I
have been meaning to write this post for a while now, but I just didn’t get
down to doing it. Anyhow, here it is, now J
It
is officially Fall/Autumn in Delhi I mean it is October end and early mornings
and evenings and are kind of nippy, and in all honesty, I can almost do without
a fan!
So
today I’ll just talk about some (6, to be precise) clothing items and
accessories that will help us transition in to Fall/Autumn.
1. Denim
Shirt/Denim Jacket/Chambray Shirt- I think a denim shirt/jacket is a great
‘completer’ piece to have in one’s wardrobe. It can be teamed-up with a pair of
jeans or skirt or it can be layered with a tee/dress underneath it. When it
starts to get cold, but it isn’t so cold as to use a sweater or a warm jacket,
I love adding a denim shirt over my regular tee to keep me cozy. You can have a
look at how I wear my denim/chambray shirt here, here and here.
2. Scarf:
Actually, scarves are my favourite accessories and I firmly believe that they
can be used all year round- what with the huge variety they come in?! In Fall/Autumn,
a warm, snuggly scarf always comes in handy. You can always carry a scarf in
your handbag and come evening, you can throw it around your neck. Also, if
you’re wearing a neutral or dull outfit, a scarf is a great way to introduce a
pop of colour and make the outfit interesting. Similarly, if you’re wearing a
solid outfit, a printed scarf is a great way to add some pattern to the look. I
wear scarves on a regular basis and you can see some of the outfits here and
here.
3. Coloured
Pants: Floral Pants- I heart coloured pants. Really! They are just so versatile
and can be teamed up with more top and tees than you actually think. I have
coral and burgundy maroon and I have gotten so much use out of them. You know
in the changing seasons, when it’s dusk at 5pm, and the streets seem quiet and
empty, a bright pair of pants help uplift the mood. Well they are more fun than
the regular ones- that’s for sure! And if you want to experiment a little, you
could always get yourself a pair of floral trousers. Remember the one I bought-
I was a little skeptical in the beginning but I have grown to love them.
4. Cardigans-
A couple of light-weight cardigans are your best bet in Fall/Autumn. They keep
you cozy and add interest as a 3rd piece to the outfit. I don’t know
why people always associate cardigans with winters! Nowadays there’s so much
variety in the market- you get nice, bright lightweight cotton/mixed cardigans
that aren’t super warm- basically they are perfect for this weather. I use mine
at work as well, just cause I sometimes can’t bear the AC. Also, a coloured
cardigan is almost as good as a neutral one. Don’t believe me, see how I wear my teal cardigan here, here,
here and here.
5. Ballet
Flats: Ballet flats in black, beige or other such neutral colour really come in
use at this time of the year- you can wear them to work and play. And they
protect your feet from the cold wind.
6. Leggings:
Can be worn under tunics and dresses when it gets cold to go bare leg. They are
great for keeping the chill away, and since they come in variety of colours,
one can choose from a huge colour palette. I usually wear mine with tunics and
dresses.
Now this list is not an exhaustive list by any means, I just
jotted these items down based on my personal use and experience. Autumn/Fall is the
time where it’s not exactly cold but evenings and early morning definitely get
nippy. And if you’re like me and like keeping cozy, then the above items will
help you do just that, and that too in a fun and interesting way (I’m talking
about coloured pants and funky scarves)!
