As we slowly say goodbye to summer and begin to welcome in fall, I’ve got “transitional” dressing on my mind. The shorts and bikinis simply aren’t doing it for me anymore, and instead I’m interested in the outfits I can start wearing now but will continue to get use out of in the coming months. Since I was already saving inspiration for my own personal use, today I figured why not share the screenshots I’ve been hoarding with all of you, too.

And not that I’m ever one to deter you from shopping, but let’s say one day you’re in a pinch (whether it’s for time, energy, or budget) and need to look chic and put-together in a flash. It’s important that you have an arsenal of outfits to fall back on. For that reason, I limited the below to those comprised of timeless basics mostBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing readers already own. After all, you are a well-dressed bunch of smart shoppers! Of course, if you are still working on your collection of wardrobe essentials or simply love to shop, I’ve included my favorite investment-worthy pieces one could buy to get the look too. Heard enough? Simply keep scrolling to get started.

As a jeans-and-tee loyalist, I'm impressed by just how much a dark button-down elevates the look, and you can bet I'm taking note.

If, like me, you're dying to get back into your blazers, this tee-and-sandals styling is a smart way to get into your suits early. When the weather really starts to cool, you can simply switch in close-toed flats.

I loved this way of styling an all-white outfit with black accessories last year, and I'm still not over it.

This is a reminder to myself to stop tucking in my tops and wear them out instead.
