It’s the middle of Summer and hot in the northern hemisphere. As a cool reprieve and something to look forward to, I’m sharing some Autumn outfit formulas. Darker greens are popular with my friends and clients as the season turns, so that’s the inspiration here. Dark green goes well with black. But if black’s not for you, choose dark blue. 

1. Patterned Blouse, Green Pants, Black Accents

A black and green patterned blouse is combined with a pair of slim green cropped trousers. It’s tucked for a dressier vibe, and to create structure by defining the waist. Feel free to leave it un-tucked if that’s your preference. Black pumps and bag that match are the finishing touch. Classic heeled pumps are trending, hence we’re seeing more of them. Choose black shoes that are more to your taste if you don’t like wearing heeled pumps.

2. Black Suit and Graphic Tee

A black pants suit with a longer length jacket is combined with a white tee with a green and black graphic. It’s tucked into the trousers to showcase a black denim obi-style belt that adds a unique touch to the outfit. White pumps pick up the white of the tee thereby adding a punchy high contrast effect. I see a black, white, or mint bag complete the look.

3. Patterned Dress, Socks, Loafers

A green and black pattern on a cream background graces a roomy columned frock with sleeves. It’s completed with black loafers and dark green socks to create an autumnal boot vibe. Add a bag that works with the palette.

4. Patterned Skirt and Black Support Act

A black and green floral flared midi skirt is paired with a short black sweater with a wide welt. It’s worn comfortably over the skirt, and showcases the structured waist of the skirt because of its cropped length. Dressy heeled tall black boots add a polished touch. Add a bag, jewellery, eyewear and watch as desired.
