As summer fades and autumn approaches, mastering the art of transitional dressing is key. The in-between weeks call for layers that balance lightness with structure — pieces that can handle crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and cooler evenings with ease. Few brands do this better than Aritzia, whose curated collection of transitional wardrobe essentials is made for layering, longevity, and everyday luxury.
Below, we’ve rounded up seven transitional staples from Aritzia that GRAZIA’s fashion editors approve of, to seamlessly carry your closet from late summer into fall.
Why Transitional Essentials Matter
Think of transitional dressing as the connective tissue of your wardrobe. Investing in versatile, lightweight layers ensures you won’t be caught off-guard by unpredictable temperatures. More importantly, these pieces maximize your closet: they work now, but also evolve into foundations you’ll reach for all season long.
With its sharp tailoring, trend-aware silhouettes, and high-quality fabrics, Aritzia consistently delivers transitional essentials that last in your wardrobe beyond the moment — making them a smart investment as you refine your fall fashion lineup.
1. The Finch Trench Coat, $248: SHOP NOW
A trench coat is the definition of timeless transitional outerwear. Aritzia’s Finch Trench Coat updates the classic silhouette with clean lines and an elevated drape, making it the perfect lightweight layer for work commutes or weekend strolls. Toss it over a slip dress on warmer days or layer with knits as autumn deepens.
2. Josephine Bomber, $248: SHOP NOW
The bomber jacket has become a street-style staple, and the Josephine Bomber is Aritzia’s polished take. With its relaxed fit and slightly cropped cut, it’s the ideal throw-on piece to give your outfit a modern, effortless edge. Pair it with trousers or jeans when temperatures start to dip.
3. The Limitless Pant™, $148: SHOP NOW
Nothing says versatility like a sleek pant you can wear from desk to dinner. The Limitless Pant™ features a flattering wide-leg cut in a lightweight fabric that moves with you. Its fluid silhouette feels breezy now, but anchors cozy knits and blazers come fall.
4. The ’90s Iggy Low-Rise Baggy Jean, $110: SHOP NOW
Baggy denim is having a major moment, and Aritzia’s ’90s Iggy Jean nails the trend. The relaxed, low-rise fit feels casual with tanks and tees now, but can be elevated with tailored blazers and heeled boots as the season shifts. It’s the cool-girl denim staple worth adding to your fall rotation.
5. Jewel Skort, $98: SHOP NOW
When you’re not ready to let go of skirts, a skort bridges the gap. The Jewel Skort combines the look of a mini with built-in comfort, making it a practical yet chic transitional piece. Pair it with loafers and a knit vest in early September, then swap in tights and boots when the chill sets in.
6. Producer Blazer, $248: SHOP NOW
No transitional wardrobe is complete without a blazer, and the Producer Blazer is one of Aritzia’s best. Its structured shoulders and relaxed fit make it endlessly versatile — whether draped over jeans and a tee or styled with trousers for power dressing. Expect this to be a repeat wear all season.
7. Define Skort, $98: SHOP NOW
Sporty chic is still trending, and the Define Skort taps perfectly into the athleisure-meets-everyday aesthetic. Lightweight and practical, it’s easy to wear for errands, travel, or layered under oversized knits. Consider it your go-to “off-duty” fall piece.
