With these stylish pieces, you’ll be ready to shift into autumn weather
Yes, it’s still hot outside, but, not long from now, the first hints of fall will be coming our way. While saying goodbye to summer can be a difficult task for many, we’re actually pretty excited about the change of weather, from the chill in the air to the sound of crisp autumn leaves gently falling on the pavement as we return to the city.
Not ready to let go of your sunny season favourites just yet? No problemo. We’ve listed four ways to transition your summer staples into fall must-haves, and look like a ChicISSIMO Italian lady in the process.
Wear Your Beachy Tote Bag with a Solid Pair of Jeans
Who says you have to archive your tote just because it’s a little chillier outside? Pair your canvas bag with some impenetrable denim (we love this off-white number by Fortela) and an oversized boyfriend jacket, and you’re good to go. Add a playful hand-rolled scarf to stave off any extra chill.
Layer Up Your Summer Frock
Layer Up Your Summer Frock
Before you push your most beloved summer dress to the back of the closet and take out your thick wools, think about layers. A bright dress can be turned into a fall piece by wearing it with plush, velvety loafers and a light jersey coat, plus cosy cotton socks to keep you warm.
Jazz Up Your Straw Hat
Fall doesn’t call for beanies or heavy-duty headgear. So make the most of the ‘not-too-cold-yet’ temperatures and keep donning your straw hat – only with a few heavier pieces to complement it. Opt for a chunky cardigan or a poncho for a bohemian look or choose a cashmere scarf for a more elevated outfit.
Make the Most of Your Supergas
The most iconic of Italian shoes was made for early autumn. This is the time to let it do the talking, best if with a ChicISSIMO overcoat for a laidback-meets-sophisticated ensemble, or an easy pair of denim trousers if you’re going full casual (or both together? The world is your oyster).
