Style Shift: <$200 Essentials Guiding My Summer-to-Autumn Wardrobe

The key pieces keeping my wardrobe chic, effortless, and perfectly in sync with the season’s shift

Summer dressing has always been a bit of a struggle for me. While I love the ease of throwing on a dress and calling it a day, I often find myself missing the structure and depth that cooler-weather dressing allows. As we ease into autumn—but with the warmth still lingering—I’m looking to add a few thoughtful pieces that bridge the gap between the seasons without feeling like an afterthought.

Instead of overhauling my wardrobe, I’m focusing on integrating pieces that work with what I already own. I’m playing with new shapes, colours and textures, pushing myself beyond my usual silhouettes to create outfits that feel fresh but still very me.

Assuming there may be many of you stuck in a similar rut, I collated some of my favourites. This edit is all about those essentials: the pieces I’m loving right now that are making the summer-to-autumn shift feel a little more seamless (and a lot more stylish) and doing it for under $200.
