The 3-Season Wardrobe: Pieces That Work from August to April
We’ve all been there, buying something for just one season, only to pack it away a month later. But the best wardrobes are built with pieces that work overtime, carrying you from late summer through crisp fall days and into the first signs of spring.
We believe style is about longevity, finding pieces that feel fresh year-round while adapting effortlessly to changing weather. Here are our top picks for a truly versatile wardrobe.
Starting off strong we have a poncho. Now I know you'd probably think of it as a poncho being such a 3 season staple but it absolutely can be! Our top pick is the Herno Poncho due to its versatility and weight. It's perfect for those breezy August nights, layered over cozy knits in October, a chunky sweater in the winter, and ideal with a striped tee in April. Neutral tones like beige or olive keep it timeless and easy to style.
Another seasonal staple is a midi skirt. Two of our favorites include the Pleated Skirt from Plan C and Ulla Johnson Paola Skirt. In summer, pair both with a tank and slides. In fall, add a fitted turtleneck and boots. Come spring, it’s back to a crisp white shirt and loafers. Their movement and drape keep them feminine in any season.
Ulla Johnson Paola Skirt, $390
In every season beside summer you NEED a lightweight sweater to throw on in multiple scenarios. Use the Khaite Brieta Cardigan over a cute cami or t-shirt, and Khaite nera Sweater with jeans and slacks. Layer both over dresses or tuck into skirts.
Khaite Brieta Cardigan, $1,680
A great pair of denim never goes out of season especially the Annina and Caia from Citizens of Humanity. In summer, roll the cuffs and wear sandals. In fall, add ankle boots. In spring, try them with ballet flats and a blazer.
Citizens of Humanity Annina 33” Jean, $258
Citizens of Humanity Caia Straight in Dakota, $238
The last piece you need is an accessory that never feels “too seasonal.” The Khaite Lina Medium Crossbody Bag works with breezy summer dresses, layered fall looks, and polished spring outfits, plus it keeps your hands free for coffee and shopping.
