For those of us who enjoy staple summer trends like halter tops and mini dresses, the close of the season feels like it’s coming too soon (but let’s be honest, summer is never long enough). But what if the end of summer doesn’t have to mean the end of this season’s fashion?
There are an endless number of ways to transition your most loved summer styles from fun in the sun to fall-adjacent, some of which are already fall 2020 trends from runway, expected to take off in the months ahead. Layering has taken on new heights in the form of juxtaposing textures, pairing tops with unexpected cutouts, or layering tops with dresses. Similarly, we’re seeing fall-ready spins on classic summer pieces, such as the cropped sweater and leather shorts.
Right now, with many activities from office meetings to weekend nights out at a halt, fashion has, in turn, slowed down as well and consumers are looking to pieces that offer the most bang for their buck. Durability, timelessness and versatility are key buying motivators. This makes for the perfect time to see just how far we can make our favorite summer trends stretch, and with the few key tricks ahead, your options are far and wide.

The cropped top and jacket combo is an unspoken must-have, and not without reason. A denim jacket and cropped T-shirt cater to a casual, laid back look, while for a dinner or small event, you could opt for a structured bustier and a leather jacket.
Team Your Sandals Up With Socks

Whoever said socks and sandals don’t mix never met a fashion fanatic determined for summer and fall coexist. For two totally different looks, you can pair chunky socks with everyday footwear like Ugg slippers or your favorite dad sandals, or dress up your look with heeled sandals and sheer socks.

Mini dresses don’t stop being great when summer ends. From brunch to a dinner date, the opportunity for a little black dress is sure to arise even in fall. Tights are the perfect way to provide a bit more coverage for your legs, and a textured or monogrammed pair serve as a statement of its own.
