There’s no question I love it when the leaves turn brown. I get to wrap my hands tightly around a warm Pumpkin Spice Latte, and I can pull out my corduroy pants from the back of my wardrobe. But admittedly, since it’s still sweltering hot out and I’ve only slipped into a swimsuit a handful of times this summer, I’m not quite emotionally ready to let go of these warm, carefree summer days and evening Aperol spritzes alfresco quite yet. Well, that was until I started scouring Instagram for fall outfits this week and new-season sartorial excitement washed over me like a cool breeze.
If you are just about ready to transition your wardrobe, this one’s for you. I’m sharing seven cool outfits that will ease you into fall—each ensemble ready to help you transition out of any lingering summer longing right into the new season. Keep scrolling for plenty of new-season outfit inspiration and to shop the looks for yourself.
