Dressing the Man: How to Transition Between Summer and Fall

Transitioning between those hot summer months into warmer early fall months can be tricky, especially when you live in Charleston where one day we could have a chilly 60° day and the next a hot sweltering 95°. Here’s a list of easy-to-wear and trendy fall transition pieces for the man.   

The Denim Jacket:

This classic piece is not only the perfect layering jacket for a traditional fall look, but it also translates to your spring wardrobe too!     


The Oxford Shirt: 
This is a season-less piece that has collegiate fall written all over it. Transition easily from a cool summer night to a brisk fall day.  

  
The Tweed Blazer:

This piece is no longer just for Professors and Hipsters, Tweed is everywhere this season, and it’s the perfect way to dress up a casual fall look. Bonus points if the blazer has elbow patches!  

The Tortoise Shell:
Tortoise Shell is huge right now and goes great with the fall color palate.   

The Flannel: 
Flannel can be pretty heavy for those summer/fall transition months, but a lightweight flannel in a buffalo check or a plaid print can add some color and character to your fall collection.   

The White Jeans:
White denim is often seen as taboo in the man’s closet… mostly because many men don’t know how to dress with a bold white color. Fall is the perfect time to wear white because you can accent a dark bold earth tone with white.  


The Barbour Vest

A great light-weight vest in a classic fall color that turns any outfit into the perfect fall ensemble.


The Color Chino:
Chino’s in a bold fall color like Olive or Burnt Orange can set you apart from the crowd this fall! Be sure to keep the rest of your outfit in the same family of colors. Add a printed poplin shirt to bring the runway to the streets. 

    

The Cardigan: 

This perfect light-weight sweater makes it easy to warm up and stay trendy.  

 

The Desert Boot: 

No footwear says fall like the Desert Boot and it's an easy way to give any outfit a classic fall look. 

So men, impress your girlfriends this fall season by dressing trendy for her for a change. And ladies, take this opportunity to dress up your man. He'll appreciate it when he gets the extra looks and having fashionable man candy on your arm will work wonders for your own image, too!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
