Hey everyone. So I’m very excited. Autumn is officially
here, I’ve seen my first auburn leaf and the weather has definitely transformed
to a colder temperature. I love autumn/winter (winter being the best season in
my opinion) so I was so excited for it to arrive. The season has changed and
with it our wardrobes will too, so here are my tips and essentials for autumn
fashion.
1. Get some inspiration. Just before the
season rolls around I always get some inspiration so that I’m ready for it. For
me, my first port of call is Pinterest (my links here) where I search and pin
all my fall fashion ideas. I like to determine what will be on my big want
list, along with the surprises and spur-of-the-moment buys. For me this year, I
chatted about what was on my autumn wish list here, so please check it out! I
would also advise if you’re a blogger to do one of these type posts as they
really get you excited for the upcoming season!
2. Check out trends and ‘in’ colours. Among
the annual autumn essentials, each season will bring with it new trends, looks
and popular colours. Obviously we see some tones, like burgundy and warm reds,
every year, but there are always new ones! This year, I’ve noticed a lot of rusty
oranges and mustard yellows. Furthermore, another trend of this autumn includes
suede, so check out what textures and materials are in your local high-street
stores.
3. Get your essentials sorted. Look at
your current wardrobe. What do you really need? What statement pieces will carry
your autumn looks? For me, this year I noticed I needed a new bag and a really
good pair of jeans. So these were first on my list. It will make autumn and
winter far easier, as I can build on these basic pieces to create better looks.
4. Then get the details done. Needs some
new black tights? Get them. Looking for socks to wear with your new boots? Get
them. Need some rings to sort your autumn jewellery? Get them. Need a scarf to
finish the look? Get it. Get it, get it, get it. The simple pieces make any
look polished and seemingly perfectly planned. Moreover, how will you cope if
you don’t have these necessary items- because trust me, I cannot live with my
black tights in the cooler months!
5. Go on a shop. Treating yourself to that
new top and this really cute skirt will really boost your confidence. Adding
new pieces to last years old ones will reboot your look and make you feel
autumn winter 2015 ready. This year I decided to do this pretty early on so I
had a couple of really nice options. This means that not only will I not be
constantly re-wearing one specific autumn top (and having to wash it like every
day), but I will have a choice of outfit combinations based on weather,
occasion and what I fancy!
So there are my top tips for autumn fashion. I have already
done quite a bit of seasonal shopping so I’m getting really excited for wearing
them and styling them! If you have any other tips or tricks then please let me
know in the comments, I reply to every one! Thanks for reading this post and
have a great weekend, much love,
