Fall Fashion Dos and Don’ts
Fall fashion is all about staying cozy and chic as the temperature begins to drop and the leaves begin to change. Whether you’re swapping sandals for boots, layering jewellery and scarves, or trading bright colours for rich earth tones, it’s a fun time to give your wardrobe a refresh. But before you head to Westshore to overhaul your wardrobe, take a look at these fashion dos and don’ts to help you stay stylish all season long.
DO: Embrace the scarf
Few accessories are as practical—or as stylish—as a scarf. Oversized knits and infinity scarves are perfect for chilly days, while soft cotton and lightweight fabrics like silk are perfect for early-fall temperatures. Don’t be scared to experiment with colours and patterns for an easy way to add pops of colour and personality to your look, too.
DON’T: Underestimate the power of a hat
A good hat can completely change an outfit. This fall, try structured wool hats, soft knit beanies, or a chic beret for an easy way to accessorize any look. Just remember if you’re incorporating a bold hat into your outfit, let it speak for itself and consider skipping other statement accessories.
DO: Layer your jewellery
More glitz and sparkle? Sign us up. Jewellery is an easy way to update wardrobe staples without spending a fortune. Layer necklaces of different lengths, mix delicate pieces with chunky chains or try combining mixed metals for a totally one-of-a-kind vibe. Try wearing several necklaces over a basic crewneck sweater or adding a statement pendant to a button-down shirt.
DON’T: Pack away every sign of summer
Just because summer is over, doesn’t mean you need to pack away all your summer accessories and apparel. Keep your favourite sunglasses, lightweight jackets, and handbags in rotation and pair them with flannels, boots, and other seasonal staples to help you transition into the fall.
DO: Refresh your hair
Your fall refresh doesn’t have to stop at your closet. A new hairstyle can make your entire look feel new and modern. Consider adding highlights or lowlights for more dimension or opt for a fresh cut that frames your face. For a faster (and more budget-friendly) option, try experimenting with hair accessories like embellished clips and headbands instead.
DONT: Sacrifice comfort for style
Remember the old adage beauty is pain? We’re not sure we agree. When it comes to building a stylish and functional wardrobe for any season, it’s important to keep comfort in mind. Consider how each piece not only fits your body but how it moves too. Is there enough stretch? Can you comfortably walk, sit, stand, and bend? Choosing pieces that not only look good but feel good means you’re more likely to wear them with confidence—and that’s something you simply can’t buy.
Fall fashion is all about making small tweaks to what you already love. Choose a few trends you genuinely like, add some seasonal accessories and have fun experimenting with your style every step of the way.
