How To Create Romantic Early Autumn Wear
It's finally that beautiful time of the year again when it's not quite cold enough for big coats, yet the leaves are turning all kinds of colors and you can feel the cozy vibes creeping in—it's early autumn!
What that also means is that it's time to give your wardrobe a little refresh and add some romantic, layered fall outfits and looks to your closet. Today, we'll show you the best tips and tricks on how to create the perfect autumn fashion looks so you can feel soft, comfy, and warm while sipping your pumpkin spice latte or taking cute pictures in the park!
How To Create An Early Autumn Atmosphere
There are two main things that can elevate any basic outfit and turn it into the perfect fall fashion piece:
Choose The Right Fabric
The first and most important thing is fabric — fabric is EVERYTHING! The right fabric will help you stay comfortable while also looking cute. Some of the best fabrics that can help you achieve that are:
● Light Knits: Light knits are great for keeping you warm without making you sweaty. To keep you from overheating, items like cute cardigans or oversized sweaters can be made from this material. Make sure to check the tag or description of an item for this fabric.
● Velvet: Velvet is a great choice if you want to feel luxurious like an awesome queen. This material can add a touch of glam to whatever outfit you're wearing as the leaves turn yellow and red.
● Lace: When you're feeling romantic or want to create a dreamy, feminine fall look, going for something with lace can make your outfit look more delicate and special.
Color Matching
Fabric is important, but so is color. When you think about autumn, most of the time you'll have a very vivid image of warm and cozy hues like yellow, orange, and brown. That doesn't mean you can't have a little fun with your palette and mix in some other colors as well:
● Warm Tones: Warm tones like cream, light brown, and beige are almost like a hug in color form — super soft and super soothing. They make your outfit give off classic fall vibes.
● Soft Contrasts: Now, if you're bored with the classic fall colors and want something extra, you can mix some pastels into your outfit. Colors like light pink, mint green, or even lavender are beautiful choices that can give you a soft yet refreshing pop of color while still keeping things subtle and romantic.
