Fall Wardrobe Refresh in Kansas City: Shop Your Signature Colors with Confidence
How to Transition Your Closet for Fall
Warm September days don’t exactly inspire us to start transitioning our closets for fall. But this is actually a wonderful time to take a look.
Start With a Late Summer Closet Inventory
A hot afternoon is the perfect time to notice what you loved wearing this summer—and what stayed on the hanger.
Take an inventory of your closet and pay attention to the pieces you reached for again and again. Those are your staples. Put them together in your closet and begin thinking about the outfits you can build around them.
Fall Colors, Textures and New Arrivals
And then there’s fall apparel!
Stores are beginning to show rich, deep warm tones alongside beautiful, vivid cool colors. We’re also seeing interesting textures and updated designs. If you’re adding something new, this is a good time to look for a staple piece in one of your Signature Colors or seasonal neutrals.

Where should you prioritize your Signature Colors?
Signature Colors Belong Closest to Your Face
Start with the pieces closest to your face: blouses, tees, sweaters, scarves and jackets. These colors have the greatest impact because they create harmony with your natural coloring.
Seasonal Neutrals for Pants, Skirts and Jeans
Your deeper seasonal neutrals are wonderful for pants, skirts and jeans. They’re practical, forgiving and can be a beautiful alternative—or addition—to black.
Think of your closet as a place in transition.
Look for anchor pieces you love and can wear year after year, then mix in an interesting trend or two that gives your wardrobe a little pop. You don’t need to replace everything today. Replace things as you need to, and make each new purchase count.
