When Fall Finally Arrives
Fall eventually arrives—often suddenly. One day, you’re walking through your neighborhood in shorts, and the next, a crispness in the air catches you off guard. The leaves turn, and with that change comes the thrill of breaking out your favorite sweaters and boots. Those perfect, fleeting weeks of fall are a Chicagoan’s reward for making it through the uncertainty of the seasonal transition.
It’s a fashion sweet spot. Layering becomes an art form, mixing cozy knits with statement jackets and scarves. That brief window where the weather aligns perfectly with our fall wardrobes is a moment of pure style satisfaction. The air is cool, the skies are clear, and we can finally dress without worrying about sweating through our clothes by noon.
But just as we settle into fall’s embrace, the days grow shorter, and the temperature drops. Winter is on its way, and soon, we’ll be piling on the layers again, trading style for survival.
