It is that awkward time of year again. That time when the weather has slightly cooled down here in Alabama, but not quite enough to break out fall clothing. It’s the beginning of the countdown for fall-lovers till the days of scarves, sweaters and riding boots. Some have already been spotted wearing these fall essentials, but for those who are not quite ready, here are some tips on how to 
transition summer pieces to fall.

Pixi pants were a must have this summer, and if one opts for a more neutral shade, they can transition into this season’s wardrobe. Blacks, tans and even whites paired with a long-sleeved shirt can give pants an extra month 
of wear.

Black shorts are basic staples that can be worn almost 
anywhere. Make a classic pair of black shorts fall-ready with the addition of opaque tights. When it gets cooler, try a thicker pair of tights for a fun look that can be worn when going out.

Leggings can be worn year round and give optimal comfort. For a chic, chill-resistant combination, go for leather leggings. Pair them with a sweater and a faux fur vest. An embellished tee and bright bag is great for a more casual look.

How about the jumpsuit only worn once this summer? This is a one-step outfit that can be paired with a leather jacket for a little something extra. Add a sequin jacket for a more red-carpet look.

Denim is a go-with-everything piece. Whether it be a shirt, skirt or shorts, remember they are not just for summer strolls. Add a silky blouse to skirts and shorts for an easy transition. Pair denim shirts with a fun skater skirt to get an effortless, pulled together look.

Do not pack away the summer pieces just yet. With these simple styling tricks, take the favorites of the warm-weather basics into fall.
