Dressing the Man: How to Transition Between Summer and Fall

Transitioning between those hot summer months into warmer early fall months can be tricky, especially when you live in Charleston where one day we could have a chilly 60° day and the next a hot sweltering 95°. Here’s a list of easy-to-wear and trendy fall transition pieces for the man.   

The Denim Jacket:

This classic piece is not only the perfect layering jacket for a traditional fall look, but it also translates to your spring wardrobe too!     


The Oxford Shirt: 
This is a season-less piece that has collegiate fall written all over it. Transition easily from a cool summer night to a brisk fall day.  

  
The Tweed Blazer:

This piece is no longer just for Professors and Hipsters, Tweed is everywhere this season, and it’s the perfect way to dress up a casual fall look. Bonus points if the blazer has elbow patches!  

The Tortoise Shell:
Tortoise Shell is huge right now and goes great with the fall color palate.   

The Flannel: 
Flannel can be pretty heavy for those summer/fall transition months, but a lightweight flannel in a buffalo check or a plaid print can add some color and character to your fall collection.   

The White Jeans:
White denim is often seen as taboo in the man’s closet… mostly because many men don’t know how to dress with a bold white color. Fall is the perfect time to wear white because you can accent a dark bold earth tone with white.  


The Barbour Vest

A great light-weight vest in a classic fall color that turns any outfit into the perfect fall ensemble.


The Color Chino:
Chino’s in a bold fall color like Olive or Burnt Orange can set you apart from the crowd this fall! Be sure to keep the rest of your outfit in the same family of colors. Add a printed poplin shirt to bring the runway to the streets. 

    

The Cardigan: 

This perfect light-weight sweater makes it easy to warm up and stay trendy.  

 

The Desert Boot: 

No footwear says fall like the Desert Boot and it's an easy way to give any outfit a classic fall look. 

So men, impress your girlfriends this fall season by dressing trendy for her for a change. And ladies, take this opportunity to dress up your man. He'll appreciate it when he gets the extra looks and having fashionable man candy on your arm will work wonders for your own image, too!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
