As the days become shorter and the air turns cooler, the Autumnal Equinox welcomes a transformational change. When nature bursts into color with vibrant hues of red, gold, brown, orange and green, it's the perfect time to embrace this time of year with your seasonal style.
What Is The Autumnal Equinox, And When Is It?
The Autumnal Equinox marks the start of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere around September 22 or 23 each year. At this time, the sun is directly above the Earth's equator, making day and night nearly equal in length. After the equinox, days become shorter and nights longer in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, this change marks the start of Spring.
