Katie’s Style Picks: Favorite Things for Late Summer and Early Fall
Late summer into early fall is one of my favorite times to refresh style staples and play with new pieces. This in-between season gives us the chance to mix breezy summer favorites with transitional items that work well into cooler weather. For this round of Katie’s Favorite Things, I’m sharing the pieces I’ve been reaching for most—chic accessories, everyday staples, and fun statement finds that make late summer style feel effortless and fresh.
Katie’s Style Picks: Casual Staples with a Twist
I have a cropped white button-down similar to this one, and without fail, I get asked about it every time I wear it. Mine is from a few seasons ago, but this updated version from Everlane is one I often recommend to clients. It’s classic, versatile, and the perfect staple for layering or wearing on its own.
You know I had to include a touch of leopard—my favorite print that truly works as a neutral. I’ve been wearing a casual leopard pant on repeat in the spring and summer, but I love the idea of a wide-leg jean version to carry this fun print into fall and winter.
Slim sneakers are everywhere this season, and this pair from Puma has quickly become a favorite. The rich coffee hue feels fresh yet neutral, and the sleek silhouette makes them incredibly versatile. They’re the perfect pair to transition effortlessly into fall.
Katie’s Style Picks: Chic Finishing Touches for Late Summer
Cool sunglasses instantly elevate any outfit, and right now I’m drawn to warm brown tones as we head into fall. This pair feels chic, modern, and easy to wear with almost anything in my closet.
Moscow Mule Cameron Sunglasses
I always love a good gold necklace. Statement pieces like this one are stunning worn alone, but they’re also perfect for layering. Whether styled solo or stacked with other favorites, it’s an accessory that instantly finishes a look.
Gold Initial Medallion Necklace
Back to the brown tones—do you sense a theme? I’ve always gravitated toward belts that aren’t too thick, and this suede option strikes the perfect balance. It’s a chic neutral piece that can be styled with denim, dresses, or trousers, making it a true wardrobe workhorse.
These pieces are not only versatile for late summer and early fall but also help create outfits that feel polished with little effort.
