Stepping Between Seasons: Trans-Seasonal Fashion Picks 2024

It's that time of the season, when you can find yourself standing in front of your wardrobe, caught in a freeze, staring at your wool coat and a summer dress and can’t help but thinking: “Which of you shall I wear today?” The art of trans-seasonal dressing is the fashion equivalent of fine dining in real life - there are no clear rules and sometimes unexpected pairings work out the best.

As we walk out of the sunshine and ease into the chill, there are few Holy Grails that promise to hold your hand through the seasonal changes, like a perfect playlist that knows how to keep your day going.

Shoes: The Transitional Triumph

Let's start with the unsung heroes of your wardrobe: shoes. They are the exclamation marks for any outfit, capable of changing a statement faster than the weather changes in Autumn. For this in-between season, it’s all about the ballerina flats —a style that says, "I’m practical”, and still manages to whisper, “but I’m also glamorous." Our gold-leathered Chanel ballerina shoes in soft gold leather will help you to effortlessly stroll around the city, whether it's an everyday work commute or a Sunday brunch.

Don’t forget about ankle boots—versatile and chic, Chanel’s emerald-green pair or Dior’s white and black Oblique Sneakers will effortlessly carry you from a brisk Autumn morning to a surprise warm afternoon, keeping your style grounded—literally.

And let’s not bid farewell to summer just yet. Keep a space in your closet for a pair of elegant heels that can adapt to any occasion - perfect for those days when you’re not sure if the weather will play nice or naughty. Take a look at the picks of the season - the YSL sculpted high heels in White Leather Opyum and Guiseppe Zanotti high heels in Patent Silver Leather - perfect for a fancy Friday drink with a friend or a city date, whoever is luckier. This season, also have a look at the Black Valentino Rose mules—an indispensable choice for an effortlessly chic outfit.

Bags: A perfect companion for today and ever.

The right bag is like a great companion —it’s reliable, life-long , and always there for you when you need it the most. This season, you’ll find yourself reaching for mid-sized crossbody bags - they make it easy and comfortable to roam around, freeing your hands whether it’s an iced matcha latte on a Sunny day or a hot flat white to warm you in the cold winds.

The Chanel classic Flap bag doesn’t scream for attention; it subtly insists on it. For something a bit more playful, the YSL Yellow and Brown LouLou Puffer Shoulder Bag is perfect for a busy afternoon in the city. Our Hermes Kelly Retourne 25 in Swift Leather or MCM Gold Metallic Medium Tote are spacious enough to carry your essentials (which, let’s be honest, in this city includes everything from a hair tie to an emergency pair of flats), yet small enough to manoeuvre through crowded streets with ease.

A Metallic Silver Burberry Crossbody is another go-to, versatile enough for any style or occasion - a petite touché for any outfit.

Clothes: Le Mille-Feuille Season

Layering is a fashion's way of saying, "Why settle for one when you can have it all?" When it comes to clothing, the key to trans-seasonal style is all about those perfect layers. Think lightweight skirts that feel like a warm hug on cooler mornings but aren’t too heavy to shed when the sun decides to make an appearance. Our selection includes the Prada Wool skirt and an Isabel Marant Raffia Pleated skirt - ideal companions for those in-between days.

A tweeted Chanel dress is another essential—sharp enough for a business meeting, yet relaxed to go after on an evening date with the girls. A dress that can be hanging in your wardrobe next to a yellow sunflower from Zimmerman - an ultimate wardrobe chameleon, blending seamlessly into these last warm days.

Accessories: The Icing on the Cake

Let’s speak about the final touches of our outfits - accessories - they are like the slice of orange in the Aperol Spritz —technically optional, but really, who are we kidding? No outfit is complete without the perfect accessories—they’re the final touches that elevate your look. A lightweight Balenciaga scarf will be your best friend in this unpredictable weather. It’s stylish enough to add a little flair to your outfit, but practical to keep you warm when the weather decides to go from “pleasant sunny morning” to “tiny hurricane” in a matter of seconds. Why not wear a silent Balenciaga Cap - because who doesn’t want to look a little enigmatic while sipping their morning coffee.

Jewellery, too, plays its part. Chanel Stud earrings would add a touch of elegance on any outfit. For those still sunny days when you’re not quite ready to give up on the sun, a pair of oversized vintage Gucci sunglasses are the perfect blend of function and glamour. They will shield your eyes from the last rays of summer while adding that touch of mystery every cosmopolitan secretely craves for. And of course, the ‘Creme de la Creme’ for a trans-seasonal outfit would be our selection of Hermes watches - classy and timeless.

As we navigate the art of trans-seasonal dressing, remember that fashion is all about finding the right balance between practicality and style. And just like layers protect you from the weather, they also help you adapt to whatever the day might bring.
