What to wear after Labor Day? We are gearing up for the “Swing Season” – transition from summer to fall. This one somehow feels more extreme than the other changes in seasons because we go from the heavenly days of casual summer dressing to the exacting expectations of the fall fashion season in New York City. Black and White is such a perfect way to make the change smoothly and NET-A-PORTER has a fantastic selection. Buy and wear these tops now with crisp white slacks or jeans, then pair it with a fabulous pair of black or brightly colored bottoms for fall – it is the best of both worlds.
