I usually swap my UK summer wardrobe to the autumn pieces&nbsp; by mid September, in my case the colour palette does not change, it is just a slight tone change (darker in the cold season, lighter in the spring summer). I've already started looking at which items I don't want to keep for the following year - trying to reduce unnecessary duplications and downsize black pieces in the wardrobe.</p> <p>As I will be travelling from mid sept to beginning of October, I will try to extend the use of my UK summer wardrobe (with lots of layers). Finger's crossed it works!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277504 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 17:15:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2277504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I’m starting early with the masks. One of the people I’m looking forward to seeing is immunocompromised so wears a mask everywhere. I called the other day &amp; they were working out in the gym—with a mask on. Doesn’t take it off for the actual exercises. So tomorrow, two weeks before that part of the trip, I’m going to start doing the same. Kids start back to school next week, so I hope to get a lane to myself when I swim, because masks don’t work in the water. But everywhere else, my son and I will have them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277502 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 16:27:06 +0000 Irina 2277502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear the same colors throughout the year and only change decor for Christmas, once a year.&nbsp;<div>I will move silks, dresses and linen clothes to my off season closet at the end or mid September, depending on a year.

Girls that are hostesses in restaurants wear their boots with silky slip dresses and maybe a ratty cardigan. &nbsp;You will see a very casual mix. &nbsp;Maybe the East Coast is still more preppy, but I doubt it.&nbsp;<div>&nbsp;Have a good trip and wear a mask. &nbsp;Almost everyone I know who has travelled lately has come down with a Covid variant, including our young priest who went to Israel. &nbsp;Older people also get pneumonia and are in and out of the hospital with it and Covid. &nbsp;Be careful. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277465 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 09:07:37 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2277465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am suddenly interested in this topic, because of my upcoming fairly complicated trip. When I started planning what to take, back in July, I saw that the temps where I’m going will be the same as they were here then, so I thought I’d take the same capsule I’d been wearing. Now I’m not so sure. I’m getting a little tired of those things, maybe, and school will be in session, so fall-looking clothes might be in order. Arg. More hassle than I want! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277419 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 17:39:10 +0000 merwoman 2277419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your colours sound gorgeous Joy! &nbsp;When days start getting shorter and nights cooler, I start adding my scarves and my light jackets.

Warm and mild. But the days are shorter, so crisp mornings and evenings. You haul out toppers for sure. Especially by the water.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear the same colours year round, generally. But wear burgundy and cognac in the Autumn and Winter. A lot more navy too. In the Spring and Summer, I wear a lot more white.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277400 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 15:56:44 +0000 The Cat 2277400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, leaf motifs are beautiful, and if I owned any, I would absolutely wear them in fall.</p> <p>Re the two colour combos you mentioned: Orange &amp; cobalt sounds stunningly gorgeous. Pale blue &amp; olive sounds pretty, calm and soothing. Both combos will be great for autumn outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277390 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 14:42:57 +0000 Dana 2277390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fall is my least favorite season, so I stretch summer as long as possible. As you know, Colorado can be warm into October, so I'm rarely looking to push it. I'm planning on Barbiecore for some fall purchases...hoping to find some mid-weight things.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do wear different jewelry fall/winter...fewer light, "tinkly" pieces (with jewels,) more substantial pieces.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277384 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 14:29:52 +0000 Zaeobi 2277384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear the same core colours year round - especially in HK, where we don't really get Autumn &amp; Spring so much as '80%+ humid &amp; wet' for March until October, then '50%+ humid &amp; dry' the rest of the time </p> <p>That said though, my cold weather items (like coats &amp; boots) usually come out to play after the official Mid Autumn Festival (10th September this year, which is fairly early - so I don't anticipate really needing said items until at least mid-October). But it's fairly fluid, since I still wear toppers in the heavy AC here &amp; my sandals still get *some* use after Oct. </p> <p>One thing I have noticed this year though (especially after being back in the UK) is that I don't feel drawn to certain bright colours when the weather cools (like chartreuse, coral &amp; yellow gold) but others I still love to wear all year (like marigold &amp; brass) *shrugs* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277382 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 14:24:26 +0000 Anonymous 2277382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Cat, your jewelry change makes sense to me. I also pull out leaf motifs, but&nbsp;usually not big tropical leaves. &nbsp;Can I wear an orange sleeved top with cobalt pants or pale baby blue with olive pants in fall or keep it for spring or summer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277370 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 13:31:53 +0000 The Cat 2277370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, you also asked if we change our jewellery in fall/winter.</p> <p>I look best (and thrive) in cool colours. White pearls and silver jewellery are essentials to me year round. However, I own a few pieces of jewellery in warm colours, and in my opinion they harmonize best with spring and fall, so I always make sure they get some wear in those seasons. </p> <p>In fall, I like to pull out jewellery in gold and brown. Jewellery made of wood (in any colour) also signals "fall" to me. </p> <p>When winter arrives, I will instead pull out transparent jewellery (which catches and reflects light) and "bling"/diamond-ish jewellery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277362 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 12:31:54 +0000 Anonymous 2277362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cool weather can be on your side of the Bay, Janet Just send all the heat to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277359 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 12:28:24 +0000 Janet 2277359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am anxious for fall weather to arrive. I do not thrive in heat. Thankfully, our temps have started to come down to more reasonable levels — in the 70s and 80s during the day, and blissfully into the 60s at night, so I can once again sleep with the windows open and no AC! </p> <p>My color pallets deepens as fall approaches, even if I’m still wearing “summer” clothes. Deeper, richer colors feel right in September even if the days are still warm. I’ll start wearing more black and grey and less white. I’ll start wearing closed shoes more than sandals, and jeans will come back out on days when we start to only hit highs around 70 or so. I’m always eager to change gears, and I’m quite tired of most of my summer wardrobe by the time September rolls around, so I’ll start phasing in those fall items as much as comfort will allow!</p> <p>So sorry, Suntiger, I’m cheering on the arrival of cooler weather! I’m ready for boots and jackets and jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277357 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 12:25:04 +0000 RobinF 2277357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do tend to wear darker colors as the season changes. Usually I have to give up my sandals and switch to sneakers and boots around mid-September but sometimes earlier. Heck, last weekend felt like fall already! But back to the 70's-80's this week. I'm not ready for the cooler weather yet!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277354 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 11:48:34 +0000 Anonymous 2277354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear less jewelry in cold weather- usually just earrings. Bracelets don't work with sleeves, necklaces don't work with scarves, and winter outfits are already ALGO.

Of course "my" colors are autumn ones- burgundy, rust, olive, chocolate brown, etc- so skirts and sleeveless tops in these colors are easy winners. I dress the same May-October!</p> <p>When it's below 70, I mix my summer and winter wardrobes. Sleeved blouses with skirts, long sleeved dresses, sleeveless with trousers, short sleeves, heavier long skirts, cropped or thin pants (like linen). Light topper for night or early am. Sandals still if over 60! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277288 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 01:03:29 +0000 Jaime 2277288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer tends to last through October here, but as soon as the temperatures are nearer to 80 than 90 I start wearing closed shoes instead of sandals, and start returning to long pants and jeans. The exciting part is closer to November when my jackets can come out again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277271 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 22:16:58 +0000 SarahD8 2277271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>September tends to be warm in Seattle and since our summers start late (this year we had an especially cool, wet spring, despite the heat now) I like to stretch summer dressing out as long as possible! At least till the autumn equinox, if the weather holds.</p> <p>That said, I do enjoy shifting my color palette with the seasons. I'm especially keen on rose and teal as a color combo for late summer/early fall. Then in October I'll pull out the burgundies and plums. I agree with <b>The Cat</b>, though, there's no requirement for wearing autumn colors (by whatever definition) in autumn, only if it is fun for you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-dressing#post-2277269 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 21:49:55 +0000 The Cat 2277269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, autumn dressing starts when the weather begins to cool off (where I live, this happens usually in the middle of September) and means goodbye to thin summer garments and sandals, and hello to warmer clothes, closed shoes, and boots.</p> <p>I don't think anyone HAS TO dress in certain colours in a certain season. It is more important that fabrics and styles are appropriate for the season. That said, I will admit that I like to focus on certain colours in each of my four very different seasons. My favourite autumn colours (based on my colouring, style and preferences) are magenta, burgundy, purple, deep turquoise, teal, medium and deep emerald greens, medium grey, charcoal, cool browns and navy. I often like to include one or more of these colours in my autumn outfits. </p>
