It's so hard to say goodbye to Summer, but more difficult than parting with the long days and our ice cream diet is leaving behind our warm-weather wardrobes. Whether you were wearing breezy striped dresses or comfy furry slides, it's time to pack them up until next year and part ways as you would your beach-house friends.
But the news isn't all bad, because we've been saying "see you in September" to a few exciting new trends [1] that will seamlessly fill the void [2]. These eight style swaps will make you look so fresh for Fall, from your retro hat all the way down to your sock boots.
