We’ve reached that point in the year where summer is ending but fall temperatures are still a few weeks away. It’s hard to know what to wear during this in-between time so here are a suggestions of 12 fall transition pieces to invest in.

12 Fall Transition Pieces

Madewell The Devon Pant

Casual pull-on pants are everywhere right now so it’s a great style to wear from summer into fall. This pair is incredibly lightweight but the chocolate brown shade is perfect to wear with all your fall neutrals.

J.Crew Berkeley Small Shoulder Bag

This is a top selling handbag for J.Crew so they come out with new colors/textures each season. I LOVE this dark emerald green to add just a small pop of color to your fall wardrobe.

J.Crew Arden Shirt-Dress

Shirt dresses are always a classic wardrobe staple because they can easily be styled up or down depending on where you are going. This would look great with a patterned pair of flats for a comfy weekend lunch look or wear some slingbacks and a statement bag to create a work appropriate outfit.

Roxanne Assoulin Mini Studded Heart Necklace

While it’s still warm enough to wear v-neck collars and crewneck styles, invest in a fun statement necklace for fall.

Boden Loena Blouse

This is the quintessential summer to fall transition top. The open knit detail makes it breathable for the warm afternoons but the longer sleeves add additional coverage for the cooler nights.

J.Crew Robin Wide Slingback Heels

All my workwear ladies who need fall shoes for the office – this is a gorgeous style. Minimal but still super chic.

Madewell Mylie Ballet Flat

Animal print seems to go in and out of favor for the fashion world, but in my regular ol’ life I will always love it. It’s tricky to find the right print because many can look tacky but this pair is perfect to wear with all your neutral fall outfits.

Zara Open Front Knit Jacket

Fall is the best time to play around with unique jacket styles because you don’t have to worry about warmth just yet. LOL This knit jacket is perfectly oversized with a gorgeous drape waterfall collar.

Ann Taylor Crew Neck Jacket in Tweed

I can’t resist a tweed jacket especially in the fall. It looks so chic and polished with anything you wear it with. Opt for some jeans to keep things modern and cool, style with trousers for the office or layer over a summer tank dress to extend the wear of your warm weather pieces.

Rothy’s Ivy Sneakers

I call these lifestyle sneakers because it’s not something you would work out in but rather something to wear instead of flats. Especially if you are someone who is very active so ballet flats are a tad too dressy for your lifestyle, a chic sneaker like this is easy to wear with everything from athleisure looks to more professional wide leg trousers.

Guest in Residence The Wild Rag

Large bandana print scarves are still trending for fall so this is a great one to invest in. I love the oversized larger size so you can wear it around the neck as a traditional scarf or drape it over your shoulders as a decorative shawl.

Banana Republic Large Leather East-West Bag

This is a STUNNER of a fall bag. Fall is the time when I want to carry the largest statement bags and this is exactly what I’m talking about. The color is perfection, suede is the best texture for fall and the added details on the strap make this so much more chic than a regular ol’ tote bag.

Getting dressed each day is one of my favorite things and I’ve always loved putting together outfits. But I would be lying if I said that getting dressed during the warmer months is not a struggle. I am not as motivated to experiment with different looks and just want to wear anything that won’t make me overheat. However, once the weather cools down and fall is on the horizon, my motivation picks back up and I get excited to get dressed again! Dressing for fall is the best and allows me to play around with different looks and styles without overheating or needing to be bundled up. I’ve already started going through my closet to pull out my fall favorites. There are a few stand out pieces that I am most excited to rewear again this year. Here are those top picks!

The Fall Pieces I Plan on Rewearing This Year

Tweed Blazer

Boucle/tweed jackets are timeless and are a great closet staple to have. They can be easily dressed up for a work environment but also work casually with jeans for the weekend. Right now boucle jackets are so popular right now and there are a ton at various price points. This style jacket has a very Chanel-esque vibe and styling it with faux leather trousers gives a fresh modern take.

Striped Crewneck Sweater

A striped sweater is a timeless piece. Something you will wear year after year so I knew this would be a great addition to my fall closet.

Plaid Blazer

I bought this blazer a few years ago and still wear it every fall and into winter. It’s a simple shape and semi-structured fit that looks great with jeans or trousers. The colors in the blazer are all neutral so it’s easy to style with so many different pieces in my closet.

Quilted Jacket

I’m sure you are sensing a theme in all the pieces I am excited to rewear this year – they are almost all outerwear! LOL Fall is my favorite time of year because I don’t have to bundle up yet and can wear all my coats, blazers and jackets without having to layer too much underneath. This quilted jacket became one of my most worn casual jackets because it has a gorgeous classic fit and looks great with jeans or even dressed up a bit with trousers. The stand up collar is my favorite detail and the length is exactly what I prefer my jackets to be. Not too long and not too short – a perfect length for petite OR tall ladies.

Chunky Gray Sweater

I LOVE the simplicity of this sweater along with this exact shade of gray! It’s very oversized so definitely size down in this style. I have so many silver accessory pieces in my closet so I love pulling them out to style with this sweater.

Scarf Coat

This scarf coat was one of the top selling items that I shared last year. Many of you purchased it as a classic coat to wear throughout the entire fall/winter so I am thrilled to see it back in stock again. The scarf is attached which is what makes me love it even more. The material is thick but not suitable for below freezing temps so it’s best as a early fall into winter outerwear piece. The style of the coat is easy to dress up or down which is why I think it’s become so popular.

Oversized Black Blazer

The perfect black blazer is hard to find but this may be it for me. It’s effortlessly oversized without being too much. A great piece to wear to work but I also love how easily it can be styled with more casual looks. Definitely a splurge but it’s a piece that you will own for years and it will always look modern.

Bomber Jacket

This jacket sold out almost immediately as soon as fall arrived so I would order it now because it will sell out again. The price point is just under $100 but feels so much more expensive than that. The details on this one are what made me fall in love with it. The faux fur trim, the buckle straps on the neck, the black piping against the dark brown faux leather – it’s all 10/10!

Jacket Cardigan

This may be a jacket/cardigan hybrid but many brands are now calling them jardigans. I honestly don’t care what they are called but love that they now exist! Ha! A blazer mixed with a cardigan – yes, please. This one is from M.M. LaFleur which is a workwear brand that makes some of the more gorgeous professional pieces for the workplace. Even though I don’t work in an office, I still found myself reaching for this jardigan over and over because of how comfortable it was and immediately made any outfit look more polished. It comes in a few different colors and also has a belt which offers more styling options.

Barn Jacket

If there is one jacket to buy this fall season, it is definitely a barn jacket. They are EVERYWHERE and there are so many different price points, colorways and styles to choose from. Barn jackets are a style that have been around for yearssss and go by various names such as chore jacket, utility jacket, etc. I wore this non-stop last year with casual outfits because it is the perfect throw-on-and-go jacket. This particular one has a toggle at the waist so you can cinch it to give the jacket more shape which I prefer.
