Fall is well and truly here, meaning it’s time to embrace cozy nights by the fire, candles, movie nights and, of course, wrapping up warm! Just because extra layers are in order doesn’t necessarily mean sacrificing style. Read on to discover five fun ways to ensure your Autumn outfit stands out – while making sure you stay warm!
1. Long Scarf
Did you know that even though your neck and head only account for around 10% of your body’s surface area, between them, they can lose up to 30% of your body heat? That’s why a long scarf can have a big impact on how warm we feel once the temperature starts to dip.
It’s not just about keeping warm though; a long scarf is the ultimate accessory for transforming a simple outfit into something elegant. It’s also highly versatile, meaning you can style the same scarf in numerous ways to create a range of different looks. For instance, drape it loosely over your shoulders for a casual look, or for a more sophisticated effect, tuck it neatly inside your jacket. For more inspiration and luxurious styles, take a look at long women scarves from Elizabetta.
2. Cozy Hat
Pair your long scarf with a cozy hat to ensure minimum heat loss and maximum warmth this fall! A classic knitted bobble hat is perfect for those chillier days. Opt for shades such as mustard yellow, rust orange, or deep burgundy to embrace the season’s colors, or go for more vibrant shades to inject some character into your outfit.
If beanies aren’t your thing, don’t be afraid to experiment with different looks and styles. Wide-brimmed hats are not just for summer; choose a woolen or felt material and pair it with a complementing long coat for a truly glamorous vibe that’s sure to draw attention. Alternatively, embrace your inner Parisian and go for a beret, adding pizzazz and confidence to any outfit while keeping you toasty warm at the same time!
3. Statement Belts
The statement belt has seen an impressive comeback in recent years, but did you know it’s also a versatile accessory? Pair with a tailored look and create a structured look with a cinched-in waist, or create a cozy, romantic vibe by layering a belt over a chunky knitted sweater. Alternatively, wrap it around a long cardigan to create an enviable silhouette.
There are also plenty of options when it comes to materials. Of course, the classic leather belt will always work well, especially in autumnal shades such as chestnut brown or tan, but autumn is the perfect time to experiment with different styles and textures. Choose an embellished belt featuring adornments such as studs, beads, tassels, embroidery, or even rhinestones, and add some sparkle on a dull day!
4. Leather Gloves
We’ve all experienced that unenviable moment: You’re out running errands, enjoying a pretty autumn walk or even attending an outdoor event but all you can think about is your ice-cold fingers! Like your head and neck, your hands are also an important source of heat loss.
Fortunately, leather gloves are not only highly insulating, they’re also luxurious, timeless and stylish – the perfect way to complete your outfit this fall! What’s more, thanks to the robust nature of the material, a pair of leather gloves will last for many years to come. Choose a color that works well with most of your wardrobe, such as classic black or navy.
5. Stylish Hosiery
Gone are the days of plain, practical hosiery. Instead, allow your tights to form an important part of your outfit – or even steal the show! Today, hosiery comes in all manner of fabrics, styles, colors, and patterns. Depending on the look you want to achieve, consider delicate, lace tights, bold-colored leggings, or some thick woolen hosiery with a repeating motif. All will keep your legs warm while adding interest to your outfit!
If you’ve been suffering from the post-summer blues lately, don’t worry. The fall is the perfect season to add interest and personality to your outfit, thanks to these simple style tips! Have fun experimenting – and keep warm in the process!
