Don’t get us wrong, we’re enjoying summer as much as everyone else, but we’re also already looking ahead to cooler temperatures, particularly all the chic and cozy fall outfits we’ll be wearing come autumn But what about that (somewhat dreaded) in-between phase? When the hottest days are behind us but it’s not quite sweater weather yet? Ahead of that late August-through-early October phase, it’s time to refresh your closet with essentials for easy-to-throw-together transitional weather outfits. 

On cooler summer days, you will need light knits that can be worn on their own or layered over camis; on warmer fall days, you may want a pair of tights to wear underneath a mini skirt or, perhaps, trendy open-toe clogs in place of sandals. From versatile T-shirts and denim jackets to midi skirts and ballet flats, we’ve compiled a mix of foolproof summer-to-fall tops, bottoms, dresses, outerwear, shoes, and accessories that will take you day to night. Scroll on to see these and other clothing items and accessories you can add to your closet right now and wear into fall.
