With summer season going by and fall season approaching, it is time for seasonal switch. Booth Moore from LA Times prepared great tips on how to prepare for fall season this year and in the future.
- Shop early, as in a season early. The runway shows happen six months before the clothes actually land in stores. But that doesn’t mean you can’t start thinking then about what to buy. Now that designers are using more lightweight fabrics because of the changing climate, clothes can be worn year-round; making this is a smart way to shop.
- Pick a date for fall to start. This is a date when you decide to “unwrap” you new fall wardrobe and start wearing your new clothes.
- Don’t forget to update your makeup bag. It’s time to ditch the self-tanner, the bronzing powder and the shimmery coral lipgloss and pull out plum and red nail polish and smoky eye shadow. You can even change your perfume, from beachy, citrusy scents to heavier florals with woodsy notes. Just that simple shift will put you in fall spirit.
- Shop in unexpected places. Just because it is fall doesn’t mean you have to hit the mall. Shop thrift stores, vintage stores and discount stores for trends. If you are lucky, you’ll find something unique, not the same old piece you’re already sick of after seeing it in the pages of InStyle, Vogue and Marie Claire.
- Rearrange your closet according to trends. Move the trendy clothes to the front of your closet. Remember that jewelry should be an important element of your outfit. This year bold designs are hot. Have your statement necklaces in the visible place. In this way it is much easier to put things together in the morning.
- Take inventory. Don’t be too quick throw out things. If you thought something was a beautiful piece 10 years ago, it probably still is. You just have to wait for fashion to come around to it again.
