Transitional Fashion Pieces to Take You from Summer to Fall

You guys know I’m all about stocking my closet with versatile fashion pieces, and one way to do that is buy pieces you can wear throughout the seasons. Unlike a lot of people, I don’t have bins where I put away my winter or summer clothes during the year, because I truly can wear most of it year round! Below are a bunch of tips for what to shop for in order to have pieces you can work with in the different seasons plus some outfit inspo of how I transition some of my favorite summer pieces into fall fashions!

Transitional Style Tips:

Summer pieces in warm colors such as burnt orange or red, tan, goldenrod yellow & nude easily transition into fall
Dresses, especially midi dresses, can easily be transitioned into fall with boots or booties and a sweater or leather or suede jacket
Muted florals & animal prints work well year round!
Gray or medium wash denim can be worn year round, and even white denim now is trendy into winter as long as worn with over the knee or knee high boots
Basic closet staples such as tees, bodysuits, denim, and leggings are always great investments that you can wear throughout the year
Open toe booties or low ankle booties are now on trend for summer and of course are great for fall
Pumps in lighter nude or tan colors but suede work for all seasons
Mules are also a great year round shoe especially in a tan or blush suede but even in leather or animal print
Choose transitional fabrics like silks, cotton, open or light weave sweaters or poly blends and you’ll get year round use out of them
When in doubt, LAYER! Layers are your best friend for making clothes work year round – a simple bodysuit, tank, tee, or blouse, just needs a chunky sweater or denim jacket to make it fall appropriate!
