There’s no question I love it when the leaves turn brown, I get to wrap my hands tightly around a warm pumpkin-spice latte, and I can pull out my corduroy pants from the back of my wardrobe. But I will admit since it’s still sweltering hot out (and I’ve only slipped into a swimsuit a handful of times this summer), I’m not quite emotionally ready to let go of these warm, carefree summer days and evening Aperol spritzes alfresco quite yet. Well, that was until I started scouring Instagram for fall outfits this week and new-season sartorial excitement washed over me like a cool breeze.
For those in the same boat—just about ready to transition your wardrobe—this one’s for you. I’m sharing nine cool outfits that will ease you into autumn—each ensemble ready to help you transition out of any lingering summer longing right into fall. Keep scrolling for plenty of new-season outfit inspiration, and shop the looks for yourself.
Nothing says fall quite like a crisp white button-down, a quilted vest, and tailored trousers in autumnal hues. Finish with a touch of leopard print.
Streamlined maxi hemlines are trending this fall, and they’re the perfect choice to ease into autumn. Opt for a knit dress or skirt and sweater with minimalist accessories to complete the look.
Transition your summer floral dresses into fall by pairing them with chunky boots and a waistcoat—easy and effortless.
Lean into this season’s minimalist ’90s vibes, and style relaxed jeans with a sleek black knit and simple strappy sandals. So chic.
It’s all about delicate and alluring sheer skirts, dresses, and tops this fall, as spotted all over the F/W 22 runways. Give a feminine see-through dress some edge by pairing it with an of-the-moment leather biker jacket and knee-high boots.
Cargo pants are back and more popular than ever this fall. Add a sleek touch to the look, and pair it with an asymmetric knit top and a colorful sweater in this season’s trending pink hue.
Long silky slip dresses are a big trend this upcoming season and can be layered easily with an oversize blazer, bomber jacket, cardigan, or leather jacket once the temps start to cool. Wear with sandals while it’s still warm and boots when you feel the big chill.
This is such a simple outfit to emulate—and perfect to transition into fall. If you’ve been wearing your white jeans this summer, then take them into fall with the simple addition of a cozy, relaxed sweater in charcoal gray. Soft suede flat clogs add a cool touch the look.
Casual yet polished—relaxed tailored trousers are ideal for fall. Give them a cool spin and wear with a white tee, shearling bomber jacket, belt, and sneakers.
