I'm Not Over Summer, But I'm Ready for Fall—33 Transitional Pieces on My Wish List

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 30 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.

Summer is by no means over, but it's safe to say that I'm excited for the temperature to dip below 70°, to slip on a light jacket, and to take breezy evening walks while sipping apple cider. Dreamy, right? Don't get me wrong—I'm still enjoying summer! I'm experimenting with color, wearing flip-flops, and packing swimsuits. I'm just ready for that absolutely perfect few weeks between summer and fall when I don't know exactly what to wear, which makes getting dressed more thrilling than usual. I get to consider wearing shorts with boots or a sweater with a miniskirt without fear of being too hot or too cold.

I took this excitement to my favorite retailers' websites and found 33 items that are already sparking joy. I'm talking suede skirts, leather sneakers, matching workout sets, and so much more. I couldn't help myself, so I even included some affordable beauty products to add to your seasonal rotation as well. Thank me later, and start your shopping spree below.
