Transitional clothing is a tricky business. Summer trends don’t feel quite as current anymore and it’s too early to break out into the heavy fabrics of trendy fall fashion. It’s important to invest in light layers, multi-season jackets and plenty of denim. So I buy every transitional piece I need on sale at Artizia – one of my favorite brands in any weather – to get me through these last days of the season.
From now until August 12, Aritzia is hosting an end of season sale with up to 70 percent off over 2,000 pieces. This is truly a huge sale. The clearance section includes every piece you need this early fall season. Think cashmere sweaters for chilly mornings, blazers to combat the chilly air or cold AC at the office, and trench coats for every occasion. I even found some trendy jeans to wear now and well into the colder seasons. Whether it’s a classic button-down shirt or cool cargo pants, you can be sure that every piece on this list can be worn now and well into fall.
And the best part? Each find is under $200. Keep scrolling to shop Aritzia’s best transitional finds, because fall will be here faster than you think.

Wilfred Freestyle 5″ Romper (was $78)
Everyone and their mom seems to have this onesie, and I understand the hype. It’s ultra-stretchy, breathable, and sweat-wicking, making it a good one-and-done outfit for the airport. Just throw on a cardigan and white sneakers, and you’re good to go.
Wilfred Free Unwind Waist Cardigan (was $158)
You can never have too many knits in the fall and winter. This white cardigan with its cropped hem will stand out in your collection. It’s made from 100% extra-fine merino wool, so you can be sure it’s ultra-soft too.

A dress you can wear for several seasons is a smart investment. Wear this option with your favorite shirt and sandals now, and pair it with knee-high boots and a leather jacket in the fall. All colors are on sale, so stock up on a few.

Put on this blazer when you’re stuck for what to wear. Its structured shape is perfectly polished so you’ll look like a million bucks even in jeans and a t-shirt. The brown shade is also particularly good for fall.
Levi’s 501 Skinny Jeans (Was $108)
Skinny jeans are set to make a comeback this fall. Grab these classic Levi’s for under $50 and give the controversial trend a try. With a hint of stretch, they’re more comfortable than the skin-tight versions of the early ’00s.

Wilfred Luxe Cashmere Marie Sweater (was $218)
You won’t find a cashmere sweater on sale for another two months, so I recommend adding this one to your cart ASAP. It’s made from the softest cashmere available.
