We’re in that awkward phase where it’s not cool enough for sweaters but summer clothes no longer feel appropriate. One easy way to create a transeasonal outfit is to wear light fabrics in autumnal shades. Even though the summer heatwaves seem like a distant memory now, it’s still actually quite warm for the time of year. I’ve seen bermuda shorts hailed as a hero transeasonal piece and it’s easy to see why: they look polished with a variety of outfit combinations while keeping you cool.
I’ve previously featured these shorts with a red utility shirt and FitFlops, they’re so versatile and easy to dress up or style casually. On this occasion, I’ve paired them with a new leaf print blouse from Izabel*. The fabric is beautifully soft and light, much like the floral print dresses I featured in April and July. This transeasonal outfit in autumnal shades offers the best of both worlds, with warm hues and light fabrics.
One summer trend I was a bit hesitant about was the straw sailor hat. But after buying the pink striped hat at a French market, I had my eye on this neutral one at H&M. I missed the boat when it went on sale, but found it on Vinted for £4! I’d already ordered one from Reserved, but it looked like I was wearing an upturned basket on my head! This has a brim so it suits me much better (and it’s a fraction of the price!).
Confession time: I would have worn chunky sandals with this outfit…but I hadn’t painted my toenails. So, I chose these old leopard print court shoes instead. Not the most comfortable footwear, but the neutral shades match the hat and shorts. For an injection of bright colour, I added my Ollie & Nic bag. It works so well with this transeasonal outfit, matching the orange in the blouse print, It’s now half price at only £32!

Simply beautiful dear Emma.
Warm greetings from our travel to Greece

Love this outfit, it is a perfect solution for bridging the seasons! I rarely see anyone wearing a traditional watch, and see you are wearing one. Coincidentally, I was recently sorting through my costume jewelry, and ran across several old watches (with dead batteries and the vintage wind up type) and was thinking about wearing them as accessories. Thanks for the favorite from last week, and hosting the link up!
Bermuda shorts were a revelation this summer! I love the style and colour of yours
You wear those bermudas very well. Great colours too. And what a bargain!
Emma, this is such a beautiful transitional outfit for the season. I am currently on a kick with autumnal colors in shades of browns and oranges so this color palette really appeals to me. I’m like you and I switch my color palette first before the weather gets cool enough for actual fall clothing. Thanks so much for the feature this week! That was a lovely surprise.

I absolutely love the length of these shorts and this color scheme! The orange is so perfect for fall and is very Hermes-coded. =)
I hope you are having a great week so far!

Such a gorgeous color combination for transitioning seasons! The rust and olive tones feel so perfect for autumn, while the lighter layers keep the outfit from feeling too heavy. I especially love how the accessories pull all those warm shades together!
