When the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to fall, it’s clear the holidays are approaching. It’s one reason why fall is so many people’s favorite season, but that chill in the air also means you will need to make some changes to your wardrobe.
Say goodbye to your flip flops and bathing suits in exchange for hats and scarves instead, and consider pushing your tank tops and shorts to the back of your drawer to make room for sweaters and boots.
However, you don’t have to shop for one season or the other. No matter what your style, there are some great shirts, pants and shoes that will work in either season and save you the trouble of having to update your wardrobe when it starts to get a little cooler out.
