Embrace the Change
As summer waves goodbye and autumn begins to make its presence known, the change in season invites an opportunity to refresh your wardrobe. Transitioning from summer to fall can be both exciting and challenging, but with the right approach, you can seamlessly blend the two seasons and create stylish outfits that are both practical and on trend.
One of the hallmarks of fall fashion is layering. The temperature can be unpredictable, so it's essential to create outfits that can adapt to changing conditions. Start with summer basics like your favorite tees and tanks, and add layers to build warmth. A lightweight sweater such as the Dries Van Noten Texas Sweater is the perfect transitional sweater. This sweater features a merino wool blend making it breathable, moisture wicking, and perfect for fall. This sweater will keep you cozy and still give you the vibrancy summer offers.
The Herno Cape is another piece that is essential for this transition. Besides its beautiful shape, this cape also offers a wool cashmere blend, two front patch pockets, and fringed edges. Easily throw on over a tank or t-shirt with a pair of jeans or slacks.
The last piece that'll be a staple year round is the Khaite Spencer Jacket. In dark brown black leather, this jacket is the reimagined varsity jacket. Pair with the matching Marine Pant to complete the look.
While your summer wardrobe is dominated by light, breezy fabrics like cotton and linen, fall calls for richer materials. Incorporate fabrics such as wool, flannel, and corduroy into your outfits. For example, the RRL Corduroy Shirt can add a cozy touch to a pair of jeans or pants.

It's also a great idea to switch to some cozy coverups such as the RRL Cotton Shawl made from a combination of cotton yarns, making you stay warm all season long.

Summer is all about bright and vibrant hues, but fall introduces a more muted, earthy color palette. Think deep oranges, rich browns, forest greens, and burgundy. A pair of pants such as the Massimo Alba corduroy pants in copper, or the Boglioli sweater in the color army can add these touches of warmth into your wardrobe and keep you in tune with the season.
Say goodbye to sandals and hello to boots. Fall footwear ranges from ankle boots to knee high styles and everything in between. These not only keep your feet warmer but also add a touch of sophistication to any outfit. Try Common Projects Chelsea Boots for a easy transitional boot. These boots are easy to style and comfortable to wear making them your staple boot of the season.

Outerwear is essential as you navigate the transition from summer to fall. Lightweight trench coats, leather jackets, and vests are versatile options that can work with a variety of outfits. These pieces offer just enough warmth without being too heavy, making them ideal for those cool fall mornings and evenings. One brand that does transitional seasons well is Eleventy. Opt for the Eleventy Hooded Vest or Jacket to achieve the perfect transitional outerwear pieces.
Transitioning from summer to fall is all about balance. By incorporating fall fabrics and colors into your summer wardrobe, you can create versatile outfits that keep you stylish and comfortable as the seasons change. Embrace layering, experiment with new textures, and most importantly, have fun with your fashion choices. With these tips, you’ll be ready to step into fall with confidence!
