I scoured Pinterest for hours looking at transitional outfits so that you don’t have to. This is what makes up the anatomy of the perfect transitional outfit.
1. Layers, Layers, Layers
This is the golden role of a transitional outfit. Why? Practicality! This time of year it is so chilly in the morning but boiling hot in the afternoon! My favorite way to combat the volatile temperatures is tying a sweater around my neck. I also think this easy trick can elevate any look.

2. Neutrals are Necessity
Time to put away those punchy prints that scream summertime and pull out all your creams, camels, greys, and blacks. Pulling neutral roots into your outfits will automatically make them look less summery.

3. Lower that Hemline
This is another easy trick to make your transitional outfit not feel so summery. Make that mini and midi or a maxi and pair it with a fall pair of boots, sneakers, or flats and call it a day.

4. Elevated Basics
I have been seeing silk slip dresses and midi skirts everywhere recently. This is a perfect example of an elevated basic that works so well with layering for a transitional outfit!!

5. Mixing Textures
Lastly, playing with unexpected textures makes for a much more exciting look! Mixing laces, chunky knits, corduroys, sherpa, leather, and denim can be so fun for this time of year.
