As the days get shorter and the evenings cooler, building a wardrobe that effortlessly bridges the gap between summer and autumn becomes essential. Transitional fashion is all about layering, versatile fabrics, and timeless staples that work across both seasons. At Yumi Clothing, we’ve curated a collection designed to help you feel stylish, comfortable, and ready for any weather changes.

In this guide, we’ll explore our must-have pieces for the season: from roll neck jumpers to rib knit dresses, and check trousers – everything you need to master the art of transitional dressing.

Roll Neck Jumpers: The Foundation of Autumn Layers

A lightweight roll neck jumper is the perfect piece to introduce as temperatures start to dip. Worn under a blazer for the office, layered with a cardigan for off-duty days, or tucked into check trousers for a chic weekend look, this staple is endlessly versatile. Choose neutral tones for a classic capsule wardrobe or opt for seasonal hues to add depth to your outfit.

Style tip: Pair a fine knit roll neck with a midi skirt for a polished, season-spanning outfit.

Check Trousers: From Office to Off-Duty

Checks are timeless, and trousers in this print transition beautifully between summer and autumn. Light enough to wear with a tee on warmer days, yet structured enough to pair with knitwear when it cools down, check trousers are a true investment piece.

Style tip: Team them with a roll neck jumper and loafers for effortless smart-casual dressing.

Rib Knit Dresses: Easy, Elegant, and Versatile

A rib knit dress is one of the easiest transitional pieces you can own. Its stretch and texture make it flattering and comfortable, while the knitted fabric provides just enough warmth for cooler evenings. Dress it up with ankle boots and a waistcoat or keep it casual with trainers and a cardigan.

Style tip: Belt your rib knit dress for a more defined silhouette – perfect for day-to-night styling.

Corduroy Comeback: Retro Meets Modern

Corduroy is making a strong return this season, and it’s the ideal fabric for transitional wardrobes. Warm yet breathable, it adds texture and interest to your outfits. From skirts to trousers and jackets, corduroy brings a retro charm with a modern twist.

Style tip: Pair a corduroy skirt with tights and a cardigan to create an autumn-ready outfit without sacrificing comfort.

Jumpers and Cardigans: Layering Essentials

When it comes to transitional dressing, layering is key – and jumpers and cardigans are your go-to. Cardigans add versatility, allowing you to slip them on or off as the weather shifts. Oversized jumpers, meanwhile, bring both comfort and style, perfect for cosy evenings.

Style tip: Keep a chunky cardigan at your desk for easy layering between meetings and after-work plans.
