While we are sad to see summer end, we could not be more eager for the weather to turn so we can switch into fall attire. Contrary to popular belief, you should be fine without purchasing a new wardrobe at the beginning of each season. Unfortunately, it’s tempting to avoid following the latest trends every season because of the fast trend cycle.
This level of excessive consumption in the fashion sector is a significant factor in the buildup of carbon emissions in the atmosphere. We’re here to help you look your best with what you have while making thoughtful decisions that will lessen your impact on the environment as Boise’s top fashion consultants.
Rethink
Refrain from considering your wardrobe as something that needs complete reconstruction every season. Instead, at the beginning of the season, decide what you want to keep and discard, and then update your wardrobe by sometimes adding new pieces. Consider any time you consider expanding your wardrobe as a long-term investment.
Autumn Color Palette
This one should be obvious. Increase the number of earthy fall tones in your color plan when the season shifts to fall. According to our forecast, the most popular hues in fall will be dark purple, olive green, black, and chocolate brown. By layering and adding accessories, you can gradually begin incorporating these colors into your ensembles during this transitional period.
Layering is Everything
Layering is the best way to make ordinary clothing look chic in the fall. When it comes to layering, the fundamentals will be your closest friend. Below is a list of layering items that will help you add variety to your closet. I advise investing in neutral hues to make the most of your essential pieces and create more looks.
- tanks
- tees
- long sleeves
- tights/leggings
- shackets
- sweaters
- vests
- coats
Simple tank tops look great with high-neck, long-sleeve shirts. Another illustration of this would be to wear leggings and a sundress with an oversized jumper on top.
Re-wear
Wear your summer dresses, tees, and skirts whenever possible. Try to match summer clothing with fall-toned basics and accessories, as was previously indicated. Any season may be dressed in summer dresses. For instance, you may wear a floral dress with some statement boots and a long-sleeved blouse in a dark color underneath.
Even though repeatedly wearing the same garments is deemed sustainable and shouldn’t carry any stigma, it does feel like a stigma is attached to it.
Accessorize
Similar to layering, accessories may give your outfit extra depth. For example, anyone’s wardrobe should include a pair of boots for the fall. In addition, you can reuse more clothes by using accessories rather than wearing the same outfit more than once. The following list of accessories is appropriate for all seasons, but fall is when you’ll find it most useful.
- boots
- belts
- jewelry
- hats
- bags
- scarves
- Research
Make sure to do your homework on the brand, the manufacturing procedures, and the materials employed to create the item before purchasing it to add to your wardrobe. During this process, it’s crucial to ask yourself essential questions. For example, does the company value the durability and quality of the clothing it sells? Is this fashion indeed “you,” or is it only a fad? Do you anticipate wearing the item more often than 30 times? If not, you most likely don’t require it.
With these pointers, we hope you can put seasonal fashion fads to rest and rethink how you style your wardrobe. Making the most of what you already have and buying less are the two most effective ways to lessen your fashion footprint, even though shopping locally and secondhand is more environmentally friendly than fast fashion.
