We’ve got ideas and style inspiration on what to wear in September 2020 for working from home, working out, lounging around, happy hour parties, or taking a vacation (all in a socially-distant manner, of course).

what to wear in September 2020

Just for fun, when we think about the perfect wardrobe for a new month, we like to dress in a color palette that channels the true essence of the month.

So what should we wear to channel the essential spirit of September? 

what’s the color of September?

Here at Dandelion Chandelier, we think September means a return to serious matters.  But not in a gloomy way. The month is a perfect balance of light and heavy; silly and serious; sweet and sour; escapist, and yet filled with hard truths. Winter is coming – but it’s not here yet.  

Which got us to thinking about rich jewel tones. And school uniforms. Tartan plaid. Cozy wool blankets for autumn football games. Hikes in the forest. 

So what is the essential color of the month of September? We’re feeling forest green. Emerald. Hunter green. Ivy. A deep, rich green so dark it’s almost black. The color of pine trees in the woods on an autumn hike. Of green glass bottles washed ashore on a late-summer beach.

Dark green looks good on almost anyone, and it’s an unexpected play of color in a sea of black, grey and navy. It goes well – as all neutrals do – with almost anything. Including leopard prints.

A good green is hard to find. But we’ve managed to round up some all-stars from the fall-winter 2020-21 collections.
