There was a time when all I could do was daydream about summer. Quite a few heat waves later, I'm starting to think about how nice the cooler weather in fall will be. My amazing collection of outerwear hasn't left my closet since May, and I'm dying to let those oversize leather jackets out of their cage. The part of dressing for fall that I'm most excited about is the layering. Slowly piling on additional levels of clothing is downright entertaining.
One of my favorite things to do when I get ready for a new season is to compile a list of the outfits that I'm most excited to wear. So below, you'll find my guide to transitioning to fall. These seven outfits are guaranteed to get you excited, so enjoy.
A cream suit just might be the perfect outfit to wear when you're getting ready for fall. While a tailored blazer and pants are the ultimate autumn apparel, cream is a staple in summer. Combining the two is genius.
Shop the look:
Shield sunglasses are simply so fun.
If it's too hot where you are to sport a full suit, try this one that comes with matching shorts.
This is always the time of year that I refresh my sneaker collection.
If you're ready to wear long sleeves but the temperatures are making that difficult, try a sheer top. If you saw just one runway show last season, you already know that every designer is in support of a sheer moment.
Shop the look:
This is my ideal date-night look.
My favorite bralette of all time.
Another wardrobe staple that I'm always piling up on when fall is on its way.
I predict that the knee-length skirt is going to continue to have its moment for many more months to come. This is such an easy and chic look to copy.
Shop the look:
You don't know comfort until you've tried this top that's one of my personal favorites.
It's giving back-to-school vibes.
You really can't go wrong when putting a chain belt on top of any look.
This is the look that I'm most excited to copy. We all have a funky sweater, button-down shirt, and trench coat, so get creative with what you have at home or add some new staples to your collection.
Shop the look:
If you don't have a good trench coat, you won't regret this purchase.
How fun is this sweater?
I'm all about a stiff button-down shirt.
Straight-leg jeans paired with a blazer have never failed me. When I have friends who don't know what to wear in the fall, I plan on pointing them in this direction.
Shop the look:
This set has officially won me over.
I'll take as many ribbed tanks as I can get.
So many people have raved to me about these jeans.
You won't meet a fashion editor who isn't behind the distressed-leather trend. Prepare to see this look fully take over come fall.
Shop the look:
I just got this jacket for fall, and it was love at first sight.
I heavily suggest a maxi skirt.
Something else I need to invest in for fall.
I love to slowly transition my favorite minidresses into fall. All you need are the right accessories and a good blazer to top it off.
Shop the look:
Now that's a good blazer.
She's perfection.
You can't go wrong with a circular sunglasses silhouette.
Absolute perfection.
