SUMMER so FALL fargo style

Warm days and cool nights require a wardrobe that can do double duty. Take your closet from summer to fall with key transition pieces from a few of our favorite downtown Fargo boutiques.

Lace Dress

A lace dress is a flirty, feminine statement piece that can look romantic or bohemian, depending on how it’s styled. Try it with bare legs and flat sandals when the weather’s warm and opaque tights and ankle boots when the mercury drops. A cropped leather or faded denim jacket gets that mix of sweet and street just right.

Plaid Button Down

This unassuming layering piece works for summer music festivals and fall bonfires. Pick a plaid you love (ideally one containing a color that shows up elsewhere in your closet) and rock it with jeans, over a flirty dress, as a bathing suit cover-up or tucked into a pencil skirt for work.

Booties

Sandals are great summer shoes, but not if you’re going to be in a crowd. Booties with a cut-out detail protect your toes at outdoor concerts and farmers markets and keep your feet cool. And they look great with tights all fall and winter long.

Chunky Knit Sweater

A cozy sweater is a must-have for fall, but it’s surprisingly useful during the last days of summer as well. Throw it over jean shorts on a chilly night or layer it over a filmy skirt on those exasperating summer days that dawn close to freezing and heat up to roasting by noon.

Black Jeans

Wide leg, high-waisted or cropped, gaucho style jeans are on-trend for summer and will transition seamlessly into fall when paired with a comfy sweater or soft wrap. The ultra dark wash makes even trendy cuts seem polished, so try black denim with a tailored blazer or classic cashmere for an updated casual Friday look.
