If you ask Us, the end of summer is approaching at the speed of light. With time flying by so quickly, we already have our sights on fall fashion. Before you pack away your favorite warm-weather items, now is a great time to add transitional late-summer outfit pieces to your collection.
Walmart’s Scoop brand is a one-stop shop for transitional summer-to-fall items. Cozy sweater dresses, soft denim blouses and airy wide-leg trousers offer endless versatility as the seasons prepare to change. All it takes is a little layering to transform these summer styles into pieces you can wear post August. After digging through Walmart, we found 13 late-summer outfits that will transition for fall easily — all under $40.
13 Late-Summer Outfits That Seamlessly Transition for Fall
1. Our Favorite: We love the look of this ribbed, quarter-sleeve cardigan. During the summer months, layer it over graphic tees. And as fall approaches, style it with collared blouses and turtlenecks.
2. Quick Update: Throw your favorite sweatshirt over this spaghetti strap maxi dress for a fall-approved twist.
3. CEO Style: Instead of styling this dressy blazer with silky tank tops, pair it with long-sleeve turtlenecks once fall hits.
4. Work-Ready: Wondering what to do with lightweight styles, like this crinkly blouse? Simply add a thick tank top underneath to feel nice and warm.
