Back to school has come and gone, we’re surrounded by pumpkin spice, and stores are bursting with cable-knit wool sweaters. Yet it’s still (arguably) beach weather for many of us. It’s hard to resist the urge to pick up shiny new items for that fresh, updated feeling; even harder to wait a month (or two) until it’s actually cold enough to wear them. So I’ve picked my favorite versatile items for fall that you can wear now and later in the season:
I’m still floored that this skirt is made of french terry, not denim, which makes it easy and breathable for now, but cozy like sweatpants in later months. And just like real denim, it can be dressed up or down for any occasion.
Quince’s versatile bra-friendly slip dress comes in 11 color ways- this floral version makes it perfect for now, and the moody black+gold combo is a winner for coordinating with the rich neutrals of fall.
This lightweight Rails blouse is made from a silky tencel-blend perfect for the still warm days of early autumn. The perfect balance of bright and moody shades in the print make it a year-round staple to wear with anything.
So this pant isn’t exactly a new item- Everlane has offered this pant year-round for a while now. Its cotton/modal blend won’t suffocate you in warmer temperatures, and the hefty double-knit fabric feels substantial enough for cooler breezes to come.
I’m a huge fan of rag & bone’s Slade blazer, one of their best-selling items for years. This version is crafted from stretchy-yet-structured ponte knit and cut in a cropped shape, ideal for layering over higher-waisted silhouettes.
