The arrival of October marks the brewing of a seasonal shift. It brings with itself a change in vibe to resonate with nature, leaving a tinge of brown and auburn everywhere. It is a great time to don fashion by layering and embracing rich hues to prepare the pre-fall wardrobe, exuding dynamism with style. After the summer and the rains, one should be very mindful to create a perfect blend of fashion that bids adieu to summer and braces for early autumn at the same time.


Swati Saraf, who is the President, Les Petits said, "Looking at the transforming season, a capsule wardrobe would be a great way to enjoy the best of both seasons. The wardrobe allows for layering that immensely aids in accentuating the look for the season. At the same time, coming with the flexibility to mix and match, it can create a wide range of styles by simply pairing the clothes. Layering up cashmere knitwear with a white T-shirt or turtleneck can help people radiate opulence effortlessly. To further ace the look, one can even wear cardigans as tops for a cozy and cute appearance. Choosing a waist-length cardigan can allow tucking for a sleeker silhouette promoting a more elite look."


"In addition to this, houndstooth and tweed can be a perfect addition to the wardrobe to cope with the dropping temperature. One can flawlessly experiment with it by exercising mixing and matching. Opting for bright and cheerful pop colours like lemon, and lime can make for a zesty outfit that can be paired with skirts, jeans, or dresses," she added.

  • Flannel shirts are great for layering. They come in different colors like gray, dark blue, deep red, green, and beige. Shackets are also good for staying warm and can look different. Don't forget about denim shirts — they're always a good choice. Knitwear, pullovers, polo shirts, and tees are versatile and good for layering which can be styled in numerous ways, taking your fashion game up a notch.

  • When choosing jackets and pants, go for classic colors like black, dark blue, gray, or deep green. Look for interesting textures like houndstooth, flecks, or mixtures. Sneakers or trainers in dark, not too bright colors are comfortable and look good. It's important to choose clothes that you can wear in different seasons.

  • For accessories, sunglasses should have neutral or classic colors, avoiding bright, summery styles. Use muted colors like brown, tan, red, purple, pink, green, mustard yellow, and blue. Mix and match colors, materials, and patterns to create different outfits. Pre winters / Autumn is a great time to try new styles while still keeping things balanced.
