While it may not be time to switch out our sandals for boots, pre-fall collections are here to help us transition from summer to fall. The beauty of pre-fall collections is that you can wear it now and well into the beginning of the autumn. And for some, well into the midst of the season. What does pre-fall collections entail? It’s moody florals, jeweled tones, tailored pieces. Items you can wear with a pair of sandals, then throw on a sweater when the weather is crisp.

The easiest way to transition between the seasons, at least for me, is by wearing dresses. This moody floral midi dress is ideal for the seasonal shift. The dark coloring gives it a fall-like touch, while the smocked bodice gives the ease of summer. Another dress that can take you from the sunshine to the foliage is this olive midi dress. What the jewel tone color is to the fall, the linen material is to summer- both are quintessential. This dress is also more tailored and refined, which is another contrast between the seasons.

When styling pants or shorts for the in-between season there are different ways you can approach it. For these mauve chino pants, style it now with a white t-shirt or a nice blouse,. For the fall, wear a sweater or cardigan. While these olive chino shorts will not be worn throughout the entire season, it’s a great transitional item. Just like the pants, style it now with an easy, lightweight top then on nights that are much more crisp, throw on this cable knit sweater.
