Autumn is almost here. It’s said that this is the most pleasant time of the year in Hong Kong,

with the cooler breezes, clearer skies and dryer air making everything feel fresh and charming.

 

In Hong Kong, there is no shortage of scenic spots for us to enjoy the beauty of the changing season, from waterfront promenade to hiking trails.

In such Instagrammable places, taking pictures is the order of the day. But while you want to capture the wonders of nature in pictures,

wouldn’t you also love to be part of the beautiful scenery and get that perfect click of yourself?

It’s time to style yourself to perfect your shots, so that you’ll still pop amid the beautiful autumn foliage!

Here are a few tips to help you stand out in the magnificent season:

【Tip 1: The apt apparel】 

Clothes can make or break an image. When you are part of a photo that has an eye-catching, stunning background - be it the sunset or yellow and orange autumn leaves - you are literally competing with the objects out there. Choosing the right outfit is, therefore, crucial if you want to appear more striking than everything else in an autumn shot.

 

While smart, casual and simple clothing items can help you pop against the bright colours of fall, burgundy, crimson and lilac - all on trend in fall 2022 - can also make yourself stick out as they are bold and powerful colours and yet have a comforting tone that goes well with autumn. If you are heading to country parks, fashionable fitness gear items like sweatpants, sports bras and leggings, will also do the job. For more inspirations, check out the fall collections of athleisure brands such as lululemon.

【Tip 2: Put your best feet forward】 

Since part of your mission is to capture the spectacular scenes of autumn, many of the pictures are likely to be long or wide shots. In other words, you don’t just need the right clothes but also the right shoes to highlight yourself as the protagonist, making sure you don’t completely blend in with everything else in a fetching autumn shot.

 

With the general shift towards comfort today, a cool pair of sneakers can easily help you up the style quotient. Besides, if the scenic spot you visit takes a bit of walking to get to, or require you to climb up some high point to catch that ethereal autumn sunset, you definitely need something comfy. If the clothes you’re wearing have more than one colours, sneakers in plain white, as opposed to loud colours, are preferable. After all, autumn is a colourful season itself and you should look different in order to stand out. All in all, footwear brands that carry both style and substance, such as Superga from Italy, should have what you need this season.

【Tip 3: Shades that shine 】

Sunglasses are another fashion item that can instantly make you look fabulous against a gorgeous backdrop of autumn leaves. But don’t just get any pair of shades as you need one that matches your face shape. Nowadays eyewear brands like Gentle Monster offer a vast array of designs and so there’s bound to be something that suits you.

 

But before you head out to your favourite scenic spot with your stylish sunglasses, you may want to try a few selfies at home to know what angles make you look best. Also, be extra careful about reflections if you are taking selfies - look out for angles that won’t show your arm in the reflection!
