Summer is done, and a new Autumn season is among us. During this time, everyone switches from complaining about the heat to fantasize about fall fashion and Halloween. A season filled with warm tones, tall boots, and my all-time favorite piece, woven sweaters. But what people forget is that this time around, retailers have their End of the Summer sale. A promotion dedicated to slashing prices on their spring/summer collections. These are the best times to stock up on merchandise. As we all know, spring color trends are sorbet pastel colors like lavender, mint green, teal, periwinkle, and a hint of yellow. When one thinks of spring, one reminisces of those colors. The pinnacle of splurging on these clothes would result in stashing in the closet until next year. There is even a possibility the apparel be considered dated and maybe even forgotten or discarded. As a broke fashionista, I wondered if the merchandise from these sales could transition into fall attire.


To answer my question, I went to Instagram and asked my followers. I posted a poll on my stories and let my friends answer; the result was an amicable 50/50 of yes and no. It was at that moment that I manifested a fashionable contrive. The investigation was divided into three sections. The first incision was to locate discounted merchandise on several high-end retailers. The quest was to settle for apparel in spring color with fall silhouettes; sweaters, dresses, etc. The second part of this probe was to thoroughly search through Vogue's Runway for Designers FW21 (Fall /Winter) collections. The final part of the inquiry was to explore fashion influencer's Instagram for past fall outfits. The idea was to spot attire that had spring hues but was photographed during the fall season. Through my investigation, I was surprised by all the content I found. I united all my research into a presentation.


The first section of the contrive was a thorough search on high-end retailers' sale collections. The initial task was to visit popular luxury retail sites like Moda Operandi, Net-a-Porter, Luisaviaroma, etc. As predicted, most of their merchandise was from last year's designer's Spring/Summer Collection. I was able to locate inventories that matched my criteria; spring colors in fall silhouettes. Through this section, I quickly envisioned many of the merchandise in fall styling and setting. The selections offered in those retailers can transition with the right pairing and accessories.


After I finished the first half of the investigation, I exhausted through the wonders of the Vogue Runway. To be specific, I searched through their presented series of Fall/Winter 2021 designer collections. To be accurate and honest with the investigation, I went through the entire selection in search of the criteria. Surprisingly, an extensive range of luxury brands incorporated spring hues to fall/winter silhouettes. The primary hues presented in those collections were pink, light blue, lavender, and soft yellow. For intense, Angel Chen's FW21 showcase was an ensemble of watercolored/tied-dye pastel hues inaugurated with winter accessories like fur-like muffs, bucket hats, and scarves. Pucci's latest collection was inspired by retro patterns embraced in soft colors like pink and purple. Like Chen and Pucci, a string of designers strived away from dark/neutral garments and embodied a different approach to the fall/winter color wheel.


The final conduction to this investigation was a thorough sweep through Instagram. For this stage, I enlisted a group of Instagram's most-followed/favorite fashion influencers; Aimee Song, Camila Coelho, Danielle Bernstein, Chiara Ferragni, Negin Mirsalehi, and Blair Eadie. These influencers have made successful careers within the fashion industry and are highly respected in their skill. Many aspired to them for their sense of styling, like me. A majority of my style and purchases were influenced by them. Their brands and Instagram showcase a large variety of styles infused with a range of colors. To be honest with the project, I searched deep into their posts, hoping to retrieve an image of them in spring colors during fall. Luckily, I obtained a couple photographs of these influencers in the desired colors and time. This section of the investigation demonstrates the combination of the two ideas in an outfit.


All the information accumulated throughout this process proves that, yes, spring colors can transition into fall. As seen in the presentation, many designers displayed a range of pastel colors with winter attire in their latest FW collections. Also, fashion influencers have demonstrated that the colors can be rocked in Autumn. Fashion is ever-changing, just like the season. We are accustomed to adapting to the moment and settings. But as we progress more profoundly into the decades, we need to break from fashion norms and embrace change. This project was a declaration of inspiring consumers that it's okay to wear different colors during cooler seasons. Instead of stocking up for next year, wear the pieces all seasons rather than forgetting or discarding them. By recycling last season's garments, you can help as well be a trendsetter. With the proper styling, spring colors can be trendy and brighten up dark-cold times.


Thank you to all the followers that contributed to the poll.
