The Transeasonal Style Guide: What To Wear Now
From lightweight tailoring to polished layers, these are the versatile new-season pieces to introduce now and wear well into fall
The color-pop knit
A color-pop knit is the personality piece every wardrobe needs as we transition into fall. Guaranteed to make an impact yet easy to style, the chicest new knits come in eye-catching paintbox brights that will enliven everyday denim and smarter tailored separates. Studio Nicholson nails the brief with this ‘Callen’ cardigan, which comes in a beautiful sky-blue hue and is inspired by a ’60s style from designer Nick Wakeman’s own collection. Layer it over the shoulders of a trench coat or tie around your waist with slouchy tailoring for the coolest take. Alternatively, if you gravitate towards green, choose between Sanderlak’s punchy lime sweater and Versace’s vibrant red cardigan.

The lightweight jacket
Unpredictable transeasonal weather calls for a jacket that can be thrown on over everything, but your last-minute layer should be just as considered as the rest of your outfit. Toteme’s clean-lined leather jacket comes in a sophisticated dark-chocolate shade and will add instant elegance to everyday looks – balance its slightly oversized shape proportionally with high-rise, wide-leg pants or a sleek column skirt. Other beautiful pieces from our edit that you’ll still adore wearing in five years’ time include Sacai’s boxy cargo style, complete with utilitarian pockets and zips, and Haikure’s ‘Cherry’ jacket in deep indigo denim.

White jeans
We’ve said it before, but for those still in doubt, white denim isn’t just for summer. In fact, it’s proven itself to be a year-round investment and just as reliable as blue-denim washes. From our NET SUSTAIN edit, Citizens of Humanity’s ‘The Palma’ jeans are woven with plenty of stretch and come in a classic straight-leg shape, while The Row’s ‘Eglitta’ pair have a more relaxed fit. Take cues from the street-style set and wear your favorites with a checked shirt and ballet flats or a cashmere knit and heels.

Modern loafers
The perfect flat shoe does exist. Once again topping the wish lists of fashion editors in every major fashion city this season is the loafer. Saint Laurent’s classic logo-embellished penny loafers work beautifully with denim and have a collapsible heel so that you can style them as slippers, too. Elsewhere, Studio Nicholson’s ‘Donovan’ loafers will add polish to every outfit. They’re crafted from smooth black leather with elasticated heels, so you can slip them on and off with ease, and chunky soles perfect for traversing busy city streets. Alternatively, make a statement in Dries Van Noten’s buckled leather pair – the oversized hardware and square toes recall classic vintage styles.

The do-it-all shirt
From diaphanous chiffons to crisp cotton poplins, shirts come in a host of different fabrics and patterns this season. Look to Kallmeyer for timeless styles you’ll wear time and again – the brand’s tonal ‘Dani’ shirt looks just as chic worn loose with jeans as it does tucked into tailoring. The same goes for Toteme’s style, which is patterned with trending checks and has a relaxed, boxy fit. Elsewhere, Polo Ralph Lauren proves you can’t go wrong with stripes. The brand’s cotton-poplin style is patterned with thicker vertical lines in navy, white and bright blue for a touch more oomph. To ensure optimum versatility, put your shirt to work between seasons by layering a turtleneck underneath or a cashmere knit knotted nonchalantly around the shoulders.
