You step out in the morning and it is chilly, so you wrap yourself in a jacket! By lunch, you are carrying your jacket around like extra luggage. By evening, you want it back. Welcome to transitional weather.
\n\nFor the unversed, transitional dressing is simply how you dress for these in-between months, when summer is over but winter has not fully arrived. It means building outfits from light layers you can add or take off as the temperature changes through the day. A heavy coat is too much, but a T-shirt alone won't do. Get it right and you stay comfortable all day, while getting more wear out of clothes from both seasons.
\n\nIt blocks the wind without the weight of wool. This season, designers cut it short. Balenciaga showed cropped leather jackets that stop at the waist, which look great with high-waisted trousers.
\n\nA thin merino or cashmere sweater gives warmth without bulk. Wear it alone in the afternoon or under a jacket at night.
\n\nA cotton button-down works on its own, under a sweater, or worn open like a light jacket. Prada and Miu Miu built much of their Fall/Winter 2026 collections around simple shirts in cotton poplin.
