How to Revive Your Summer Wardrobe

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

Before you shove those cute summer dresses you bought a few months ago into the back of your closet to make space for that trendy motorcycle jacket you just bought, remember that you can give those spring/summer clothes new life by wearing them with the right fall pieces. Burgundy is this fall’s hottest color so the easiest way to give your summer clothes a new look is by adding on burgundy colored fall pieces.

 A motorcycle jacket added to jean shorts gives them a tough, edgy look while the jean shorts and a good pair of high heels will balance the look by playing up your legs.

Pairing a burgundy cardigan with a floral dress will bring a new texture to the outfit and the burgundy color in the cardigan will soften the loud print and colors of the summer dress.
