The change of season is the perfect time to freshen up your look and introduce some new style elements. Whether it’s your hair, make-up or clothing you want to update, a little goes a long way when it comes to fashion. With a few simple tweaks to your style, you can transition effortlessly from summer to autumn without splashing out on a brand new wardrobe. Here are five tips to help you get inspired.
Add Prints
Dressing up monotone clothing with prints is a great way to add colour to an outfit. However you feel about animal prints, they’re back in their droves this season, so why not treat yourself to a leopard print scarf or winter coat? To avoid looking overdone, you can pare down your outfit with dark boots or flats. If you opt for bold patterns, remember to keep accessories to a minimum.
Change Your Hair
Everyone loves autumn hues, so why not bring some deep tones to your hair? If your hair is blonde, you can experiment with auburn, brown or deep red. Dark hair will benefit from some copper highlights to give it a seasonal glow. If you’re feeling adventurous, the skin fade haircut will give your locks an extra edge. This intriguing style looks great on both men and women, and it can be shaved into a small portion of the hair at the side or underneath. You can even add shapes and colours to emphasise your playful side.
Dress Your Head
Statement headwear is making a huge comeback this year, creating the perfect excuse to invest in a new hat or head scarf. Printed scarves are ideal for the summer to autumn transition as they are so versatile. Wrap them around your head, wear them as scarves or use them to tie your hair into a topknot; the opportunities to create new looks are practically endless. A stylish hat will keep you warm when the weather gets colder, but it can also bring together an everyday outfit.
Try Tweed
Tweed isn’t to everyone’s taste, but it has featured on numerous catwalks this season. The key here is to choose one statement piece like a hat, jacket or blazer and pare down the rest of your outfit to emphasise the tweed. You can wear tweed with fitted black jeans, boots and a dark jumper or shirt.
Wear Plaid
American-inspired plaid is back in this season, so your checked shirts and dresses from last year will get a new lease of life. Plaid shirts are light and comfortable, so they can be styled with a t-shirt and jeans when the weather starts to turn. A checked dress can also be dressed up with heeled boots and tights with a blazer or trench coat over the top.
Whatever your personal style, getting your wardrobe ready for the new season only requires a few minor tweaks. With a few statement pieces and a little creativity, you can move from summer to autumn with ease.
