Did Someone Say Fall? Here Are 11 Things I’m Buying Now To Transition Into Cooler Weather

Alexa may be riddling off near 100-degree temps day after day, and my eyebrows may be gradually sliding off my face during every afternoon walk, but I have blissfully moved onto fall in my mind . I’m ready to risk it all and crank up the A/C in my house so I can layer chunky knit sweaters over cozy leggings to the tune of Taylor Swift’s Folklore album without a care in the world. Joking aside, since I’m decidedly over squeezing into my distressed denim shorts and grabbing the same sundresses I’ve worn on repeat this summer, I’ve been looking ahead to fall fashion . I distinctly remember the swift transition of blazing hot summer days to a chilly autumn breeze in years past, and the thought of being unprepared this year for that shift sends a shiver down my spine. Waste the first few weeks of my favorite season waiting around for out-of-stock popular items or risk shipping delays? No thanks. I’m getting a jump on shopping this year so that I can properly prepare for the stylish transition I’ve been anticipating. There are certain items that are iconic fall staples like oversized sweaters, denim jeans , and booties that are must-haves for any capsule wardrobe, but I’m also adding a few items to my shopping list that are gearing up to be major trendsetters this season. Without further ado, here are the 11 things I’m buying now to transition into cooler weather. Evie's product selections are curated by the editorial team.
