Ease into Autumn

September 21st, 2009

Some people have already switched out summer closets for fall; others are still layering summer frocks on cooler nights. Fall is upon us and it is time – if not yet physically, then mentally – to flip a big fashion switch.

Autumn ushers in a range of rich colors and dark neutrals. Transition into the season and strike a happy medium with the “new” neutral color: gray. The hue, while classic, makes a fresh impression in gray top-handle bags, light gray cardigans and charcoal pleated pants. All pieces complement the jewel tones popular for the season.

It’s no surprise that black is also back, but dress it up with color for a modern approach. Since the rule of no white after Labor Day has long been null, take a classic vestige of summer – the white bag – and pair it alongside black patent pumps. Try a red silk scarf with a sleek little black dress.  Mix black with silver in any jewelry combination – like a chunky necklace and bracelet watch.
