What do you wear when the summer heatwave is a distant memory, yet the chill of autumn hasn’t quite set in? Or when the temperature gauge is reaching 20ºC, but there’s little to no chance of it escalating into the 30s? Yep, there’s always that moment in between seasons when dressing becomes a bit of a guessing game, and you are guaranteed to end up alternating between sweaty mess and shivering block of ice over the course of one day. Luckily, & Other Stories has just dropped the answer to our fashion prayers in the form of its Paris Atelier Pre-Fall 21 edit.
For us, the secret is smart layers: Think shirts, jeans, insulating jackets, the odd summer dress and a versatile selection of shoes that stretches from loafers to sturdy boots. & Other Stories has certainly ticked all of the above boxes with its latest edit, which includes a very cool statement-collar denim minidress that will look just as good with knee-high boots as it will with ballet flats. I’ve also had my eye on the brand’s flared patch-pocket jeans for a while thanks to their flattering high waist and wide-leg fit. Style them with a white tee and sandals on warmer days, and add a quilted jacket when temperatures fall. So if you’re struggling with what to wear in this not-quite-hot, not-quite-cold weather, allow me to present you with the ultimate trans-seasonal edit from & Other Stories. Scroll down to see more.
