Cinderella Ladies’ Festival lines up fur, velvet and darker patterns for the cooler rainy season

-

With the change in the seasons, how does our wardrobe transition from the easygoing ebb of our summer dresses into the cozy cover-ups of this cooler rainy season?

Cinderella’s Ladies’ Festival lines up just the right outfits for the transition. With a collection of darker patterns, fur and velvet, here are examples of how to dress for this season’s occasions.

DARE TO DRESS Dress: Anna Alba Shoes: GIBI

Strut into a formal dinner in these ruffled Anna Alba skirt-and-top combos. In the deep colors of dark red and emerald green, it’s a lot livelier than just your go-to little black dress and is sure to turn heads in the room as you walk in with your heels from GIBI.

COOL COVER-UPS Dress: Vatican Shoes: GIBI Necklace: Karat World

As the weather changes so often within the day, it’s hard to dress up when it’s hot one minute and pouring the next. The easiest way to hack this situation is to always have a cover-up available. Whether it’s an autumnal-printed vest from Vatican or a feminine kimono from Coral Couture, it’s wise to always have one on hand.

PASTELS, PLEASE Gown: Ishta Necklace and ring: Karat World

Just because the weather is cooler doesn’t mean that light colors and pastels are off-limits. In fact, these muted hues are a fresh look. Ishta’s pastel gowns are perfect for that work cocktail dinner you’ve been invited to. Or saunter into the party in this blush-pink Verve short dress.

PLAY WITH PATTERNS Ensemble: British India Necklace: Silnag

The season’s requiring a bit more coverage needn’t stop us from being playful with what we wear. For casual get-togethers, grab cool, ethnic prints from British India, or go for maxi printed dresses that deliver coverage. Vatican’s splatter-patterned maxi dress, tied at the chest, is just the coolest.

MIX AND MATCH Dress: Verve Fur vest: Vatican

Maybe you’ve got some favorite summer pieces you still want to flaunt this season. Balance them out with some weather-appropriat­e wear, like how this floral Verve dress is paired with a Vatican fur vest and ankle boots. Or match a summer dress with a velvet hat — it’s all about mixing and matching what you have on hand.
