When the weather is 42 degrees in the morning, 72 in the afternoon, and a brisk 57 in the evening, transitional weather essentials are superheroes in our wardrobes. Instead of overheating in a puffer coat, perhaps a shacket (half-shirt, half-jacket) is what you need? Or maybe it’s a lightweight coat. We’re fans of Miu Miu’s buttery soft leather jackets and Loewe’s cargo-inspired styles that can easily be mixed and matched with everything. Layer them over a sweater or with one of those sleeveless dresses that you can’t wait to break out.
Of course, transitional-weather essentials go beyond outerwear. If it feels too soon to commit to a sandal, try testing the waters with a trans-seasonal loafer. Designs from Loro Piana and Everlane will help you play the fence when the weather is unpredictable.
You’ll find these and more transitional weather essentials, ahead.
The Spring Coat
Trade your heavy-duty layers for lightweight, seasonally-appropriate styles—like the Cos utility jacket or the quilted Toteme dream below.
The In-Between Season Shoe
Give your boots a rest until next year, and ease into the season with a shoe that shows off your ankles—like Tory Burch’s beloved ballet loafer or Bougeotte’s two-toned flat.
The Bright White Denim
When all else fails, you can always count on tried-and-true denim to get you through unpredictable weather. Switch it up and reach for light shades of white that instantly feel like spring.
The Plaid Shacket
Pair all of your white T-shirts and tank tops with one of these easy-going layering essentials. If you’re in the mood for a runway splurge, Bottega Veneta’s leather design is the trendiest of them all.
The Versatile Linen Dress
Dress season is upon us. Transition into the moment with breezy linen designs that can be dressed up with heels or down with sneakers.
The Lightweight Leather
Elevate your spring outerwear with a polished leather jacket. There’s no need to stick to all-black styles. Have fun with trendy faded browns or venture into different shades of beige.
