This weekend it literally felt like someone flipped the switch on the seasons. Without a warning, our sunny days have been swapped out with dark, cloudy & dreary afternoons. With weather like this seemingly coming at us quickly, it is only natural to start thinking about clothes for the inclement weather to come. 

While I'm not too thrilled that the summer may be over, call it a symptom of summertime sadness, the silver lining on the autumn ahead of us is the great clothes we get to wear. Autumn always brings with it colorful foliage, pumpkin spice lattes & perfect weather to sport our favorite sweaters. Out of all the different types of outerwear, I have to say sweaters are my favorite. Call me boring, but the following sweater types have always been classic for the fall. The reason why crew necks, cardigans & cable knit sweaters have stood the test of time is that they pair well with everything. They're statement pieces that can really make an outfit stand out among others. What are your personal favorite wardrobe pieces for the fall? Are you excited to put away your swim trunks & shorts as I am?

Blame it all on the sweltering heat that seems to be engulfing the US right now, but I have seemed to try to avoid at all costs anything long sleeved. While some of us may be lucky to get away with it at work, I mostly recommend to rock these looks post 9-5 as I feel you should always dress for what you want to become in work & in life. 

Short-sleeved collard shirts are a perfect way to beat the heat while still looking polished & put together. The best part of the short-sleeved shirt is that it can easily transition with your day & never look out of place. From a morning coffee run, up until a dinner with loved ones, you'll never looked under dressed in the following selections. A great style of shirt that I've been really digging & seeing everywhere are popovers. Popover shirts are kind of like your traditional shirt in which there are buttons on the front, but these shirts stop halfway, adding an air of ease and comfort for those who have an aversion to traditional looks, for example the Gant Rugger Cotton Oxford Popover pictured above. Try to stick to cotton or other lightweight fabrics like linen to keep extra cool as the temperatures keep getting higher.

Wild Prints For Spring

Spring is about embracing the warmer weather, longer days and bright colors around the city. While being bold and standing out in your sartorial style may not be for everyone, take a chance on prints this season. Prints are a sure-fire way to stand out from the crowd and celebrate your individuality. Mix different kinds of prints into your daily wardrobe and get inspired by art, Aztec ruins and florals. How To Wear It The first must-have thing that comes with wearing prints, is confidence, don't let the print wear you. Make sure you keep the other pieces of your wardrobe that day to something neutral or a dark basic since most likely the print will be the main focus. DO try to stand out but DON'T look like you walked out of the 70s with clashing prints. Prints go best with black, but dark hues are OK too.
