional dressing, meaning it’s easier than ever to get the most out of your summer wardrobe.
Here are three summer trends you can take into the fall season, plus how to style them for the cooler weather!
1. Silky Slip Skirts and Dresses
Top your silky slip with a chunky knit sweater and a great pair of boots, and you’ll have a new go-to outfit this fall!
2. Neon Colors
The weather may be a bit more dreary in the fall, but that doesn’t mean your wardrobe has to be. From sweaters to accessories and makeup, don’t be afraid to bring your favorite bright and bold neon colors into fall.
3. Breezy White Dresses
Breaking the rule of not wearing white after Labor Day has become almost expected—fall and winter whites are now a wardrobe staple! Layer up your favorite white summer dresses, or look for a white dress with full, exaggerated sleeves and finish it with a pair of your favorite sneakers or booties.
