Coat, scarf, boots — getting dressed for autumn in English.

The Basics: Tops and Bottoms

When the weather gets cool, we start to change what we wear. A t-shirt is great for warm days, but in autumn we need a little more. Many people like to put on a warm sweater or a hoodie when the morning is cold. For the bottom half, jeans are a popular choice because they look good with almost everything. Don't forget your socks — cold feet can ruin your whole day!

Warm Layers for Cold Days

When the wind is strong, a jacket is not always enough. You may need a long, warm coat to stay comfortable. If it rains, a raincoat is a smart choice. Before you leave the house, remember to put on your coat and check the weather. When you come back home and sit by the fire, you can take off your coat and relax.

On Your Feet: Shoes and Boots

Your feet need good shoes in autumn. In the city, many people wear sneakers, but on rainy days, boots keep your feet dry and warm. Boots are also nice for walking in the park when the leaves fall. When you go shopping for new shoes, you should try on both shoes and walk around the shop. Walking in new shoes before you buy them helps you choose the right pair.

Little Extras: Scarves, Gloves, and Hats

Small things can make a big difference on a cold day. A soft scarf around your neck keeps you warm and looks nice, too. Gloves protect your hands when you ride a bike or wait for the bus. A hat or a beanie is great for keeping your head warm. If you don't have an umbrella, a hat can also keep a little rain off your face. On special days, some people like to dress up and wear all these things in matching colours.
