Transitional Fall 2025 Trends to Start Wearing This Summer

Fall fashion is on the mind here at the Marie Claire office despite the heat wave-like temperatures burning outside our windows. If you’re wondering how to transition your summer wardrobe into the cooler months, consider these seven transitional fashion trends as a helpful guide.

The trends on this list bridge the gap between warm-weather essentials and chilly-weather must-haves. Think: lightweight knits you can layer over a T-shirt or tank top, silky scarves that are proving to be fall’s hottest accessory (when worn as a belt, that is), and slouchy suede bags that can transform even the lightest summer dresses for fall. Plus, there are lace-trimmed shorts and skirts you can layer under chunkier cashmere sweaters once the weather turns, but that still tap into one of summer’s biggest trends until then. Add some Zoe Kravitz-approved track shorts (or track pants, if you prefer), and you’ve got a list worth shopping.
