Finding the right balance between late summer and early fall fashion can be tricky. I still need to dress practically for the current season (because hello, 80-to-90-degree days), but mentally, I'm ready for layers, fall trends, and fresh color palettes. My solution? Transitional staples I can wear now and later—and Net-a-Porter's latest edit is my saving grace.
There are more chic transitional finds than I can count. A ribbed maxi dress I can style with both sandals and boots? Yes, please. Suede burgundy sneakers that would look just as cool with denim shorts as they would with trousers and a bomber jacket? Absolutely. Here are the 17 picks inspiring my summer-to-fall transitional wardrobe.
