The ultimate summer-to-fall style guide

Step into fall style with these must-have designs.

The cheeky fashion switch up from late summer to early fall is my absolute favourite on the style calendar. The transition is quick – but also incredibly chic!  Mixed textures, layering and fresh hues abound. And forecasts of chilly in the morning and balmy in the afternoon allow us to show skin in one area code (like a bare leg with ankle socks) while being covered in the other (cool new funnel neck, anyone?) And beyond being one of the delightfully preppiest seasons of the year, we get to re-live the good old days with a cheeky touch of varsity here and there, too. See you in class.

 

There’s nothing more effective (and on point) during shoulder season than a lightweight bomber with a high collar that’s roomy enough for layering. I heart the Oculus by Aritzia in a relaxed Japanese crepe.

It’s not actually fall for me without the perfect pair of loafers. And the ruching detail on these takes me right back to 1988. Sigh. Also available in a rich brown.

 

Available in droolworthy hues like Atlas Olive and Wicker Tan, the Finch trench speaks to our obsession-du-jour with the waist-length version of this classic.

 

Don’t panic, they only look expensive! Hide from your summer fling in the crowd in these.

Board meeting? Fancy lunch? Third year presentation? The Enterprise midi skirt is sweet for every age category and will look killer with a knee-high boot and fine knit turtleneck in just a couple of months.

A slouchy ankle sock with loafers gets an A+ from me.

Suede is having a super strong moment right now, but this tone and silhouette are actually timeless. And who needs a book bag when you have this, lol.

 

Poetry in a scarf. Tie it around your collar or attach it casually to your bag.

 

You will absolutely live in it. The lightweight Bare Cashmere Noteworthy Cardigan is a lightweight wardrobe workhorse.

Such a well-priced basic no matter what the season.

 

I rarely go on camera without a slick of lip-plumping gloss by Buxom in the shade Pink. Instant juicy pucker!

 

A Napolean jacket like this version by Twik injects instant oh-la-la to everything from denim or even sweats. Also available in olive green.

Per the photo above, balloom pants are everywhere rn. I like these lace-hemmed versions with a simple creamy tank or a fine-knit V-neck sweater on cooler days.
