There are still vacation days remaining, as well as a handful of Summer Fridays, but it’s no longer possible to deny that fall is fast approaching. It’s time to start thinking about how to transition your casual warm-weather wardrobe into polished autumnal attire. There’s no better time to add fresh pieces into the mix than during the midseason sales, and shopping for workwear will help keep your summer office outfits fresh and your commute cool and have you prepared for the season ahead.
Going straight from a beach getaway to the office on Monday morning? Consider throwing on a comfortable and lightweight linen suit. You’ll feel like you’re wearing pajamas when it comes to catching an early-morning train or bus, while still looking professional as you step into the office (plus you’ll stay cozy despite the frigid air conditioning). Midi-length dresses and skirts are no-brainers; simply update your repertoire with one that feels seasonally neutral in color and print. Pair them with flat leather sandals now and your favorite knee-high boots later. Sleeveless knits can be worn on their own throughout August and layered over crisp button-downs come September, and if you don’t already own a good pair of trousers, there’s no better time to invest than when they’re 30% off.
Here, shop 15 transitional pieces that will take you through the rest of summer into fall for a fraction of the cost.
