I love a good flowy summer dress. When you find the perfect one, it can feel so effortless and comfortable, like — dare I say — you’re wearing a chic, elevated nightgown (in a good way!). But when the cooler air starts to set in, and all signs lead to fall, it’s time to transition those go-to summer dresses into hardworking staples for your fall closet.
My favorite summer dress this season was a score that I found at H&M. It’s quite shapeless, yet also structured and even has pockets! (p.s. it’s currently on sale for $20!)
Now let’s style it up for fall…
1. Start With Your Fave Summer Dress

2. Add A Suede Jacket + Western Boots
The perfect formula for transitioning your summery dress is all about layering. Throw on an oversized sweater over the top and pair it with sneakers. Wear it with a long cardigan or throw on a jean jacket. But the real winner for me?! Adding a suede jacket and a pair of timeless pointed booties with a western vibe. This combo just speaks fall to me and is simply perfect for transitioning into cooler weather.

A great suede jacket elevates any dress! The one I am wearing is my current favorite and is from Blank NYC. It feels buttery soft, and is lined on the inside. It’s an absolute must for fall and will live in my forever closet! This beauty is sold out in the camel color in plus, but is still available in this beautiful grey color and also stocked in all colors in straight sizes.
