According to calendars, there are a few precious weeks of summer left to enjoy. But lately, many New Yorkers have noticed a crisp, cool breeze while walking the city streets. It’s beginning to feel a lot like fall. Specifically and sartorially, it’s beginning to feel like the best part of fall: the transitional season. The early weeks of September are one of the most exciting times to get dressed. It’s finally time to pull out the new jackets and jeans that are burning a hole in the back of your closet, but your favorite summer staples can still stay in play.
One of our favorite transitional outfit ideas is the simple combination of a jacket (be a blazer or ladylike jacket) and a dress. Sure, the two-piece formula may seem obvious, but much like its summer counterpart (dresses and sneakers!), it’s a versatile look that can be worn in endless iterations. The best blazer and dress combos are lessons in contrast—feminine versus masculine, long mixed with short, and business meets casual. For our favorite ways to wear it this fall, discover our edit below.
