Late-Summer Outfits You Can Wear Well Into Next Season

Transitional season? Absolutely adore it. Dressing differently everyday depending on the temperature? Not so much. Over here at Pom Pom London, we must admit we’re big fans of the lovely layering that comes with a lower UV, but it can definitely be tricky to navigate. Knowing which staple pieces in your wardrobe mix and match well is the ultimate game-changer, and if you don’t already, you’re in the right place. In the spirit of staying cool whilst looking cool, we’ve done our research thoroughly and are here to share the findings. Read on to find out which showstopping looks to add to your rotation next month.

Hitting Daily Steps in Style

Determined to get in those 10k steps but also want to look your best, regardless? We can strongly relate to that one. Being productive doesn’t mean you have to be boring! Put on a pair of your favourite leggings or comfy flares, a simple t-shirt, fine knit cardigan and grab your go-to mac or raincoat. A pair of trainers will complete the outfit, as will the right bag to tie it all together. Fit your water bottle, Coin Purse, headphones and Glasses Case into the Sutton Sling, attach a long strap and wear it crossbody for maximum comfort. Opt for a long sleeve top and scarf if the weather turns chillier.

Girly Brunching

Let your hair down, book in some quality time with your girlfriends and go to brunch. Want to look effortlessly put-together? Pick your most flattering jeans, an embroidered blouse, a light blazer or jacket and the dressiest pair of shoes you have that you don’t mind walking in. For a fun few hours socialising, less is more when it comes to bag space, which is why we’d recommend the Chelsea Wallet Bag. Spoilt for choice with all the compartments and built-in coin pouch, you won’t lose your lipgloss, cards or keys once. Available in Black or Stone, so you can choose the neutral to match any outfit. 

Casual Errand Cool

Has your to-do list been following you around all week? Dressing in an outfit that makes you feel confident can do wonders for your willpower. Put on a cotton midi dress, - one that you have room to move around in - a denim shirt, with a pair of ballet flats or minimal trainers. Add in a Lambeth Bag and you’ll have room for all the essentials; your Wallet, phone, plus a bottle of water and any snacks to keep you well fueled. Ticking things off the to-do-list never looked so good. 

Dressing It Up or Down

We’re loving the trending lace trims and asymmetric hems, but the dipping temperature calls for some adjustments. Take your beloved long summer dress, and add in a pair of boots, a light scarf or neutral mac to make it just a little more weather-proof. One bag that can be adjusted to work with different outfits, made into a crossbody or a shoulder bag, is the Edgware Bag. Styled up or down, this bag will elevate whatever look you put it with; with a structured silhouette, subtle curvature and two different leather straps, you can style it until your heart’s content. 

The Final Rule: Never Sacrifice Style

These four foolproof outfits are great ones to have in your transitional outfit rotation; even better if you add your own edge to them. You’ll certainly find us wearing a version of them on repeat. While the weather can catch you off guard, with a few versatile layers and accessories, you can strike the delicate balance of layering to stay just warm enough without overheating, and still look enviably stylish whilst you do it.
