Transitioning from Summer to Fall: Your Ultimate Sweater Guide

Introduction: Embrace the Seasonal Shift

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisper, it’s time to bid farewell to summer and welcome the cozy embrace of fall. For all you fashion-forward ladies out there, this transition is an opportunity to revamp your wardrobe and make a stylish statement. And what better way to do that than with the perfect sweaters? Whether you’re sipping pumpkin spice lattes or crunching through fallen leaves, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into the ultimate guide on what to wear as summer exits stage left and fall takes center stage.

1. Pastels vs. Wild Prints

Put Away: Those dreamy pastel hues that adorned your summer wardrobe. As much as we love them, it’s time to give them a vacation.

What to Wear Instead: Embrace the wild side! Zebra, snake, and other animal prints are all the rage this fall. Think bold patterns that make a statement. Pair a zebra-print sweater with your favorite jeans or a snake-print skirt for an edgy twist. Our A.L.C. Lola Sweater¹ is a must-have for nailing this trend.

2. Flat Slides vs. Heeled Mules

Put Away: Those comfy flat slides that carried you through summer strolls. They’ve had their moment in the sun.

What to Wear Instead: Step up your shoe game with heeled mules. Whether open-toe or closed, a slight heel adds sophistication and fall flair. 

3. Denim Shorts vs. Long Jeans

Put Away: Bid adieu to your beloved denim shorts (jorts, we’re looking at you). They’ll be back next summer!

What to Wear Instead: Say hello to long-ish jeans. These denim darlings are the new cool. High-rise straight-leg jeans are your go-to for fall denim vibes.

4. Straw Totes vs. Top-Handle Bags

Put Away: Pack away those beachy straw totes. They’ve soaked up enough sun.

What to Wear Instead: Opt for chic top-handle bags. They’re practical, stylish, and perfect for the season. Whether structured or slouchy, these bags elevate any outfit. Imagine our KEY WEST CREW COTTON² paired with a sleek top-handle bag—effortless elegance!

5. Lightweight Fabrics vs. Cozy Knits

Put Away: Thin, breezy fabrics that kept you cool all summer. They’ve done their duty.

What to Wear Instead: Wrap yourself in cozy knits. Think mock necks, turtlenecks, and chunky sweaters. Our SUNRISE CREW COTTON² is a fall essential. Layer it over dresses, skirts, or jeans—it’s the epitome of fall comfort.
