The week following Labor Day we start to get antsy. We know it’s not officially fall yet, but we can’t help but get excited at the prospect of debuting the recent additions to our cool weather wardrobes. With temperatures still rising into the 80’s late into September, therein lies the yearly dilemma—how do we dress for fall when it still feels like summer?
Save for ultra warm pieces like shearling jackets or wool coats, lots of cooler weather styles can still be worn on warm days. Find out how with our style tips below and shop the post to add a piece or two to your own autumn line up.
Go Short
Leather shorts are a chic transitional option for warmer fall temperatures, and we’re specially fans of the long-hemmed Bermuda styles that have been trending for a couple of seasons now—thanks Bottega!

Do It With Color
Just because the weather isn’t cooperating doesn’t mean you can’t still channel fall. Introduce autumnal colors into your early fall wardrobe with light weight pieces or accessories—think a cotton dress in brown or terracota, and airy trench in deep green, or a rich burgundy leather handbag.

Add A Third Piece
Yes the days are still warm, but the evenings are cool, and introducing a third piece is the perfect way to make your outfit feel more fall, less summer. The trick is to wear it without really wearing it—think a denim jacket draped over the shoulders or a cashmere sweater tied across the chest.
