SEASONAL SWITCH-UP

Ease your wardrobe into fall with street-style inspiration from Copenhagen Fashion Week

Pair tall boots with your mini skirts

Don’t give up that miniskirt (or your shorts) just yet! Swap your sandals for a pair of beloved boots instead.

Knee-high or mid-calf boots are a great addition to any wardrobe and a practical choice to protect legs and elevate your overall miniskirt look. Remember to invest in a versatile style in a classic colour, so you can wear them with everything.

Wear a graphic knit with your white dress White dresses are a summer staple, so it’s understandable that they’re the first to go come fall. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Layer on a graphic sweater for warmth and to add an edgier vibe to an uber feminine piece. Go for earthier, darker tones to ground the look and add further edge by pairing the outfit with in-season knee-high black boots like this fashion show guest.

Layer a white blazer over a slip dress Throw the “can’t wear white after Labour Day” rule out the window. Prematurely veering toward fall’s darker tones can be depressing when it still feels like summer, so an all-white look feels airy and fresh.

This fall, keep your slip dress in play by adding a monochromatic blazer for a strong look. Don’t be afraid to play with texture like tweed, twill or even velvet to give your outfit a bit of warmth and depth.

Add a bold-coloured or printed trench Last spring, we saw an abundance of trench coats at fashion week, and as the outerwear of choice for transitional seasons, we’re not surprised to see it so prominently in Copenhagen.

So in these chilly but not cold days, a trench is the perfect layer. Go for a bold colour or a fun print to keep the summer spirit alive and make your morning look stand out from the commuting crowd.
