8 Ways to Channel Fall in Warm Weather
Let’s be honest, women love fall. The layers, the rich tones of chestnut and cocoa, the subtle shift in style. But when you live somewhere warm, like Miami, it’s hard to imagine throwing on a cozy scarf or chic jacket when the temps are still in the 80s.
Even though I’m in South Florida, I still love channeling that fall energy. The trick is finding little ways to bring in the season’s style without overheating. I’ve pulled together my favorite tips for working fall trends—while staying cool and chic.
1. TRY A NEW MAKE-UP: This is the easiest way to bring in a fall vibe, you don’t even need the full outfit to be a fall trend. Just keep the tones of your clothes on the warmer side, and try a deep wine lip stain, a terracotta colored lip gloss, or a sharp winged eye liner.
2. UPDATE YOUR HANDBAG: Store away those summer straw favorites and opt for chocolate browns, tans, or burgundy in a croc or suede.
3. PLAY WITH PRINTS AND PATTERNS: Look in your closest or shop for an animal print like leopard or cheetah, doesn’t need to be a coat or sweater, a blouse is perfect. Also a classic red and black check, like this Louis Vuitton look, instantly channels that cozy Fall look.
4. STAY CHIC IN SHEER: In Miami, heavy layers aren’t an option– but sheer fabrics are the perfect solution. These lightweight looks from the runway bring the fall mood while keeping things cool, chic and effortlessly sexy.
5. LACE: This elegant texture elevates any look, while not adding fuss. Keep it cool and effortless, by pairing lace with a relaxed denim, a simple skirt, or wide-leg trousers.
6. JEWELRY: Go bold with statement pieces– think long chains with pendants, chunky stacks of bracelets, oversized earrings, or even a brooch. It’s my favorite way to look modern, elevated, and have fun with the layering.
7. HIGH-SOCKS: Florida may be too warm for tights, but a high sock is totally doable. This trend isn’t for everyone, but it’s such a fun way to add style. Pair them with sneakers, loafers, or boots and a mini skirt for a playful fall touch.
8. COLORED SUNGLASSES: Colored lenses are an easy way to nod to fall trends while keeping it Miami-Cool. The best part? We wear sunnies year-round, so this one’s a no-brainer.
