How to turn Summer Whites into Autumn Grunge Deluxe...

• White maxi skirt...

Your summer white maxi actually makes an easy switch into Autumn with a chunky knit sweater and tough utilitarian booties to balance out the lightness and add some warmth.

• Lace LWD...

Anchor your lacy LWD with a military-hued anorak and desert booties for a polished, on-the-go Autumn style — then add your ladylike purse to play up the dress's girly feel.

• White skinnies...

To take the summery feel out of white skinnies, add a darker palette on top with plaid print. Then, play to Autumn texture with a faux fur vest and edgier studded flats for an unexpected finish.

• White maxi dress...

A white maxi is the perfect counterpart to Autumn staples, like a great denim shirt or jacket, and a pair of chunky-soled ankle boots. To give it just a hint of luxe, add in a leather tote and cinch the waist with cool leopard print.

• White shirt dress...

For your white shirt dress, the Autumn alternative is easy — take advantage of the length and pair it with cool leather pants or leggings. Layer on your favorite sweater and finish off with a pair of oxfords for a style you can hang in all season — even at the office.
