10 Transitional Fashion Staples I’m Shopping at Amazon Ahead of Fall

The end of August can be a confusing time for shopping. You don’t want to splurge on summery pieces, but it’ll still be a couple of months before the weather really cools down. In other words, it’s the perfect time to stock up on transitional fashion staples that can be worn during that awkward period at the end of the summer and into the fall. 

These are the clothes you’ll reach for when you’re ready to retire your denim cut-offs for the year. Think: layering pieces to keep you warm on cool mornings that you can shed when it heats up later in the day. Transitional fashion also means swapping out your flip flops for cool new sneakers or cowboy boots. 

Still not sure where to get started? I found 10 trendy transitional pieces on Amazon that are fashionable, yet affordable—and prices start at just $25.

Luvamia Casual Slim Blazer

A blazer is a versatile essential that everyone should own. It can be paired with pants and a camisole for the office, or you can dress it down with jeans or a maxi dress. This slim-fitting blazer is fully lined and features details such as a notched lapel and lightly padded shoulders for a structured look—plus, it’s reasonably priced less than $45. With more than 4500 five-star reviews on Amazon, this blazer definitely deserves a spot in your closet.

New Balance 574 Core Sneakers

New Balance sneakers have been an “it” shoe for a few years now, as they’re frequently spotted on the feet of celebrities like Kaia Gerber. These trendy New Balances from Amazon have it all with a comfortable fit, a retro silhouette, and plenty of color options to choose from. Like any good pair of sneakers, they can be worn with everything from jeans or dresses to your favorite athleisure. 

Levi’s 94 Baggy Jeans

Baggy jeans are having a moment, as spotted on celebs including Selena Gomez. With their ‘90s straight-leg style and baggy fit, these Levi jeans check all the boxes for the perfect denim for the summer-to-fall transition. Pair them with a crop top or bodysuit for a streamlined, proportional look. Available in both standard and plus-size, these jeans are currently on sale for 50% off (yes, you read that right). 

Dokotoo Oversized Button Down

A button down shirt is a year-round staple, but it can be especially handy during the transition between seasons. For example, this lightweight option from Amazon can be worn by itself with shorts, or used as a layering piece over tank tops. It can even be used as a swimsuit cover-up for your end-of-summer vacation. “Nice weight for summer,” wrote one shopper, who added that it “washed well” and had a pretty color. 

Pasuot Western Cowboy Boots

Ready to enter your cowgirl era? Switch out your summer sandals for these crocodile-effect cowboy boots. Their low-heel design and effortlessly cool style have made these the top-selling women’s knee-high boots on Amazon—and they’re on sale for just $51. Pair them with a boho maxi skirt for a coastal cowgirl look, or a denim mini skirt for a night out on the town.
