Living in the tropics is really wonderful because we get to walk around in lightweight tank tops, tube tops, and swishy skirts all day long. When you think about, the ideal dress code for Indonesian weather is really about economy of fabric; but while I enjoy living in the tropics, I would be lying if I told you that I don’t miss the fun and creativity that came with dressing up for the fall and winter. Fall was my favorite season, with temperatures cool enough to justify black tights under knee-length skirts but warm enough for pulled-up hair.  I miss hot apple cider and colorful leather gloves, and I also miss feeling the weight of a warm, heavy coat on my shoulders.

The author in cooler climes. The coats you see in this photoset come from (clockwise top to bottom) H&M, Zara, J. Crew, American Eagle.

So it is with a sense of severe envy that I open pack after press pack of images that contain the Fall/Winter ’13 collections of ready-to-wear brands. I don’t think I’ll be needing to wear heavy cable-knit sweaters and wool scarves anytime soon, but if you’re jetting off to cooler climes in the near future, take a tip from these Fall/Winter looks from either side of the Atlantic Ocean.
