Dressing for Fall in Maine
Fashion Statement
Maine’s fall weather can range from hot and sunny in the morning to freezing rain in the afternoon. It can prove a challenge to dress in this transitional time without carrying an extra bag of clothing around.
In order to navigate dressing for this season, we asked Kazeem Lawal, owner of Portland Trading Co., for his professional tips. For models, we invited Coast 93.1’s The Blake Show hosts Blake Hayes and Kelly Towle to showcase approachable fall styles with a modern flair.
