hi friends we are getting to that time
again where it
is not quite fall but the days are a
little bit cooler and some days are
still warmer and some days are both cool
and warm
in one day and you don't know what the
heck to wear so today i'm going to be
sharing with you
some of my summer to fall transition
outfit ideas we're gonna be specifically
talking about the
art of layering because there's many
ways that you can incorporate items that
you already have
or may be already wearing to make them
look new and fresh
and slightly warmer
the first item we're going to be
transitioning is a pair of
denim shorts you can have any color
denim you
like any style you like you can actually
have any
fabric too although thicker ones tend to
be a little bit warmer and look better
for fall so something like corduroy
or leather or denim would be best the
first thing you want to do is layer some
black tights under them
i feel like this is the model
outfit no matter which country i was in
the world when i would go to castings
i would always see this outfit on
someone like black tights
denim shorts and a tank top or a t-shirt
or something like that because of the
way
these shorts are cut and there's a
little bit of a flare at the top
and then the black tights as well make
your legs look slim and long
and they can look even longer if you
change into some black boots so that it
just looks like your legs go on and on
and on
[Music]
there's a few really good feelings in
life one of them is
slipping on shoes super smoothly
nylons do that so well like you just
your foot just glides in like it's meant
to be there
like cinderella putting on a glass
slipper
and also i love the way nylons hug you i
just missed this feeling it's been a
while and i'm excited to wear tights
again
oh they feel so nice okay we can
continue
[Music]
these boots have been trending for a few
seasons now they're called
lug lug soles or lug boots it's this
specific type of
bottom of your shoe these are from mango
if you
follow me on instagram or facebook
you'll probably see me wear this type of
style of boots a lot
these ones are the ones without the
laces i love putting these on with so
many different outfits
even though it's crazy hot in hong kong
and i shouldn't be i just
love the way it looks these are great
and they make your legs look really long
then i'm adding a plaid jacket to it
which is a shirt
jacket it can be either or just for a
little bit of a pattern and some
different color and texture to make the
outfit a little bit more
interesting this could be a great outfit
right here i am going to give different
options along the way so i'm going to
slowly layer it more and more
because fall weather is very different
depending on where in the world you live
so if you want to add on another layer
you can add on a blazer i'm adding a
faux leather blazer here which is a
little bit warmer but i also like the
texture and
a little bit of the shine and i think it
looks really cool and then i'm throwing
over a cross body bag just to bring it
all together
and then i'm switching out the white
t-shirt for a black mock neck
and i'm just going to add on the same
components once again so you can just
see what it's like with a higher
neckline
and a different shade this guy is
something i wear
all fall and all winter with so many
different outfits
it looks great by itself it looks great
layered under things
it's just a great piece that i get a lot
of use out of next we're swapping out
the blazer for an oversized blazer i
love to
wrap it around me and add a belt for
some definition at my waist
this outfit is probably my go-to outfit
lately
it looks really chic but it's also
really comfortable at the same time
really easy to put together
and if you want to be a little bolder
you can add pattern tights to it
[Music]
the next category is dresses we're going
to start off with a mini dress
as you can see it's strappy so my chest
and shoulder area is bare which i would
be quite cold in the fall and winter
months
so the first thing you want to do is add
on a mock or turtleneck
in white or black or some neutral color
again layer on some tights
i'm going to change to my black boots
and this fun little bucket hat so this
outfit would work great for the
beginning of fall
and then if you want to get a little bit
warmer you can layer on
a sweater and there's a few ways that
you can tuck it in
so you may know this already because it
went quite
viral i think last year in 2019 this
great hack
of using a belt to tuck in your shirt so
that's one of the ways that you could do
it just take a thin
tighter belt wrap it around your sweater
and then slowly lift it
over it and it will look tucked in this
is actually something that i do with
many items not just dresses because a
lot of skirts or
high-waisted pants look quite bulgy when
you try to tuck in a sweater so this way
or a tie-up method is more flattering to
warm this up further i'm going to add
back on that plaid jacket and you can
continue to layer on warmer coats as it
gets colder
and also add some woolly warmer socks to
your feet now i realize that there's
quite a lot of black in this video so
i'm going to show you
another lighter version in brown this is
with a midi length slip dress and here
you can choose to show some of the belt
or completely hide it both look really
good
as always another option is to throw on
a blazer for a bit more sophistication
and warmth
and possibly color and if you keep it
monochrome you'll find it easier to put
many different outfits together
your outfit will also look more cohesive
and more
expensive all right so next we're going
to transition a blouse and jeans
so first off you want to opt for jeans
without too much distressing
or fraying at the bottom because these
give off a lot of spring summer vibes
alternatively if you could just tidy up
the bottoms by adding some elastics
to your ankles and then rolling them up
not only will this make your jeans look
a little bit more
fall-like but it'll also make it easier
for you to slip them into your boots
so that is the jeans and then first i'm
going to layer on a cardigan and french
tucket
then i'm swapping out my sneakers for
some loafers in this beautiful rich
cognac brown color followed by layering
on a trench coat
and finally i'm trying to get a
crossbody bag over all of my layers to
just
tie this outfit all together
alright and finally let's move on to
sweatsuits because if you're like me
you have bought a few new ones to wear
because i've just been seeing a lot of
cute ones on instagram and social media
so i purchased a couple
and you want to get your money's worth
out of them so you can keep wearing them
in the fall
but there's a few things you can do to
wear them out and look a little bit more
chic step one crop your sweater with one
of the methods i mentioned before or you
could also tuck it into your bra
swap your slippers or sandals or
sneakers
for some boots add a blazer some gold
jewelry
put your hair in a sleek bun and add
some deeper lipstick like a red
or a berry and you will look like a
sophisticated comfortable fall
fashionista
no black let's see so to summarize
there's three main items that i think
are worth investing in to help you to
wear your clothes
for a longer period of time one is a
black
and or white turtleneck or mock neck
whichever length of neck you like you
can wear these on their
own or layered under outfits i get
so much use out of these in the fall and
winter seasons and even the spring
a good pair of black tights these can go
under so many outfits you can also
layer them under your pants or your
jeans just to keep yourself a bit warmer
even though you can't see them i do this
all the time when i'm in canada during
the winter
and then a blazer as you saw you can
wear a blazer on top of so many
different outfits
from completely casual sweatpants and a
sweatshirt
to a more dressed up look if you get a
good quality one it will last you
forever and you will wear it again and
again because it will never go out of
style
these and my favorite pair of jeans and
a t-shirt are my most worn items
also something i want to mention is heat
tech this is also a great thing to
layer under and it works really well it
keeps you really warm
uniqlo makes really good ones they have
them in the form of shorts
or i think t-shirts or long-sleeve
shorts they have all different styles
for you to choose from
they're very thin but very effective so
these are your friends
long sleeve shirts t-shirts and long
sleeve shirts
elastics and belts are also our good
friends during
the transition periods because they help
you to transform your clothing items
really easily as you saw i use them so
many times to
fix things in place so you're gonna
wanna get some
elastics but don't use these on your
hair because it can cause
damage and breakage these are your hair
friends
these are your outfit friends all right
i hope you found this video helpful and
i hope you have found
a few tips to help you transform some
items that you already have
in your closet let me know if there's
any specific piece that i missed and you
want to see how i style it or how i
layer it i maybe will make a part two or
maybe i'll do a shorter video
