Transitioning Summer Style Into Fall

Go For Layers

Fall’s most timeless looks generally include super soft flannels—and they happen to make the perfect layering material, as well. Pair an open flannel shirt with your coolest tank top for an extra layer of weather-appropriate warmth that won’t get too hot on those sunny early fall days.

Mix Short + Long

Fall days can start out as warm as summer and quickly dip to chillier weather as the sun goes down. Our pro tip for faring comfortably in changing temps?  Mix short and long items to keep comfortable. Pair your favorite summer shorts with a long-sleeved hoodie, or rock your most comfy jeans with a summer tank or tee.

Summer Dress + Leggings

Summer dresses are so simple and effortlessy chic, we wish we could wear them all year long. The good news: You can wear them well into fall by adding a pair of super soft and comfortable leggings underneath. As temperatures continue to drop, change out your sandals for easy slip-on sneakers.

Think High and Low

As it gets cooler, there’s an easy way to stay warm without going into full fall mode: Look up high and down low. Swap out your flip flops and sandals for casual sneakers or booties, and try a cute (and on trend) knit cap for warmth.

Trust An Icon: The Denim Jacket

If there’s one item that’s essential for fall, it’s a denim jacket. It adds instant polish to even the most casual looks. And, it is versatile enough to go with anything: Put it over a sundress or summer onesie, wear it with a t-shirt and shorts, or use it to add a chic finish to casual shorts and an easy tank top.
