As we say a slow goodbye to summer, we greet a stylistic transition period, gently guiding us towards change. With cooler winds starting to graze our still-sun-kissed skin, this month we invite the concept of layering into our closets, a first step towards curating a comforting fall capsule, centered around four core pieces.

essential Bodysuit

It served as your friend through summer and can continue into fall. The humble bodysuit is a versatile layering piece, providing an extra layer of insulation under knitwear, and also offers an option to strip back when styled through autumn's indecisive temperatures. Made from a considered blend of recycled materials, our Essential Bodysuit comes in 6 neutral colorways, ensuring adaptability for refined, minimalist outfits through the seasons.

knit wrap skirt

Typically, skirts are synonymous with summer, but we believe a knit midi skirt is an enduring staple for fall. Again, they tread the fine line of suiting a variety of temperatures, easily layered over tights or long boots as we flow into the winter months.

Our Modal Rib Midi Skirt embraces both timeless style and the relaxed comfort sought throughout autumn. Expertly crafted by our LA artisans, this ageless piece offers small, elevating details, ensuring it will always feel fresh in your seasonal rotations.

Rib Knit Collared Cardigan

Soft, silky knits are first reached for at the turn of fall; they must, however, feel lightweight and delicate, steering clear of heavy-duty knits reserved for winter. A cardigan fills this stylistic blank, being easily carried in any generous work bag and swiftly styled for cooler nights.

It is with these seasonal needs in mind that we designed the Modal rib knit collared cardigan, created for a sense of effortlessness in both style and wear. Made from responsible Micromodal, this premium knit is the ally of modern capsule wardrobes.

Linen Oversized Shirt

Natural materials like linen are coveted for their cooling properties in the heat of summer, but their versatile insulating abilities are often forgotten. Allow your staple linen shirt to carry you into fall, serving as a thermoregulating layering tool, and ensuring you get the most wear out of your existing closet.

A classic reimagined in our refined silhouette, the essential linen oversized shirt has been timelessly crafted with locally sourced materials for a relaxed feel, to be the final tier of your autumn outfits. Whether paired over a form-fitting bodysuit or casual tee, the shirt acts as a simplified elevation of daily wear.

Summer pieces to say goodbye to (for now)

When rotating a capsule closet, pieces removed are never gone forever; instead, they are merely put aside to be revisited. It’s this circular approach that ensures you avoid falling into a cycle of unnecessary purchasing and losing the core identity of your wardrobe.

As our letter today highlights, many summer staples can easily be rebranded for autumn, but when looking to clear a little space for your autumn capsule, here are a few pieces to consider storing away for next season.

Lightweight dresses
Beachwear
Shorts
Sandals and summer footwear
Bandeau and cropped tops
