Before you head shopping, make sure you set a budget to keep yourself on track, that way you’re not buying clothes that you really don’t need.
These key pieces can be versatile enough that they can be worn throughout autumn and winter, meaning you don’t have to spend more money as the weather turns colder. Take a look at some of the top transitional wardrobe pieces that will ensure your collection is both stylish and will keep you cosy and warm right through till spring!
A chunky knit scarf
Scarves are great all year round. A chunky knit scarf can see you through those chilly autumnal nights and trips out for coffee in winter. If you’re not a knit kind of person, softer fabric scarves are great for layering in the cooler months, but can also be used as shawls and throws in spring and summer if the evenings drop in temperature!
They’re also perfect for adding a splash of colour to a relatively dark winter outfit, so make sure you invest in some in your favourite shades.
Transitional colourways/patterns
There’s honestly no need to buy a completely new wardrobe as we change seasons. Keeping the planet in mind, it’s a good idea to give your old outfits a new lease of life by adding a few carefully selected accessories in a cute pattern or seasonal colour.
For 2020-2021, think animal print ankle boots to pair with a plain black outfit or even a leopard print shopping bag for your days out around town. If you buy them in the right colours, they’re easy to match with almost any outfit!
Dresses for all occasions
You can’t not love a good dress, and adding the right one to your collection can easily see you all the way from autumn to spring! Long-sleeved midi dresses are the perfect length for the cooler months, and can be styled in every way. Whether you pair them with a chunky pair of biker boots and an edgy jacket for a day-to-day style, or dress them up with some heels and a clutch for a dinner date night, they are one of the most versatile pieces you can own!
Layering is the key to success
Getting wrapped up in a few cosy layers is a tried and tested way to keep out the cold! It’s the perfect solution to not being too hot or too cold as you can add or remove clothing. It has to be one of the best pieces of fashion advice for successful transitional dressing.
Pair your favourite cable knit jumper with an on-trend oversized coat and steal the show as you walk down your local high street. You could even pair a pretty blouse with your favourite oversized jumper for a look straight out of Vogue!
