First Day of Fall: Find Your Style

At Michael’s, we update our store seasonally so you will always see fresh new products when you’re ready to make a change. We also adhere to all styles and fashion staples because everyone is different in their take on sweater weather and transitional dressing. Are you bohemian chic and require layers of woven sweaters in different colors? Or are you all class with some enviable tailored pieces? Maybe neither. Maybe you live for the shock and spice an outfit can bring. Some people are still searching for their style and we're here to help. Despite the differences in how we all dress, the fact is that we’re going to have to adapt to the new season whether we’d like to or not. Check out our recommendations on how to stay true to your style with some amazing pieces available at Michaels.

Transitioning to Fall Tips and Tricks

The classic bi-annual dilemma: you leave your house in the morning and you’re freezing, you take a lunch break midday and you’re sweating, you head home for the night and once again you’re freezing. Every year we’re faced with the impossibility of dressing for those in between seasons that aren’t quite hot and aren’t quite cool. The transition into fall, for some, proves difficult because you may not know whether to lean more toward the summer side of style or the winter. How do you dress for cooler weather while maintaining the look of it being warm out? Or vice versa? Should we dress more like summer in September and more like winter in October? Read more to find out how we deal with this decision...

Designer Spotlight: Olympics Edition

Just over a week from now marks the start of the much anticipated Tokyo Olympics. With an extra year of waiting for these events due to the pandemic, many of us are antsy to watch the passing of the torch, the flipping of the gymnasts, and the chart on our television screens adding up our country’s golds, silvers, and bronzes. The competition, of course, does not stop at the athletic capability of each country. Like all televised events, there is an undeniable (although, unspoken) competition of the best dressed. Read more about some American designers that deserve gold!
