10 Top Transitional Outfits and How to Style Them

Transition your wardrobe for the new season so you'll have stylish outfits whatever the weather. If you're cosying up your look for autumn, dressing for winter warmth, sprucing up your aesthetic for spring or trying to perfect summer style, we have a range of remarkably versatile capsule wardrobe must-haves that leave you looking fabulous all year round. 

For those new to the wonders of a capsule wardrobe, quickly put-together transitional fashion can be hit-and-miss. However, with a few tricks up your sleeve, you can curate an array of outfits that fit fashionably with the changing seasons.

 Whether it's our funky accessories for styling summer clothes beyond the longer days or cosy knitwear for a casual winter outfit, you'll certainly attract admiration for your seasonal style.

Skirts are a fabulous capsule wardrobe staple, and transitioning them for every season is as easy as can be! Catch a tan by leaving your legs bare in summer and show off your summer pedicure polish with some funky sandals. Then, as the leaves turn brown, add some statement tights and adorable ankle boots for a chic autumn look. 

Chunky knee-high boots can make your skirt outfit even cosier for winter, whilst cute pumps or trainers can transition your skirt elegantly into spring.

Yellows, such as mustard and saffron, are amazing evergreen (or everyellow?) colours that work all year round, so keeping a few yellow items in your capsule wardrobe is a brilliant way to always stay in transitional style. 

Matching the buttercups and daffodils of spring, the shining sun of summer, and the crisp mustard-hued leaves of autumn, yellow is always in season! Even in winter, when we might not see much of the colour in nature, some yellow knitwear can be the perfect way to brighten up a bleak winter’s day.

Keep warm in a way that’s always uber-cool with a trendy leather jacket: another capsule wardrobe favourite. Their edgier air can help you to layer up your favourite dress or top for an evening out, letting you enjoy your best spring or summer party dress in the autumn and winter too!

Keep wearing your favourite graphic tees all year long by reviving the genius Y2K trend of wearing a plain long-sleeved top underneath your t-shirt or dress! Now you won’t need to wait until next summer to enjoy the charm of your most beloved prints and slogans.

Pinafore dresses are fantastic transitional fashion for layering, making them a fabulous addition to your year-round capsule wardrobe. 

They can be worn as is in summer or with a short-sleeved t-shirt or floaty blouse in spring. Then, as the weather cools, pair the pinny with a roll-neck jumper or a knitted cardigan for an effortless look that transcends style and age in autumn. All you need is a pair of chunky boots to give it a little bit of edge and you have some go-to stylish winter wear.

Our remarkable tunics are wonderful for exuding effortless boho fashion year-round. Wear them as a gorgeous mini dress in the hotter months, then pair them with jeans or leggings for a vibrant autumn or winter outfit. 

And if the bohemian look is your style of choice, our tips on a boho capsule wardrobe will be perfect for you.

Shirts and blouses are another year-round capsule wardrobe item. Knot them at the waist as a cute summer crop top, have them breezily untucked and flowing in spring, tuck them into your trousers or skirt for added insulation in autumn and warm them up in winter with a stunning blazer.

A warm coat over an outfit is the ultimate elevation piece on colder days. If you’re heading somewhere with lovely indoor heating, dress as carefree as you like (within reason). But wrap up warm when heading outside using a light transitional jacket in spring and autumn or opt for a luxurious faux-fur or elegant longline coat in winter.

Our wonderfully warming knitwear is the perfect way to cosy up an outfit for autumn or winter. A jumper and jeans is one of the go-to casual winter outfits for women, or throw a cardigan over your favourite top for autumn warmth.

A few simple but stylish accessories can update an outfit for the new season in a flash:

• A stunning scarf and chunky belt give your look some autumn flair with ease. 
• A gorgeous pair of vintage-style gloves and a cute hat transition it seamlessly into winter. 
• Then, as the flowers start to bloom, ditch those cosier accessories for delicate jewellery to bring a free-spirited spring vibe.
• And in summer, keep cool with a fabulous floppy sun hat and a chic pair of shades.
