How To Dress For Fall Even In A Warm Climate
Not all of us have been blessed with sweater weather, sadly. Here’s how you can still dress for fall even when it’s too warm.
There’s really no time of the year with better outfits. Fall is the time for sweaters, boots, scarves, and hats – but without the heavy winter coat covering everything up. Unfortunately, if you live in a warm climate, you pretty much don’t get to wear any of those things, at least not without a little creativity. Fortunately, I figured out how to wear all the cute seasonal outfits, even when cool, crisp fall weather isn’t in the cards.
Fall Patterns
When it comes to dressing for fall in a warm climate, traditional fall patterns are going to be your best friend. Look for plaids and leopard prints in clothing that’s a lighter material or even in accessories to add that autumnal vibe.
Lightweight Cardigans
A lightweight cardigan is perfect for fall in a warm climate. It’s not going to make you overheat, and you still get the fun of wearing a sweater. Plus, cardigans are easy to take off when it heats up.
Fall Florals
Who says that florals have to be just a summertime thing? I love fall florals in warm tones like red, oranges, and browns. Pair those with some ankle boots and you have a totally fall-inspired outfit that won’t make you pass out from heat exhaustion.
Warm Colors
Even though the leaves aren’t changing colors where you live, you can still embrace the colors of fall in your clothing!
Fall Jumpsuit
One outfit I think is super cute is a jumpsuit in a warm tone layered over a white shirt or lightweight sweater.
Overalls
Overalls may not strictly be a fall piece, but denim has a way of bringing in that back-to-school fall feeling. Colored overalls, especially if they’re corduroy, are an easy way to knock this outfit out of the park.
Boots
Whether you’re a fan of the ankle, combat, or tall variety, boots are the perfect way to bring some of the fall season into your outfit no matter how hot it is outside. Even though we think of boots as fall and winter items, there’s really no reason why they can’t be worn year-round.
Shoes, Shoes, Shoes
Even if boots aren’t your thing, don’t overlook how shoes can change the feeling of an outfit. Find flats and mules in fall colors, patterns, and fabrics to up the ante.
Accessories
If all else fails, fall-colored accessories will be your best friends! Whether you invest in a cute purse or a pack of scrunchies, it might make all the difference on those hot days when you’re tired of your summer wardrobe.
Blazers
Blazers are a wonderful option for fall layers in warm climates because they’re essentially businesswear so they’re meant to be worn year-round. But the fabrics and colors you choose can really add to the fall feeling of the outfit.
Closing Thoughts
Dressing for fall can be really hard when the weather where you live doesn’t cooperate. But experimenting with footwear, accessories, color, and layers allows you to wear a fall-inspired wardrobe no matter the temperature!
