Dresses are an absolute staple in a wardrobe. People often have dresses they wear during summer on holiday when the weather is nice and they don’t want to think about their outfit too much. Most dresses are short or don’t have long sleeves. But don’t worry! Here is a guide on how you can style your dresses in a way that is appropriate for autumn weather.
Blazers
Ever since the Copenhagen style became a trend, we’ve seen blazers everywhere. Matilda Djerf is often seen in an oversized blazer and they also fit the old money style very well. Even though they are in line with the current trends, blazers are a timeless piece that make a casual outfit a bit more elevated and add an interesting layer to an outfit. Therefore, they are perfect to layer on top of dresses for a warmer and more interesting touch.
Sweaters
Another cute way to layer dresses is to wear something on top of the dress. For autumn this could be a cute sweater. The sweater adds some warmth to the outfit. It also adds versatility to the outfit. By layering a sweater, you turn a dress into a skirt. A tip on how to do this is to use a belt so you can tug the sweater under the belt and add some shape and definition to the outfit.
Cardigans
This one might be the most obvious item on this list, but it is a classic option and creates a cute look for the days that are in between hot and cold. Especially a cropped cardigan that is buttoned at the top looks very elevated when paired with a cute dress. It also allows to add a new color into the outfit, which makes the outfit more interesting.
Poncho
Another element that adds a lot of elegance to an outfit. A poncho is a very versatile item that can be worn in many different ways, and therefore creates a different look every time. Wearing a poncho (or big scarf) over a dress looks even better when the waist is accentuated by using a belt. This gives more shape to the outfit.
