How to style summer dresses for fall
As fall approaches, we look forward to the warm colors and perfect weather that make this a favorite season. It is common to believe that in order to look stylish, you need to invest in a new wardrobe every time a season changes, but as always, our practical style advice is about using what you own in multiple ways for multiple seasons. Today, we are breaking down tips and tricks to make this easy.
Mother nature is the ultimate style inspo, earth tones are a fall favorite because they flow so well with the season, are timeless, and work well with just about everything. Who doesn't like a look reminiscent of nature in the fall? So grab your summer pieces that have fall colors and with a touch of a few trend items, you will be looking fall fresh.
Our favorite trend to incorporate in your fall looks this year is a classic and can also be taken into seasons to come. Drum roll please, leather! From jackets to pants and skirts, anything at all made of leather will be a hit this season. Leather is so complementary to any look, just add you’re seasonal knit to complete the look and take it into winter as well.
Tip #1 Combine classic and trending pieces.

Wearing a printed summer dress for summer paired with a plain white shirt converts your dress to a skirt look. Knot the t-shirt on the side so you don't drown your waist visually. The layering gives you the cozy warmth you need for fall and adding a classic leather jacket just gives the look enough edge to make it interesting. Paired with your most comfortable bootie and hat for an accessory and you have taken the whole look to a new level.
Tip #2 Multiple layering like a pro

There is nothing that says style pro than unexpected multiple layers. If you love to stand out this look is for you. The varying lengths of the layers make this look edgy. So here are the layers, dress, then blazer, then denim jacket. Throw on multi-length necklaces for a layered accessory look and you are good to go.
Tip #3 With the right accessories, loose fit doesn't mean sloppy.

Sometimes you want a cozy outfit that is not form-fitting. Bring your summer slip dress into fall by topping it with your favorite sweater. Add a belt over the sweater so that your waist doesn't drown in the look and throw on your most comfortable bootie.
Tip #4 Embrace your look and have fun.
Don't be afraid to experiment with your look by layering and trying out multiple combinations of clothing you own. It is about finding what feels right to you and if it doesn't look right just take it off and try something else.
