Let Models-Off-Duty Inspire Your Transitional Wardrobe

A Cozy Twist on Double Denim

We rely on jeans and matching jackets all summer when we’re low on outfit inspiration, but once the temperature dips, a sleek turtleneck takes the combo to a more refined place.

Find Some Middle Ground

Matching up the hemlines of your jacket and dress is an outdated rule, but layering midi proportions looks unexpected in a sea of duster coats and snug moto jackets.

One Chic Coat to Wear with Everything

Considering it’s all anyone sees during the winter, a standout coat is a necessary investment. Choose one that’s classic but has a twist—like oversize buttons or leather trim—to upgrade the basics you’re wearing underneath.

A Suede Tank to Covet Now and Later

Tackle this month’s unpredictable weather with a suede shell. It’s rich enough to curb your fall cravings, but won’t cause you to overheat on the subway (which is, inevitably, still a sauna).

Tie One On

Don’t bury your slip dress because summer is over. Take a tip from Jamie Bochert and tie a chunky knit over your shoulder to combat fall’s chill and sport your slip all September long.

The Bigger, the Better

If models have proven anything, it’s that an oversize furry coat can make even the mini-est of dresses feel appropriate for fall. A little leopard print doesn’t hurt, either. Talula Coat, US $198; AED/SAR 727 Buy it now Alexander McQueen Dress, US $1,995; AED/SAR 7,328 Buy it now Vita Fede Ring, US $295; AED/SAR 1,084 Buy it now Photos: Courtesy of Aritzia; Courtesy of Net-a-Porter; Courtesy of Vita Fede; Tommy Ton (street style)

Sporty Shorts Work All Year Long

Say goodbye to cutoffs and embrace a sportier shape for fall. Just add a striped sweatshirt and sneakers and you’ll be ready to take the city streets by storm.

Never Leave Home Without a Scarf

Large, fringed, and in a pastel hue—those are the rules for wearing a scarf like a model this season. And at just one piece, it might be the easiest trend to try.

Silk All Season

Pajama dressing can be tricky in colder months, but a marled sweater and Chanel bag would make any night-to-day silk set work.

James Taylor might have sang “winter, spring, summer, and fall, all you’ve got to do is call,” but we beg to differ. In between the major seasons are smaller micro ones, several-week periods where one needs an outfit ready to tackle any weather, sweltering to subarctic. For inspiration for the upcoming summer-meets-fall transition, look no further than our on-the-street photos of models between shows. Dressed to tackle running to shows, strutting at castings, and posing on the street, these models know how to make an outfit work, whatever the temperature. Find 10 tips to try from these catwalkers in the slideshow above.
