Summer Tops into Fall

A nip in the air? Take your Summer tops into Fall / Autumn and far beyond with a bit of clever layering and there's no immediate need to worry about any major changes to your wardrobe. 

Versatile items of clothing and separates that can be used throughout the year always earn my seal of approval.

Summer is short...

Summer is short in the UK and, apart from the expense, it's such a shame to tuck those pretty tops away.

How to take Summer tops into Fall

Plain t-shirts always make a useful layer, but a bold color will give warmth and definition to an outfit in the cooler months too.

Choose distinctively colored Summer tops that complement your natural coloring. They are key pieces which will team with basic neutrals all year round.
