Bonjour lecteurs! Autumn is definitely on its way and just like that, it’s time to swap your wardrobe. Who has already packed all their summery bits and got all their sweaters out? I am yet to do mine but it should happen this weekend! Having said that, I am not planning to put away all my fav summer items. It’s not because it’s getting colder that you need to hide it all until June. So today, I share with you 5 Summer Fashion Pieces You Still Need in Autumn. Keep them nearby and style them with all your fav fall pieces. And don’t forget to follow me on LTK where I share all my best looks just for you!
Beachwear
It’s not because it’s cold that I am giving up on all my beachwear and swimwear. C’est l’opposé!
I will definitely keep my swimming costume and my kaftan dresses so that I can grab them anytime we go for a swim.
Or maybe if we decide to book a mini-break for half-term in October? I am dreaming of a trip to Turkey (or maybe Dubai!) in October just to get some sunshine and a bonne dose de vitamine D. But it’s very likely to be a last-minute thing if we decide to do it as it will depend on our workload.
Either way, keep all your beachwear for some colours if you go away or just to look extra glam at the local pool! The current collection at Bsubseach is beautiful and I might actually grab this shawl that has a cute autumnal vibes.
What do you think?
Sunglasses
I wear some sunglasses all year round. Even if it’s not that sunny, I always have mine on top of my head. It works a bit like a hairband and I can’t just put them on when the sunshine is out.
Shades are L’ACCESSOIRE numéro 1 all year round for me! C’est la pièce fashion parfaite to hide the bags under my eyes!
Over the years, I have been building a large collection of sunglasses from all sorts of places. At the minute, I am obsessed with a pair of burgundy shades that I grabbed in the H&M sales. But I also like vintages sunglasses to add up this je-ne-sais-quoi to any autumnal outfit.
Colourful Handbags
As you may already know, I am a bag lover and I have une grande collection… I feel that le sac parfait can dress up any outfit and it always makes me feel fabulous.
In Autumn, I usually préfère darker shades for bags like black or navy, but I love a burst of pink or yellow to spice it up a bit. Wear your colourful handbags with a beige or white winter coat et voilà!
Marc Jacobs just opened a new shop at the Ashford Designer Outlet and I might pop in this week to see what they have…
Silk Scarves & More
Whatever your style, très chic or more casual, every woman needs a selection of scarfs and it adds up another touche de couleurs to any autumnal outfit.
I would love to buy a fameuse Hermès Carré one day. It’s a real fashion investment. But for now, I like adding some blue or rose silk scarves that I either bought in sample sales or vintage shops.
Or why not go for a silk shirt? They feel so luxurious and always make you look très chic. I have salmon one with a lovely print that I usually wear with a pair of shorts.
Rethink You Summer Dress
Another fashion piece I am not ready to pack away yet? Some of my summer dresses, especially if they are long-sleeved.
Just layer them up with a cashmere jumper or good cardi and a pair of suede boots et voilà!
It will become your autumn staple styles. I have a couple of dresses from Uniqlo that I am yet to let go, especially my black satin one that you will certainly see me wearing encore et encore over the next few weeks. I am totally obsessed with this mid-season dress.
I reckon I will still be wearing it comes Christmas!!!
Et voilà 5 Summer Fashion Pieces You Still Need in Autumn. Don’t pack them away yet. Keep wearing them with a different twist. Explore your wardrobe and what fashion items you already have. And if you liked this post, check out my best vintage accessories to invest in for more inspiration.
