Though a new season is right around the corner, the weather doesn't always quite match up. The Interrobang came up with three simple and fun looks to easily transition your favourite dresses and skirts from summer to fall.

It’s official. School is in session and studying replaces those long hot summer days lounging around the pool.

With a new year, means fall is slowly, but surely creeping up on us, not that it’s a bad thing. In fact, fall is definitely a pretty popular season. However, if you’ve been paying attention, in general no matter what the calendar year says, Mother Nature never tends to be done kicking the heat up a notch. It’s a given that for the most part, it’s still fairly warm for the first month or two of classes and it’s no use going all out with your new jeans, sweaters, boots and any other fall related clothing pieces typically seen once the weather cools down. It’s back to that awkward stage where it may be cool during the morning commute and perhaps later in the evening, but for most of the day, the sun and heat are still beaming strong. It can be hard to not only figure out what to wear, but you might also want to continue wearing some key pieces like dresses or skirts for the next while. Good news is, it’s definitely possible to keep wearing these items going into the late summer, early fall and for some, full on fall season.

With that being said, The Interrobang came up with three simple, yet doable and chic outfits that can be worn from summer into fall and with items you may already have in your wardrobe.

Look Number One:

This look is classic and easy to manage in both the heat and with a chill in the air. It combines a number of layering pieces that can be worn all together or individually. Take your favourite casual (or fancy) summer dress of any colour, shape or size and pair it with a light to medium weight jacket or sweater. Jean jackets are practical since they can easily be transitioned from summer to fall. Pair it with a lightweight to medium weight scarf and for a full fall feel, add some boots of your choice, such as these ankle boots and you’re set to go. It’s as simple as that and you’ll be ready in style for whatever temperatures come your way.

Look Number Two:

Skirts are like dresses and can easily be transitioned from summer to fall with a smidge of layering. This look is simple, yet chic, cozy and easy to master. All it takes are some tights/nylons/stockings (whatever you like best to wear as warmth for your legs) and a midlength shirt to turn a summer style skirt to another simple, yet flattering and fun outfit. This way, you can still wear that trendy skirt for much longer than you might have expected. Depending on the style and choice of skirt and top you match together, the outfit may be completed with some jewelry (like the pictured simple necklace). For shoes, it all depends on what you’re interested in, but if the outfit has minimal prints and perhaps a bit of colour blocking (matching twotoned colours together), wearing a funky boot with a neat print, design or hardware on it would make the outfit stand out nicely. Either way, this outfit is sure to make you feel comfortable, stylish and full of confidence heading into the new school year.

Look Number Three:

This final look is all about layering up to compliment your skirt. As previously mentioned, denim is a timeless classic trend that doesn’t have any plans of going out of style just yet. This time around, the return of the denim skirt is still something quite popular, even though it’s been around for the past two seasons. Acting as a staple piece for fall, what better way to have a summer to autumn look than with a denim skirt? The key to making this outfit have a more fall feel is to pair it with a layered top. This can be made simple with a three-quarter length top, or a short sleeve top of any sort (floral tops like the one pictured may or may not be groundbreaking for spring, but they still work for fall). Next, simply match the top over a collared, buttoned down top. This is a sleek and preppy look that fits nicely with the cooler weather, but still leaves room to breathe with the skirt and lightweight material of the tops. Pair it again with any kind of footwear you please and you’re set to go. This outfit gives off a professional look, while still feeling a bit summery.
