7 tips for a great transitional outfit
- Warm but not too warm: Yes, when it’s wintry cold at the beginning of the day, people like to wrap up warm. But here you should definitely start with a bit of foresight outfit planning approach. The warm hours of sunshine come faster than you think and especially layers that you can’t take off so easily then make us sweat. And that’s exactly what we should actually avoid, because here lurks a source of danger for colds! Better up many thin layers put than few thick.
- Layered look with style: There are two types of layered looks: Den invisible with thermal underwear and wool socks and the street style ready with a combination of visible layered parts. I also choose the latter for my current outfits, because this variant of the layered look is much more versatile in everyday life and also makes the changing weather conditions a little more exciting for fashion lovers like me.
- The perfect transitional jacket: It doesn’t always have to be a parka or a leather jacket. A great tip are also Knit or wool blazer – they instantly add a smart finish to any outfit. Alternatively, there is also a mix of coat and cardigan, better known as Coatigan.
- Trends to pull over: Completely along the lines of the current fashion trends are also trench coats a great top layer when it comes to layered looks. We now like to wear them open over cardigans and oversized sweaters.
- Practical accessory: Light towels provide as a belt or pocket add-on for a cool eye-catcher and can at the same time in no time at all turned into a scarf when a chilly breeze makes itself felt.
- Preferably oversized: The onion outfit looks particularly harmonious when between the layers there is still enough space and all parts fall loose can. Therefore, the upper layers should be the best as oversized and loose as possible be cut.
- mix and match: As far as colors are concerned, a Transitional outfit made up of many layers especially good for color coordination. The rule of thumb here is: preferably between two layers in one similar color and one opposite tone combine and drape everything in such a way that every part is visible in the finished look.
3 outfit ideas for the transitional period
#1 Transitional outfit with culottes
At first I couldn’t really get used to the trend color lilac. In the meantime I have learned to love it and find the shade really refreshing for my wardrobe. This beautiful nuance comes into its own particularly well with muted colors such as beige and light brown. In this transitional outfit, I’m wearing a purple culotte, black combat boots, a thick knit sweater and a light, quilted jacket.

#2 Layering Outfit with Cape
You could say chic in knitwear here. I wear a cozy, slightly longer cardigan with the knitted leggings. In my opinion, a cape is perfect for the transitional period – it keeps you warm but is still airy enough for warm days. The look gets sporty with a padded baseball cap and the large shopper. I prefer to wear my combat boots with it, but sneakers also work with this transitional outfit.
