September First Look: Seasonless Staples
September is here and Pumpkin Spice Lattes are officially launched, but the weather hasn’t quite caught onto the Fall memo yet. While we wait for the crisp air to hit, we wanted to share our Seasonless Staples to take you from the hot days to the cool evenings, and eventually, the chillier fall days we look forward to! These pieces are the foundation of a well-curated closet, ensuring you always have something to wear, no matter the temperature. In other words, these are our top picks to wear anywhere, in any weather.
- Blazers
Blazers are no longer just for the office—they’ve become a seasonless (and in our opinion, occasion-less!) staple, perfect for layering to wear anywhere and everywhere. Our go-to’s lately have been our soft knit Notch Collar Blazer or our Cinched Sleeve Notch Neck Blazer! Both can be styled in countless ways to accommodate both hot and cooler weather.
- Hot Days: Pair either blazer with this bodysuit or the Favorite Luxe Essentials V Neck Tee, a linen trouser (currently loving these!), or tailored shorts (I've been wearing these on repeat!) and strappy sandals. This look is chic yet comfortable, perfect for brunch or a day in the office.
- Cooler Days: Drape the Notch Collar Blazer or our Double Breasted Blazer over our Soft Ponte V-Neck Side Cinch Maxi Dress or the Slouchy Luxe Open Neck Sweater and our medium wash denim! Add ankle boots or loafers for a more polished look suitable for dinner dates or outdoor events. And of course, we can't not bring up our newest blazer -- the Notch Collar Knit Topper that is so cute it has us wanting to wear it despite the 90* weather! Made in the same amazing knit quality as our other infamous stretch knit blazers, this topper is a quintessential fall staple.
Where to Wear: These looks are all great for work meetings, rooftop dinners, or a coffee catch-up with friends.
- Midi Dresses
Midi dresses are an easy go-to for their versatility and effortless style. They can be worn casually during the day and dressed up at night with minimal effort.
- Hot Days: Opt for the Kira Drawstring Midi Dress in chiffon. Pair with sandals and minimal accessories for a laid-back vibe, perfect for a backyard barbecue, a wedding, or a brunch date.
- Cooler Days: As temperatures drop, we find ourselves reaching for the Long Sleeve Midi Sweater Dress. Easy to pair with a bootie, ballet flats or a casual sneaker, this dress is an essential closet staple for any occasion!
- Button-Up Shirts
A classic button-up shirt is a wardrobe workhorse that easily transitions between seasons. It can be worn on its own in the summer and layered in cooler months.
- Hot Days: Roll up the sleeves and tuck the Button Front Shirt Blouse into a pair of the Stretch Twill Trousers for work, or pair it with the Perfect Ponte Wide Leg Ponte Pants for a more casual approach on the weekend. You can also tie the shirt at the waist over the Ruffle Sleeveless Henley Knit Maxi Dress for an added layer without overheating.
- Cooler Days: Layer the button-up under the Diamond Stitch Crochet Cardigan with our best-selling Denim for an easy chic look, or pair it with the Essential Perfect Ponte Wide Leg Pant for a more casual approach on the weekend.
Where to Wear: This versatile piece is great for a day at the office, weekend brunch, or an evening out.
- Ponte Pants
Our Ponte pants are comfortable, stylish, and suitable for both warm and cooler temperatures. They offer an alternative to jeans, allowing for more comfort and mixes up your weekday wardrobe!
- Hot Days: Pair either our Essential Perfect Ponte Wide Leg Pant or the Ponte Cargo Joggers with a tucked-in Favorite Tee for a balanced, relaxed look. Add sandals or sneakers, and you’re ready for a day in the city.
- Cooler Days: Throw on a Feminine Sweater Tank and matching Feminine Mock Neck Cardigan, and switch to closed-toe shoes like ballet flats. Don’t hesitate to dress up the Wide Leg’s with a blouse and blazer for a workwear look! It’s our comfiest way to cheat a dress code ;)
Where to Wear: Great for weekend outings, casual dinners, or even office wear with the right accessories.
- Basic Tees
A simple, high-quality T-shirt is an absolute mandatory closet must-have! Never underestimate the power of a great tee - they can be worn with just about anything in your closet. It’s a great layering piece that works well no matter the weather and has versatility to be dressed up or down.
- Hot Days: Pair the Favorite Crew Neck Tee with the Ponte Cargo Joggers or a linen trouser for a day out and about. Tuck it in or leave it loose for a relaxed look with your go-to sandals. Both looks are perfect for your kids sporting events or casual outings.
- Cooler Days: Layer the Favorite V Neck Tee under this cardigan, blazer, or even this trench coat. Add jeans or the Stretch Twill Trouser depending on how dressy you’d like to be with a low heel. If it’s a cooler evening but still too hot to wear a layer, throw the sleeves of your cardigan over your shoulders for an easy chic look.
Where to Wear: From coffee runs to weekend markets, a concert or a meeting, a basic tee fits any occasion.
Seasonless staples are the foundation of a versatile wardrobe. With the right pieces, you can effortlessly transition from hot summer days to cooler autumn evenings. Keep these styling tips in mind, and you’ll be ready for any occasion, whether it’s a backyard party, a work event, or a night out with friends.
Happy styling!
