September Supplements: Vintage Designer Clothing

We’re starting to feel the closing of summer. The evenings are getting darker, the mornings are cooler, the leaves are starting to crisp and your wooly jumpers are getting ready for their imminent moment to shine.

Leaving the summer months behind for another year and entering into the Autumnal season isn’t necessarily a sad thing. Who doesn’t love cosy nights in, going for walks along crunchy auburn paths and wrapping up in your favourite jumper with matching scarf and gloves? Whilst this summer has been a pretty good one, here at Messina Hembry, we’re more than a little bit excited to show off our range of Autumn designer vintage clothing and help you look your absolute best throughout the nation’s favourite season.

September is a funny month for fashion. There are still very warm days amongst the majority of cooler days and you can feel like you’ve entered a different climate in the afternoon from what it was like in the morning. Therefore, this month we want to show you our range of ‘September Supplements’; the items of clothing that will help keep you warm but can be easily changed or removed to adjust to the slightly unpredictable September weather. We also like to think of these garments as filling in the gaps that the sun left you – mainly, the heat! Use these to make your outfit look great and keep you the right temperature throughout the day.

Light Jacket

The trusty old jacket: the easiest way to change your outfit and look great either way. The trick is to get a jacket that can look totally in the right place outdoors or indoors, whether that’s in the office, going out for lunch or going see a friend. We’ve chosen this particular vintage Fred Perry jacket because it can be worn open or zipped up, inside or outside and will go with pretty much anything.

Versatile Blazer

Again, all hail the almighty jacket that can be warmed up with a jumper underneath and enables you to change temperature instantly without needing to change your look. We’re recommending this vintage Massimo Dutti blazer as one of our September supplements because it's super stylish for this season and it can be easily dressed up or down to create a number of versatile looks.

Cardigan Sweater

These fantastic things are a great way to easily change your temperature throughout the day whilst also looking stylish. Here we have a bold vintage Banana Republic cardigan sweater that is not only fashionable but hugely practical. Pair this with jeans, suit trousers, a skirt or dress, this is a great September supplement and way of ensuring you can get warm or cool whenever you need.

Reliable Jumper

Here we have the most obvious option for Autumn: a good old jumper. We have a vast selection of on then vintage designer jumpers waiting for their moment to shine this Autumn. However, the one we've selected as an example for you is a green vintage Il Granchio. This relatively light weight cable knit jumper is what your Autumn wardrobe is calling out for. It can be worn in a number of ways: with shorts, with jeans, with a shirt underneath, with suit trousers, as part of a heavier layering outfit.

Half Sleeved Dress

With September weather it can be hard to know whether to go for long or short sleeves when heading out of the house. We recommend going for half sleeves and a cardigan or jacket can always be worn to help keep you warm. Dark green is one of this Autumn's colours - as is the drop-waist which is why this vintage Jessica Simpson dress is definitely on our September Supplements list. Although it's not an easily removable garment like our others, it's perfect for the summer to Autumn transition.  

Wool Blazer

Wool blazers are making a huge comeback in men's fashion this Autumn and there's not better time to get ahead of the trend than now. Here we have a vintage Hugo Boss blazer that screams Autumn but can removed at any point to reveal your shirt underneath and keep you cool. This works great for a night out, a date or in the office.
