4 Transitional Fall Trends We’re Already Shopping For

"Now & Later" has a whole new meaning with these summer pieces you can rock into fall.
4 Transitional Fall Trends We’re Already Shopping For

By Dominique Hobdy · Updated October 23, 2020

Perhaps one of the trickiest times of the year is figuring out how to transition from one season to the next.

Will this jacket make me break out in a sweat on the way home? Will I be freezing in this dress after bar hopping? When the heck am I supposed to wear these peep-toe, suede lace up sandal-like boots?

It’s a struggle.

Luckily, we found pieces that won’t stress you out and will you keep you on-trend from the dog-days of summer to that first blast of cold air and beyond.

Shop below for the fall trends we’re checking for now!

01
GOOD UTILITY
Utility and military inspired wear is a staple that fashion mavens can’t get enough of. Incorporate this look in your wardrobe with fire jumpsuits, jackets and pants.

GOOD UTILITY
Transition strategy: Rock your jumpsuits as is during the summer months and and throw on a turtleneck and leather jacket when the weather cools. Go for a chic contrast by pairing utility jackets with flowing, floral dresses.

SUITED UP
A good suit is another wardrobe staple and this season there are no signs of that changing. Classic prints like plaid and pinstripe are mainstays and more stand-out prints like Zebra print as major players as well.
