Transeasonal Outfit in Autumnal Shades + Style With a Smile Link Up

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.

This transeasonal outfit in autumnal shades offers the best of both worlds, with warm hues and light fabrics

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!).

For an injection of bright colour, I added my Ollie & Nic bag

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!
