Dressing the Man: How to Transition Between Summer and Fall

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

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! Ā  Ā Ā 


The Oxford Shirt:Ā 
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. Ā 

Ā Ā 
The Tweed Blazer:

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

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

The Flannel:Ā 
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. Ā Ā 

The White Jeans:
White denim is often seen as taboo in the manā€™s closetā€¦ mostly because many men donā€™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. Ā 


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:
Chinoā€™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.Ā 

Ā  Ā Ā 

The Cardigan:Ā 

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

Ā 

The Desert Boot:Ā 

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

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 havingĀ fashionable man candy on your arm will work wonders for your own image, too!Ā

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.
