When you think of fall clothing, chances are chunky knit sweaters or flannels are the first items to come to mind. These clothing items may be suitable for areas where the weather drops, but they aren’t so practical if you live in a warmer climate. If you’re like me, and “cold” means 65 degrees, you are likely facing the decision of sticking with your tank tops or sweating trying to wear fall fashion. What if you didn’t have to choose? Luckily, there are a few outfits you can add to your wardrobe to keep you cool and achieve the fall look you’re going for.
1) Sweater Vest
Swap your sweater for a sweater vest to keep you cool while also feeling cozy. It looks very similar to a chunky sweater but without the added warmth from the sleeves. Style your vest with a white button-down underneath, or let it stand on its own. Pair it with jeans or a skirt, along with some boots, and you have the perfect trendy fall outfit!
2) Overalls
Overalls are a great staple when it comes to cool fall clothing. There are a variety of options on the market with shorts instead of the classic pants style, which will keep you from getting too hot. On especially hot days, pair it with a tank top or bandeau underneath for extra airflow. You can also get it in various fall colors, such as burnt orange or brown, to further embrace the fall season.
3) Plaid skirt
Plaid is popular, especially during the fall season, as it is a key part of one of the most fall fashion items out there… a flannel. Instead of melting in your thick flannel, you can still achieve this fall look by swapping it out with a plaid skirt. Pair the skirt with a graphic tee, crop top, or thin long sleeve, and you can stay cool but still be fashion-forward for fall.
