1. Knit Tanks

3. Long-Sleeve Dresses

Not quite ready to part ways with your short hemlines? Then don't. Instead, opt for a long-sleeve mini that can be layered underneath a blazer or jacket once the temperatures start to drop.

5. Midi Skirts

Midi skirts are another no-brainer when it comes to transitional dressing. This one from Who What Wear Collection looks particularly expensive thanks to the plissé fabric and comes in the prettiest icy-blue hue. Wear yours with a tank top through the rest of summer and a chunky knit come fall.

6. Versatile White Tops

Versatile white tops are another basic that have an eternal shelf life, and the below two styles are ones we are highly recommending investing in. From the scooped-out necklines to the button details, these tops will be your new go-tos no matter the season.

7. T-Shirts

T-shirts are the basics to end all basics. While we love a traditional tee, Who What Wear Collection recently launched these crew-neck bodysuits, and they are somehow even better than a regular T-shirt. Pair these with everything from jeans to skirts, and watch them quickly become the canvas for all of your summer-to-fall transitional looks.
