5 Tips on Planning Your Autumn Wardrobe
Autumn is on! Aside from dealing with mornings when you can’t feel the sun, and nights that lack warmth, one important thing that should perfectly help you adapt to the changes is your wardrobe. Below are some tips to help you make that possible.
1. CLEAN OUT YOUR WARDROBE
In with the new and out with the old! Admit it, you need to make some space to keep your wardrobe to be updated. If you are still keeping items that you can no longer use, this is the perfect time to ditch them or give them away.
2. IDENTIFY YOUR KEY INVESTMENT PIECES
Assess the things you own and identify the ones that you should shop for. Basic pieces may need to be replaced. It is also the best time to create your shopping list that will cover your special events needs.
3. STAY UPDATED ON THE LATEST TRENDS
Scout for the latest trends to know the pieces that you should keep, as well as those that you still need to shop for. Check online shops to save money and time in figuring out the right pieces to add to your wardrobe.
4. CONSIDER YOUR LIFESTYLE
While personal style matters, you should not forget that your lifestyle is also an important consideration. Look for the basic pieces that can complement your styling needs, as well as your way of living. This way you can look good without sacrificing comfort.
5. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
An overflowing wardrobe is no match to a small wardrobe that keeps your go-to pieces ready. Less is more and this goes true when maintaining a wardrobe. Know the styles that work for you and stick with it. Look for versatile accessories and pieces that you can mix and match to create unique styling.
Now that you already have an idea on how to workout your wardrobe, it’s now time to know the autumn fashion trends that are sure to steal the scene this season.
AUTUMN FASHION TRENDS THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF
GO BOLD IN RED
Did you know that red is a universal colour as it flatters basically any skin tone? This is the reason why a red lipstick is a staple in a woman’s purse. If you haven’t included red in your wardrobe yet, there is more reason to do it now. Autumn fashion trends suggest that the colour red will take its share of attention this season, judging from the runway looks and its versatility that appeals to many. So find the shade of red that suits you best to go bold this autumn!
AUTUMN STYLING ADVICE:
Capture attention for the best reasons. Do not exaggerate. In fact, you’ll find it better to stick to basic silhouettes as the real drama is in the colour itself. Using red accessories and silver detailing also works to give the burst of colour that you want.
THE GALAXY RULES
If there is a time when going out of this world is cool, it’s this season! If you love stars, moon and the universe, you’d better check out the latest fabrics and accessories that can basically bring the whole outer space right into your wardrobe.
AUTUMN STYLING ADVICE:
You can add the entire galaxy into your daily basics. But you also have to keep in mind that size matters. To avoid mismatches and looking larger than your real size, keep the prints small especially if you are a bit curvy.
CHECKS ARE IN
If you are looking for fashionable clothing that will look good for day and night, you better take a look at the latest collection of checks that come in various styles and colourways that match the season.
AUTUMN STYLING ADVICE:
Keep it simple. Checks are in, but you don’t have to wear them all over. Wear it as a blouse, dress, tailored jacket or shirt to make it suitable for daily styling.
FEMININE FOLK MAKES A COMEBACK
Love feminine folk, but thinks that you’re too old for it? You should take a look at this season’s folk collection. This style has made a comeback, but this time with a more grownup appeal–which basically means that you can use this style for almost any fashion piece for autumn.
AUTUMN STYLING ADVICE:
You can wear feminine folk fabrics even for evening attire. With more modern accessories like blocked heels and tassel earrings, you’d look just as appealing and stylish as you wanted to be.
CARDIGAN HAD A MAKEOVER
You’ll never look at your cardis the same way again especially after the cool makeovers that cardigans have gone through this season. Aside from the usual knit and loose styling, you’d love the added shine and glamour that have been created through simple embellishes like glittery buttons and pearls. If you want a more modern vibe, pair it with denim or leather for that added swag.
AUTUMN STYLING ADVICE:
Not really into the loose and overly comfortable style of cardigan? Keep it close to your skin and add emphasis to your shape by using a trendy belt. The ‘waist’ is also back this season so it would be good to also start putting it into your cardi styling.
RETRO FASHION RETURNS
Some things are just too good that they deserve a comeback. 70’s retro styling is back and you’d better put pussy-bow blouses and vintage-inspired dresses on top of your shopping list. Think of retro prints and make them a staple in your wardrobe.
AUTUMN STYLING ADVICE:
Do you find retro too loud? You can go low key by pairing retro prints with denim. You can also create the 70s secretary look by matching it with a blouse that is made from satin or a color block pencil skirt.
Autumn fashion does not mean that you should look like you have just come down from the runway. Turn them into everyday pieces that suit your lifestyle by putting the right pieces together and adding accessories that should complete your look.
