Kendall Jenner’s Foolproof Formula For Transitional Dressing
2015 Bauer-Griffin1/7The funny thing about the start of September is that, really, the forecast is not any different from August. It’s still hot outside; you can totally get away with wearing the same shorts and tank tops you’ve had on rotation all summer. But something about the new month makes us think fall has arrived — even if the 85 degree temperature says otherwise.
So how can you dress for the new season without sweating to death? Kendall Jenner has the perfect solution. Use autumnal colors (think warm oranges, reds, and tans) and textures (suede, denim, and ribbed knit) to give your style a back-to-school-ready spin, while strategically showing enough skin to stay cool. To help you get through this awkward transition from steamy weather to crisp, sweater-ready conditions, we’ve shopped the full look ahead. Read on to make it your own!

Summer silhouettes in fall fabrics and shades make for the ultimate transitional look.
3/7Meet the sleeveless turtleneck, your new best friend for the next several months — yes, months! Once it’s too chilly for baring your arms, you can use the sleek silhouette as a layering piece; the high neckline looks so cool peeking above a dress, blouse, or pullover sweater.

4/7For a rumble-and-tumble contrast to your streamlined top, pair with a distressed denim skirt. We love how the high-low hemline on this provides insurance against wardrobe malfunctions.

5/7Although this look would work with most any ankle bootie style, few compare to the of-the-moment feel of a suede, stacked heel pair. This option is particularly fantastic, though, thanks to the hidden platform in the sole — extra height and extra comfort!

6/7Keep all that ripped denim and bare skin from feeling too casual with a polished black bag (with room enough for daily essentials, of course!).
