From Sunshine to Sweater Weather: Transitioning Your Style from Summer to Fall

There’s something magical about the shift from summer to fall. The air gets crisp, the leaves start to turn, and your wardrobe is ready for a refresh. But that in-between time when mornings feel like fall and afternoons are still clinging to summer can be tricky to dress for.

Here’s how to make the seasonal switch without overhauling your closet.

Start with layers. Think breezy summer dresses paired with chunky cardigans or denim jackets. Add ankle boots or sneakers and suddenly your go-to sundress feels fall-ready.

Next, play with texture. Lightweight knits, suede accessories, and structured bags instantly elevate any look. You don’t need to dive headfirst into thick sweaters and wool just yet. A ribbed tank under an open button-down is a perfect transitional outfit.

Swap your brights for neutrals and muted tones. Sage green, rust, soft browns, and creamy ivory make summer silhouettes feel more autumnal. It’s all about the color palette.

Finally, don’t forget accessories. A felt hat, layered gold jewelry, or a moody lip color can transform any outfit into a cozy, chic fall vibe.

Transitioning your wardrobe doesn’t mean starting from scratch. It’s about blending your favorite summer pieces with the comfort of fall. Style should evolve with the season, and you’re just getting started.
