How To: Transition 2 Casual Fresh Fashions From Summer to Fall

The heat of Summer is upon us, and that hasn’t stopped us from dreaming about all the new Fall fashions that are popping up. So instead of just plotting out how we’ll wear them once the leaves start changing, this week, we’re talking about how you can also start wearing them right now. Whether it’s a rich new color that can be accented with light or dark pieces, or a new silhouette that can be worn on its own or with layers, our picks will ensure your casual style feels fresh and always appropriate.
Let us know what you think in the comments below. If you missed our favorite transitional looks for work or after 5 this week, check them out in our Fashion Finds. Whatever the occasion, we’ve got you covered. See you next week.

KEY Transitional Item #1. With sneakers and a tee or layered with a button down and boots, this skirt is THE knit skirt. Some ladies may shy away from a stretch skirt in a contemporary fit that hugs your body. But this skirt is going to change all that. The thick fabric and texture of this James Perse is truly the perfect way to do an easy pull-on skirt. You get all the comfort of a leggings (yes, it’s that comfortable), but with all the flattering fit details of any more structured skirt. It has a wide waistband that isn’t too tight, so it helps smooth out your tummy/waist and doesn’t pinch. This skirt comes in black too, and it’s great, but it’s this pretty grey that is our focus today. It’s just as versatile and has a really luxe feel for such a casual piece. The length will hit anywhere from the knee to mid-calf, depending on your height, and it looks good no matter what, so alterations won’t be necessary. If your size is sold out, Net-a-Porter also carries it – also with free shipping and returns.

Wear Now Coordinating Item. The linen texture of this J.Crew tee plays into all the great texture of the featured skirt in this outfit, with a pop of Summery color that works with the skirt’s neutral heathered grey effortlessly. The shirttail hem can be left untucked or just tucked in a bit in the front for a casual look. The modern fit is loose and easy, which is a nice balance to the skirt. If you want to show off those arms, J.Crew’s classic tank top is just as easily fabulous (especially in the modern red color).

Wear Now Coordinating Item. In the Summer, when your arms are on full display, a statement bracelet is always a fun way to bring a little pop to your outfit. The colors in this cuff will have you reaching for it all the time. The center plate is a beautiful snakeskin and it has fine wrap details, using threads and chains. This bracelet mixes and matches with any bold color, and provides great interest to a neutral outfit. And since this skirt/tee combination has both, it’s the ideal choice to wear with it.

Wear Now & Later Coordinating Item. Breezing around town in the featured skirt of this look, you’ll need a casually cool bag that will keep you hands free. This Monserat De Lucca is just the thing . Its leather is faded to a broken-in look that is casual, yet really well-made looking. It has just the right slouch to drape across your body easily, and the strap is adjustable so it will work on ladies of every height. It is big enough to carry all the necessities. (Click through the ‘shop it’ button to see it on the model, for size reference.) Wear it all weekend, from now through the Fall.

Theory - Thermal Mikaela Long Sleeve Tee
Wear Later Coordinating Item. The featured James Perse skirt in this outfit isn’t just for the warmer months. The substantial weight easily transcends seasons. As Fall hits, this layered looking shirt from Theory is perfect. The grey thermal has a white shirttail hem and cuffs for the cooly, chic layered look without any of the fuss or potential fabric bunching. You can unbutton a couple buttons along the hem for that casual feel. The contemporary fit skims the body and works really well with the fit of the skirt. It comes in black too, which also looks great with the skirt, since it has so many variations of grey in it. This style is going fast, so if your size is sold out, Saks may still have it.

Wear Later Coordinating Item. The tailored feel of the layered shirt and skirt in this outfit takes on a casual feel, with just a hint of edge, when you pair it with these super comfortable boots. The combat styling is rugged, and just the right juxtaposition to the rest of the look. They break in wonderfully and look great with jeans, even leggings, too.

KEY Transitional Item #2. With the return of jeans with flared legs, make sure you get a fresh pair back in to your casual wardrobe to give your skinny jeans a rest. Joe’s Jeans is one of our favorite brands for a fit that works on most ladies – it’s the perfect blend of contemporary design, with a fit that is a bit more relaxed than some other contemporary brands (like Rag & Bone). These bootcut jeans are part of their Flawless collection, which is made of fabrics specifically designed to lift and hide perfections. And they are seriously soft, with a nice stretch and even, dark wash that truly flatters.

Joie - Linara Floral-Print Button-Down Blouse
Wear Now Coordinating Item. The bootcut flare of the featured jeans in this outfit take on an updated, boho feel when paired with Joie’s short sleeved peasant blouse. Joie is always a favorite for its easy, modern fit and amazing styles – especially the tops. The small floral print is so pretty, in shades of blue and orangey-red that keep it from being too girly. This top has lots of little style details to love, like buttons down the front, pleat details at the neckline, and an elasticized hem so you don’t have to worry about tucking or not tucking.

Satya Jewelry - Reversible Constellation Pendant Necklace
Wear Now Coordinating Item. Start a conversation, and play into the boho feel of the peasant blouse and jeans in this outfit with this constellation pendant. Pick your - or your spouse or child’s - astrological sign (we’re showing Scorpio). It has a delicate chain, to balance the substantial pendant, so it will stand out and nestle perfectly into the neckline of the top.

Wear Now Coordinating Item. Finish the summery look with a fabulous cork wedge in a soft, neutral brown. The platform and wedge give you lots of comfort, and a chance to really show off the bootcut of the featured jeans in this look. Let the jeans just skim the ground (and any local tailor can shorten them if needed – just tell him/her to keep the “original hem”).

Wear Later Coordinating Item. As the weather cools off, change out the floral blouse in this look for Wilt’s long-sleeved tee. The slub jersey and relaxed fit have made this brand one of our new favorites. It’s longer in the back, so you can leave it untucked. With the bootcut jeans featured in this outfit, we like it best partially tucked in the front for just the right balance.

Wear Later Coordinating Item. You can also add a great cardigan to wear over the Wilt tee with the bootcut jeans in this look. Nic+Zoe is known for their interesting color combinations and this sweater seems like it was just made for this outfit. The modern fit, in XS-XL and Petites, has 2 buttons that can be worn open or closed over the Wilt tee. The blue opal multi color combination is simply ideal with the dark wash of the jeans and slub navy tee.

Wear Later Coordinating Item. The saddle oiled suede (called Chipmunk through the ‘shop it’ button) of these wedge booties give you all the comfort and wearable height that look great with the jeans in this outfit. They have that pre broken-in look, so you’ll look casually chic right off the bat. And if you got the jeans tailored to go with wedge sandals, the length will work with these boots, too. The color is so perfectly neutral – you’ll love them all Winter long.
