Many might be wondering, how did summer fly by so fast? The weather shifts quickly from one day to the next, making it hard to fully part with your summer wardrobe, but it's not quite time for the heaviest autumn pieces yet. That's when finding a transitional look can be really helpful before autumn truly sets in. Here are tips on five new arrivals to effortlessly update your early autumn style while still keeping things relaxed.

The striped "dress shirt" with a relaxed fit is a perfect piece to start the autumn with, especially for those first weeks back at the office. Its loose fit combined with luxurious cotton fabric provides both a sense of freedom and a polished look.

Wool garments are always a good investment, and this autumn we're particularly fond of wool cardigans. Wool cardigans are the perfect transitional piece from late summer to early autumn mornings. A stylish yet practical choice when the weather fluctuates in temperature. This light blue pop of color adds a touch of brightness to what can otherwise be a gray autumn.

A pair of trousers that hold up in any situation and offer great comfort are these black straight-leg chinos. They work well for the office and are easy to adapt for after-work plans. The fact that they can be dressed up or down, whether with penny loafers or sneakers, makes them a flexible and versatile piece.

For those of us not quite ready to let go of summer and vacation style, a pair of practical Birkenstocks is a perfect choice. Paired with thicker, high socks, they work wonderfully even during the first weeks of the autumn season.

Often, as autumn approaches, those shoes you bought in the spring no longer feel new, even though they were so fresh just as summer was beginning. That's when it's time to update your sneaker game for the start of school or those first weeks back at work to bring a bit of newness.

Right now we offer a shoe care kit with the purchase of sneakers. Access the offer here.
