A guide to the perfect transitional wardrobe

Not ready for an a/w wardrobe in August? Worry not — Annmarie O’Connor is here to save the day.

NO-ONE likes to be between anything: jobs, lovers, Homeland box sets; not least seasons. In fashion terms, ‘between seasons’ is a de facto style purgatory as retailers shill the last dregs of sale stock while waiting for next season’s manna to drop. And when it does, chances are it’s either too warm or too cold outside to wear any of it.

Your choices: wait patiently for the ideal sartorial conditions or brave the elements and show you mean business; even if that does involve blue limbs or questionable damp patches. That is, until now.
