What to Wear Now: Summer-to-Fall Outfit Ideas You’ll Love

This time of year is my favorite when it comes to getting dressed for the last stretch of summer. The pieces just feel right — a little more polished — and they help us feel excited for the new season ahead. Right now, we’re seeing all shades of blue, soft greens and touches of burgundy, which is a nice change. And, the best part is you can wear them now on warmer days, then layer up once the weather cools down. Whether you’re squeezing in one last sunny getaway, hosting at home, or planning for cooler days ahead, these outfits have you covered!

Today’s post is all about summer-to-fall outfit ideas you’ll wear on repeat. You’ll find style board inspiration, versatile outfit combinations to get you started, and some of my favorite pieces that transition perfectly between seasons, from lightweight layers to elevated basics. Remember, adding a trend piece or two can work a little magic on your wardrobe. Cheers!

What’s New for Late Summer

Top row clothes: Jeans | Blue top | Rails brown top | Stripe button up | White tee & faded blue carpenter pant

Bottom row clothes: Light blue cardigan & short | Bookie Twist jeans – petites here | Stripe dress | Blue top | Tan jacket

Shoes/Accessories: Blue print scarf | Tan sandal | Baseball hat | Gola sneakers | Bandana bag

Pre-fall checklist: Here’s the top 5:

#1 Start with denim

Crop trench jacket with hood | Paige jeans | Tote | Sandals

This season, look for slightly darker washes and washed blacks — all ideal for now and later. I’m also noticing twist-seam jeans everywhere, and they’re so flattering. Look at this favorite Mother Bookie which is also available in petite sizes. Also spotted this new Pistola one that’s a good one to try too. See below for more favorites, and if you’re 5’4″ and under, be sure to check out the petite denim selection here. Talk about a total game changer!
