STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Layered Neutrals

As the leaves start to change we transition our wardrobes into fall. In the fall, people tend to get layer happy and add as much as possible to their looks. A quote by the ever so wise Coco Chanel says, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” A lesson we could all take from here is less is always more.

This Fashionista seamlessly layered her look. The key to layering looks in the fall is simplicity! It’s time to let go of our favorite summer brights and opt for more muted tones. By sticking to three neutral tones, this Fashionista has look that is consistent and well put together.

One of my favorite things about the very beginning of the fall season is the transition. It’s not quite cold enough for thick chunky knit sweaters neither is it warm enough for summer tank tops. A major trend seen over the past few seasons is bomber jackets. This Fashionista’s khaki bomber matches popular muted fall tones.

Off-the-shoulder and bardot tops were seen everywhere this summer. I love how this Fashionista transitioned this trend into her fall look. Simply zip your jacket half way and pull down the shoulders and you’ve got yourself a summer trend transitioned for the new season.

To further draw attention to the neck and shoulder area layer on a choker like this Fashionista did. There are many different types of chokers to choose from but to stick with the neutrality and simplicity of fall, opt for a solid black necklace.
