How to Transition Your Wardrobe from Summer to Fall

Fall is hands down my favorite season to dress for. The colors, the coziness, the not-too-hot, not-too-cold weather, it’s the sweet spot for layering and leaning into rich textures and tones. There's just something about pulling out a chunky cardigan that feels so right this time of year.

Our Fall Women’s Clothing collection is filled with the kind of pieces that make dressing for the season effortless and fun. Think lightweight long sleeves, cozy knits, versatile jackets, and all those warm, muted colors that make autumn style so special. Here’s our go-to guide for making that summer-to-fall transition feel seamless!

Step 1: Start with the Perfect Lightweight Base

I always kick things off with pieces that bridge the gap between summer and fall. Enter long-sleeve tees, neutral tanks, and thermal tops. They’re like your favorite summer tee, just with a cozy overhaul.

We’re loving:

• Light long-sleeve basics, ones that layer like a dream
• Soft thermal tops for cool mornings that solo perfectly under cardigans
• Easy pullover-style tees that are comfy but still pulled-together

They’re basic, but they’ll hold it down when you're stepping into sweater weather without diving headfirst into full layers.

Step 2: Bring in the Cardigans (Your New Best Friend)

Cardigans are one of the easiest and most versatile layers to add to your fall wardrobe. They're easy to throw on, just as easy to take off, and an effortless way to elevate any outfit as the weather starts to shift.

Our favorites:

• Chunky knits for sweater-weather drama
• Breezy, lightweight cardigans that still show off your summer silks underneath
• Striped, patterned, or textured styles that give your outfit a little something extra

They're the ultimate “throw-it-on-and-go” piece. Pair one with jeans or skirts, and suddenly your basic tee feels full-on fall-approved.

Step 3: Layer Up 

As temps start to dip, layering becomes essential, and that’s where a good outer layer comes in. Whether you're heading out early in the morning or staying cozy on a crisp evening, having a few go-to pieces makes all the difference.

Here’s what we’re reaching for:

• Lightweight jackets that add just enough warmth without feeling bulky
• Leather jackets for an effortlessly cool, polished edge
• Flannels that double as both a top and a light layer
• Shackets (shirt-jacket hybrids) for that laid-back, in-between-season feel

These are the throw-on-and-go pieces you’ll wear on repeat. They're perfect over a tee, layered with a sweater, or tied around your waist when the sun comes out.

Step 4: Lean into the Fall Colors

I’m all about fall colors! The cozy, warm tones just feel so right this time of year. Rich browns, soft neutrals, and earthy hues are not only beautiful, but they’re also easy to mix and match, making outfit planning a whole lot simpler.

A few of our favorite shades this season:

• Cinnamon
• Forest green
• Tans & neutrals
• Chocolate brown  

These tones instantly give your wardrobe that fall feeling!

Step 5: Mix & Match Summer and Fall Favorites

Just because summer’s winding down doesn’t mean you have to pack everything away. One of the best parts about early fall is finding creative ways to blend warm-weather staples with cozy fall layers.

Here’s how we’re styling the mix:

• Dresses with cardigans: lightweight and breezy with just the right touch of warmth
• Shorts paired with sweaters and boots (my favorite combo for sunny fall days)
• Skirts with chunky knits; equal parts cozy and feminine
• Layering tees under tanks or strappy dresses! Great for extending those summer pieces into cooler temps

It’s all about balance! Pairing soft knits with lighter pieces to keep things feeling seasonal and comfortable.
