Just because a new season is here doesn’t mean you have to retire last season’s wardrobe until next year. I love styling pieces in my closet for the whole year and making new outfits out of the unexpected.
A white skirt is one of those pieces that is traditionally Spring and, especially, Summer. But who says you can’t wear it into Fall and Winter? I know the classic rule is “no white after Labor Day” but I am here to tell you that you do not have to follow any fashion “rule” you don’t like. You can push the boundaries with your style and make what you wear perfectly YOU. And is that not the how the best dressed people out there approach getting ready in the morning? When you are confident in yourself and have a personal style that you love, people will notice.
Here are 10 ways to style a classically Summer staple, the white skirt, for Fall!
Color is a big key to styling a Summer piece for Fall. Adding a traditional Fall color like this burgundy sweater on the left and chocolate brown accessories transforms this white skirt into a Fall look.
Pairing a beige sweater, classic black quilted jacket and black accessories is another fool proof way to take a white skirt from Summer to Fall.
I love combining grey and brown together. This color combination is a little unexpected and makes a great Fall outfit with a white skirt.
Texture is another key ingredient to styling a Summer skirt for the Fall season. A chunky cable knit cardigan, like the one on the left, along with chocolate brown accessories makes this white skirt look like a classic Fall look.
Maybe your style is a little more preppy nautical? You can wear your favorite navy and white stripe top, throw a navy sweater over your shoulders and add brown accessories with your white skirt and you’ll look like you stepped out of a New England Fall postcard.
A denim jacket or shirt paired with brown accessories and your white skirt looks like a casual Fall outfit.
A trench coat is always a good idea! One paired with a tan sweater, brown accessories and white skirt is an effortless Fall look.
And don’t forget about that navy blazer I know you have in your closet! Throw a white T-shirt underneath it, black accessories plus your white skirt to create a sophisticated outfit for the Fall season.
A textured cropped cardigan paired with your white skirt and brown accessories is an effortlessly chic look to wear this Fall.
Fall color and texture meet with this chocolate brown sweater, white T-shirt , chocolate brown accessories and your white skirt.
Did you notice I used the same few accessories for all of these looks? Two pairs of shoes and two bags. This is another great example of building great outfits with minimal pieces. My brown bag can be found here but everything else is vintage or old.
You can also find my white skirt here! It is 100% cotton and lined but I do still wear a skirt slip underneath it.
