Don’t pack away those summer dresses just yet. Summer may be over, but that cute frock you’ve been rotating can still shine in the cooler months with a little clever layering. Here’s how to give your summer faves an autumn‑ready update that feels fresh, effortless and fashion‑forward.
Dress over pants
Fashion lovers everywhere give layering a dress over pants a big yes. It’s the perfect way to stretch your summer wardrobe into cooler months while looking effortlessly chic. Try a midi slip dress with tailored trousers and pumps or chunky loafers for the office. Top it off with a cute knit, and you’ve got a look that’s equal parts cosy and cool.
