25 Smart Pieces I'd Add to My Wardrobe as We Transition from Summer to Fall
By Natalie Gray Herder,

We're approaching the time of year when the temperature ranges from 60°F to 80°F within a day and choosing the right outfit for the weather feels impossible. You walk out the door in a sweater, only to experience heat exhaustion by 2 p.m. As tricky as it is, I'm using it as an excuse to test out a handful of fall trends early. Items like rugby T-shirts, miniskirts, and Mary Janes create an effortlessly cool transitional look. Or, for a more office-appropriate ensemble, opt for a sleeveless turtleneck sweater with cargo jeans and ballet flats, like the ones I've included below. No matter your personal style, there's something for everyone this season. Keep scrolling to shop the 25 trending items I'd buy to achieve the perfect summer-to- fall transition wardrobe.
Madewell Rugby Polo Tee
Prepare to see rugby shirts everywhere this season.

I've seen versions of these jeans for triple the price.

If you look up transition wardrobe in the dictionary, a picture of this sleeveless tank pops up.

A trending shoe in a trending color coming right up.
