Fashion "rules" like not wearing white after Labor Day have become increasingly relaxed in recent years, and many people now embrace wearing white and other lighter colors year-round.
While we love our white dresses, if you know anything about Ana, we're all about that color! Living here in South Florida, these rules seem to be even more relaxed as we tend to keep things bright and cheery throughout the year. Without a true changing of the seasons, we kind of carry on as normal here but we do like to play with a few different types of things, as the weather does tend to 'cool' down ever so slightly.
With that in mind, here's a few tips for getting your post Labor Day wardrobe and fashion in order.
Layering
It might be hard to believe here in August, but our temps will start to fall in the coming months. If even just a little bit. As the weather transitions from summer to fall, layering becomes key. You can start incorporating light sweaters, cardigans, blazers, and jackets into your outfits. Mix and match different textures and fabrics to create interesting combinations.
Transition Footwear
Swap out your sandals and open-toed shoes for closed-toe options like ankle boots, loafers, and sneakers. These not only keep your feet a bit warmer but also complement the autumn aesthetic.
Dark Denim
While jeans can't always be worn year-round here in South Florida, it's a great time of year to break out darker denim shades tend to align better with the fall season. They're versatile and can be dressed up or down and are perfect for those cool fall nights in Jupiter and Palm Beach.
Midi and Maxi Skirts/Dresses
These can still be worn post-Labor Day by pairing them with boots and layering tops or sweaters. Don't feel like you have to abandon your skirts and dresses once summer ends - it's still Florida after-all.
Tights and Leggings
If you want to continue wearing dresses or skirts into the colder months, opaque tights or leggings can be your best friends. They add warmth and allow you to extend the life of your favorite summer pieces.
Remember that personal style is about expressing yourself and feeling confident. While these tips can guide you, feel free to adapt them to your own preferences and the climate of your region. The most important thing is to have fun experimenting with your wardrobe and embracing the changing seasons.
