Summer meets fall: A glamorous outfit for transitional season

September heralds autumn and – at least for me – always represents a new beginning. Previously it was back to school, later a new semester started and today my wardrobe is just about to change. The airy summer dresses are slowly but surely being pushed further to the back of the closet. Nylons, cardigans and sometimes umbrellas are now being used again. Since you can now simply wear more overall without breaking a sweat, but not yet having to pack up like a Michelin man, late summer or early autumn is the perfect time of year for glamorous looks.

A pleated midi Skirt for early Fall

I’m really into midi-length pleated skirts at the moment. When styled correctly, these look super stylish and anything but old-fashioned. Plus, they flutter so wonderfully in the autumn wind and hug your legs perfectly, as my reel on Instagram proves. As long as it’s pleasantly warm, I wear the skirts with bare legs. But when it starts to get cooler, I combine them with glamorous nylons.

Perfect for Fall: Beautiful Cardigans

Cardigans go wonderfully with pleated skirts and can even look really glamorous thanks to sparkling embroidery. It becomes particularly seductive when a pretty lace bra (mine is from Hunkemöller*) peeks out.

In addition to the previously mentioned nylons, an umbrella should of course not be missing in autumn. Because let’s be honest: especially in our latitudes, the golden season is often just one thing: wet. Sparkling earrings provide the necessary dose of glamor and a fake ponytail (e.g. via Amazon*) stays in perfect shape even in high humidity.

    Absolutely love the look! Works perfectly with moody weather. Thank you for plugging your insta. I just followed you! I’m finding myself vacillating between wanting to embody the preppy look and wanting to swish elegantly down the sidewalk.
