It’s not just those blue skies and sun shiny days that we will miss about summer. It’s those floral and flirty dresses and tops, those great shorts and those flowing skirts. But, don’t pack away your summer staples just yet. There are some easy things that you can do to transition your favorite summer looks into your new favs for fall.

Bringing your summer clothes into fall is just a sweater, boot and belt away. And what’s more is that these items are likely already in your closet.

Here are 5 easy ways to bring your summer wardrobe into fall.

Shorts

Taking your shorts from summer to fall is as is as adding stockings and a closed toe shoe. Thanks to the Duchess of Cambridge who rarely sports bare legs stockings are making a big comeback these days. A darker stocking instantly makes shorts appropriate for fall. Another great way is to pair your favorite shorts with boots and layer your top with a sweater and shirt.

Dresses

Maximize the maxi dress by adding a chunky sweater, cardigan, jean  or light leather jacket and wear it year round.

Handbags

Those light colored summer handbags can be a great accessory to darker colored fall clothes. Pair your handbags in bright hues with dark fall clothing.

Skirts

Those long floor length skirts either straight or flowy make great dresses. Hike those skirts up over your chest, belt the waist and add a cardigan.

Tops

Pair a sequins jacket with your summer shirts or a great sweater for a jazzy fall look.
