Making the most of your summer pieces in the fall requires layering to the extreme. If it’s chilly, make like @disco_forest and wear your slip dress over a T-shirt, then throw a long tweed coat on top for a refreshing take on cold-weather chic.
3. Toughen it up with leather
If your slip dress typically plays the romantic role in your warm-weather wardrobe, give it a little push in the other direction by pairing it with leather pieces during fall. This is a refreshing way to update your look for the season. @couturing_ shows how it’s done by pairing hers with a timeless moto jacket and a pair of trusty Doc Martens.
4. Add a sensible turtleneck
There’s a reason so many grab their turtlenecks at the turn of the season. It’s the ultimate layering piece, and it makes it easy to wear almost anything that you might otherwise consider when temperatures drop.
Case in point: this devilish combo of a fiery, polished slip dress over a form-fitting black turtleneck on the @shoproseus feed. You won’t feel a hint of that chill outside. (Another option? Wear the turtleneck over your slip dress instead.)
5. Pair with boots and a sweater
What’s more autumnal than a chunky knit sweater and a pair of tall boots? As @makondostyle shows, it’s easy to make your slip dress work on a cool day when you add a substantial, cozy cardigan on top. Complete your slip dress outfit by stepping into a pair of tall boots. Now you have the ultimate look for a brisk day that calls for a sophisticated ensemble.
