When transitioning your wardrobe from summer to autumn style, it\u2019s easy to think you\u2019ll need to go shopping for a cupboard full of long-sleeved shirts and jerseys. Not so, according to the pros. Your summer staples can work harder for you in autumn and beyond, given you lean into a few tips. <\/p>\n
\u201cLayering is the smartest way to bring summer to winter,\u201d says stylist Robin-Jade Carolus. \u201cLayer your favourite summer blouses under a knit, then add a coat or jacket. Another way of layering is to add a long-sleeve blouse, tee or knit under all your strappy dresses from last season. And then my favourite, layering dresses over pants.\u201d<\/p>\n R180 at Bash<\/p>\n R1449 at Cotton On<\/p>\n R350 at Bash<\/p>\n This season\u2019s hottest item is the blazer. Backed by professionals, toss this over a relaxed look to elevate a casual outfit. \u201cClassic tailoring is making a comeback and a blazer is the perfect investment for winter. This season we are opting for a boxy, oversized fit,\u201d says Robin-Jade. \u201cThe blazer can be paired with many of your Summer faves, crop tops, graphic tees and even thrown over your favourite Summer dress. Pro-tip: for an even warmer autumn-worthy look, choose a blazer with a check print.\u201d<\/p>\n R629 at Superbalist<\/p>\n R299 at Superbalist<\/p>\n R190 at Bash<\/p>\n An old favourite. Wearing tights with your summer wardrobe is always a go-to in winter. \u201cThis season, fashion is pushing the boundaries of this staple with the no-pants look,\u201d says Robin-Jade. \u201cThe idea is to wear extra short shorts, giving the illusion of not wearing pants. No pants are the best pants anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n R379 at Superbalist<\/p>\n R330 at Bash<\/p>\n R2599 at Poetry<\/p>\n Another trend we\u2019ll be seeing a lot of this season? Knee-high boots. \u201cReplacing your sandals with a pair of knee-highs can take any summer hemline into winter, from mini skirts and shorts to maxi skirts and dresses,\u201d says Robin-Jade. The swap not only keeps you warm, but it also makes you look hot.\u201d<\/p>\n R950 at Mareth Colleen<\/p>\n R1199 at Superbalist<\/p>\n R600 at Cotton On<\/p>\n \u201cA black blazer is a timeless classic which which can be dressed up or down, it is the perfect add on to any outfit,\u201d says stylist Wagheeba January. Pair this with a white shirt. \u201cThis timeless piece is a must-have in everyone\u2019s wardrobe and is the perfect transition piece in your wardrobe. The white shirt can be paired with anything from a long denim skirt, denim jacket, and denims to tailored trousers and even a leather jacket.\u201d<\/p>\n R799 at Cotton On<\/p>\n R230 at Bash<\/p>\n R599 at Woolworths<\/p>\n \u201cA pair of leatherette shorts is versatile and a timeless addition to any stylish wardrobe. Pair it with a cardigan, stockings and ankle boots and you\u2019re ready to slay the day,\u201d says Wagheeba.<\/p>\n R385 at Superbalist<\/p>\n R859 at Zara<\/p>\n R350 at Ackermans<\/p>\n \u201cA simple tights is the perfect transitioning piece,\u201d says Wagheeba. \u201cIt perfectly ties together looks that include both summer and autumn pieces to create an effortlessly stylish look.\u201d Pair yours with your sundress and a denim jacket or trench coat.<\/p>\n R150 at Mr Price<\/p>\n R100 at Bash<\/p>\n R589 at Zara<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When transitioning your wardrobe from summer to autumn style, it\u2019s easy to think you\u2019ll need to go shopping for a cupboard full of long-sleeved shirts and jerseys.
