Now & Later Looks: 3 Essentials for Transitional Dressing

1. Embrace a Richer Color Palette: Just as the leaves change in autumn, the hues in our wardrobe shift from season to season. This time of year, bright summer shades begin sharing the spotlight with richer neutrals. Iced Latte is an easy, inviting hue that pairs effortlessly with denim and the vibrant summer prints already in your rotation. We also love Coco Beach, a deeper brown that feels sophisticated but still wearable in warm weather. Both Coco Beach and Iced Latte coordinate beautifully with summer whites; try pairing the Rikki Top and the Harleen High Rise Crop Jean for an effortlessly chic ensemble.

2. Look for Lightweight Sleeves: Swap out high summer’s strappy styles for looks in breathable fabrics that offer a little more sleeve coverage. For social occasions, try the long sleeve Irella Caftan Dress, made from lightweight crepe satin to maintain a breezy feel. For daytime dressing, short sleeve styles like the linen Mialeigh Dress and easy knit Delsie Dress offer the perfect balance of sleeve coverage and airy fabrics. As we head further into fall, just add a denim jacket to wear these casual looks on cooler days.

3. Make the Most of Matching Sets: Matching sets are great for transitional dressing because they offer both versatility and effortlessly polished outfitting. Choose sets featuring lighter fabrics and neutral shades that work in both summer and fall, like the Demia Top and Pant in Chillylilly® or the crisp poplin Rikki Top and Kilah Short. Alternately, look for printed pieces to pair with summer whites now and darker solids later, like the silk Jesslyn Top and Vianna Palazzo. Worn together, matching sets take the guesswork out of getting dressed during this busy time of year; as separates, they offer endless outfit options.

Here’s to great style, season after season! xx, Lilly
