Autumn, the season of pumpkin spice lattes, cool temperatures, warm sweaters, horror movies and the excitement of the oncoming holiday season. What’s not to love about it? Well, one thing – if you have a tight budget or you feel like your wardrobe is getting outdated, the change in temperature and all the things mentioned above are may not be that welcome. However, let us not fret about little things – chances are you already have a great foundation for interesting autumn outfits and you need a few extra things to upgrade them. Here are some classy street style fashion tips for this autumn.

Transitioning From Summer To Fall Fashion

Contrary to popular belief, come autumn, you do not have to necessarily ditch all of your summer clothes in favor for season-specific clothing items. Instead of doing that, you can cook up new ways to wear them – combining a cool summer t-shirt with a warm sweater or a checkered flannel shirt, or combining your maxi dresses with a hoodie for a casual, interesting street look. There are many ways to approach this issue, so let us get one with some actionable advice.

Add Pearls To Your Wardrobe

The idea to wear pearls in ‘’unusual’’ settings (casually on the street) is not that new. While pearls have suffered a decrease in popularity in the last few years, they are coming back in full force – world-class celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson, Rita Ora, Katty Perry and even Rihanna have been seen sporting pearls in all manners of contexts.

The pearl has long been considered a very refined jewelry item, but now, you can wear them however you like without people giving you ‘’the look’’ (not that you should care anyway). When it comes to combining pearl jewelry with autumn dresses, you should go for asymmetry.

To be more specific, pick a BettyBlack Necklace or something along those lines, combine it with a long-sleeved sweater or a t-shirt. The same principle applies to pearl bracelets and earrings – you want them to be noticeable, but not too noticeable. The black necklace highlighted above, for example, goes very well with a cardigan. When it comes to combining pearls with casual streetwear, the world’s your oyster – as long as they do not stand out too much, virtually any combination works.

Try Out Extra Coatings

Another equally viable autumn fashion tip is trying out extra coatings. The idea here is: why choose one favorite coat for the new season, when you could just as easily wear two, or three, or even seven? This school of thought, embraced at Simone Rocha, Balenciaga, Missoni and other fashion authorities, is gaining more and more traction in the mainstream. They have started promoting unique looks that feature lots of layers composed of capes, puffer jackets, waterproofs, blanket throws and others.

Obviously, nobody is saying you should go to such extremes. However, you can use the ideas proposed by these fashion outlets as layouts for interesting autumn outfits.

Embrace Brown Shades

If you have been following the fashion world for long enough, you are probably already familiar with the ‘’x is the new black’’ axiom – it has pretty much become a cliché of its own at this point. The best thing about brown, apart from being season-appropriate, is that it goes well with lots of different colors pallets. From tan to sludge, it all comes down to finding the hue suited to you. Quicktip: mixing a glossy leather coat with chocolate shades with a peanut satin shirt and tweed trousers will result in the perfect autumn outfit.

Learn How To Layer

Layering, a common practice for hikers and mountain climbers, can be also adapted to meet the needs of an urban dwelling lady who is trying to get by during the fall season. Layered looks are not only very fashionable, but they are also very practical. As you are layering up your summer clothes, and if done correctly, you can create a snazzy look that will protect you from brisk autumn breeze.

When it comes to layering, your focus should be layering long over lean. More specifically, try to match up longer-length tops (cardigans, tunics, and so on and so forth) with leaner bottoms, like for instance skinny jeans and tights. This is also a great way to extend the longevity of your favorite summer clothes.

So, why the long over lean approach? For starters, it essentially prevents bulkiness, an common issue that comes with layering up too many clothes incorrectly. Furthermore, the long over lean method will retain warmth, but not to the point where it becomes uncomfortable once the unpredictable autumn weather decides to hit you with an unusually hot ray of sunshine.

Embrace the Practicality of Tights

So the temperatures have started dropping by certain amounts on a frequent basis, but not so much as to transition fully to winter clothing. What is the most practical way to approach this issue? How about adding tights to your outfit?

Adding tights into your daily wardrobe can be a fun and engaging way to play with pattern, texture and color, because they can be fitted with virtually any clothing item. And it is inexpensive, too – stocking up on tights can cost as little as $6, or $15 at max, and they are a great way to extend the life of your summer dresses way beyond the season they were designed for. A quicktip, you should consider looking for opaque (especially cable knit versions) tights. A pair of gray tights, combined with a skirt and boots is a great way to make use of your summer wardrobe without freezing come evening.

If tights are not your thing, you should consider trying leggings. Some of them, depending on the style and design, looks very similar to pants, with the noted difference of being very stretchable and subtle, which makes them very good in combination with a summery dress or skirt.
