The Art of Transitional Layering

As summer fades into autumn, the key to dressing well is light layering. Combining breathable fabrics with versatile pieces that move effortlessly between warm afternoons and cooler evenings. Think of this season as a chance to build balance: comfort, adaptability and refinement in equal measure.

Start with the basics. Lightweight shirts and Henleys form a strong foundation, easy to wear alone when the sun is out but just as effective under a jacket or knit when temperatures drop. Then add texture and character. A well-cut jacket in canvas or cotton brings structure to casual outfits, while indigo denim or rugged chinos ground the look with durability. Small details like a leather belt, boots, or a single bracelet shift an outfit from functional to refined.

At its best, transitional style isn’t about reinvention, but adaptation. By building from a foundation of versatile staples, you can adjust to the season naturally; one layer at a time.

Smart-Casual Staples

A cardigan is one of the easiest ways to bring depth to your outfit without overcomplicating it. Layer it over the Sunday Shirt and pair with tan chinos for a clean, workwear-inspired combination. Leather boots and a simple belt ground the look, while a bracelet adds just enough personality.

Think of this as the everyday uniform; relaxed, refined and ready for anything.

Everyday Layers

When the temperature dips, start with the Wet Sand Henley as a base. Add the Carver Jacket in green for structure and warmth, and balance the look with indigo-wash jeans. Keep it casual with raw sneakers, then add a cap or beanie when the weather turns cooler.

The key here is practicality without losing style, a layered look that works from morning through to the evening.

Autumn Strolls

For days spent outdoors, start light with a vest and khaki pocket shirt. Layer on the Rider canvas jacket for a rugged edge, then ground the outfit with salt-oil jeans and sturdy leather boots.

It’s a look built for long walks and unpredictable weather, tough but timeless, with layers you can peel back as the day warms up.

Laid-Back Layers

Some days call for simple, easy style. A forest green sweatshirt layered over a raw Henley strikes the balance between casual and considered. Pair with relaxed khaki pants for comfort, then finish with high-top sneakers for a subtle nod to vintage sportswear.

Effortless and versatile, this is a look that’s as easy as it feels.
