This might be controversial, but Iâm rather looking forward to the weather cooling down (and yes, Iâll be eating my words when Iâm freezing on my way to work). But whether youâre still loving the heatwave or not, inevitably the long, warm nights are going to come to an end very soon, so it will be time to swap the linen sets and sandals for layers and something a little more weather-appropriate.
The transitional season from summer to autumn is personally my favourite time to dress. It allows us to be more experimental with layers â from playing with different textures to adding pieces to a mini dress to make it feel a little more autumn-ready, without going full knitwear just yet.
Looking ahead to the new season, plenty of It-girls from across the globe are inspiring us as we speak, cleverly using wardrobe staples, layering summer favourites in unexpected ways and proving that you donât need to overhaul your entire wardrobe just because the temperatures start to drop. From long-sleeved co-rds to trench coats paired with bare legs, thereâs plenty of inspiration to take note of now â and, thankfully, you can start recreating these looks before autumn has officially arrived.

Capri pants are a major trend this summer, but to give it a transitional season twist, Nina Sandbech layered her black pair with a tiger-print blazer. I love this Rejina Pyo piece to get the look.

White trousers are the ultimate summer-to-autumn staple. Simply swap out your spaghetti strap tops for a darker-hued thicker layer and youâre on to a winner. I love this cape which adds a little more interest than a classic jumper. Annaâs exact cape is from Arakii, but this Mango option is only ÂŁ25.99.

We all know by now that brown is the new black, and this look is incredibly polished. To add some more interest, opt for fun-shaped trousers like these barrel-leg ones from M&S.

I love high-low dressing, and thankfully for us, comfy sportswear is right on-trend. Julia always nails making clashing colours look cool. This exact jacket is available on ASOS, and her yellow suede shoulder bag is only ÂŁ27.99.

Red has been a fashion-girly favourite for the last few seasons, and the street style set has made it clear that itâs not going anywhere for the foreseeable. Not only do we need a red shirt like Laura, but a clear umbrella may come in handy tooâŠÂ

Iâm a huge fan of a maxi trench. Not only because it will keep you dry from (almost) head to (almost) toe in the rain, but also because you can throw on quite literally anything underneath, and nobody will know. This one from The Frankie Shop is *chefâs kiss*

This look is the definition of âcool-girlâ. The beige trench with a funnel neck gives the classic jacket a contemporary feel. And paired with dark shorts and flip-flop heels is so chic. The high street is loving this silhouette right now, so there are plenty of options, like this ÂŁ44.99 Bershka one.

If you havenât seem bermuda shorts on your social media feed, then youâre not following the right people. I love this co-ord with the red underneath, and matching flats to really emphasise the pop of colour. This jacket and shorts set, believe it or not, is a good old Zara number.
