Double Tap to Zoom

As the month draws the curtain on peak heat and extended daylight, we slowly reshuffle our wardrobe to accommodate for impending weather and mood changes.

So, together with Lululemon, we compiled a safe-bet rotation of late summer staples that'll effortlessly accompany you into crisper fall temperatures – and then some – as well.

With everything from relaxed cargos to lounge-y quarter zips, find below our list of refined, between-season basics, for work, staycation, and coolly humid morning runs alike.

Seasons Change: Late Summer Staples to Carry Into Fall

Polo Shirt

A good, slightly slouchy polo covers the middle ground between comfy-casual and put-together, easily dressed up or down, as flexible as September weather forecasts.

Linerless Short

This year has been the year of short shorts, no doubt about it. This airy, 5 inch pair'll have you run an evening 10k, Saturday errands or both.

Long Sleeve Button-Down

With its denim-like look, this shirt, too, connects the formal with something more easygoing.

Relaxed Cargo

LululemonStretch Cotton VersaTwill Relaxed-Fit Cargo Pant
$148
Buy at Lululemon

Made from Lululemon's trademark VersaTwill fabric, these cargos are as stylish as they are functional – stretchy, moisture-absorbent, quick-drying.

Half-Zip Sweatshirt

We're on the cusp of that time of year when we grab a sweater or hoodie to tie around our waist or torso, to pull over once the sun sets. Why not make this that item?

Pull-On Pant

Equally as simple to slip into are these pull-on pants. Even though they disguise well as a more office-appropriate chino, they offer the laid-back, feel-good fit of sweatpants.

Down Vest

Too warm still to be sporting a full coat, too chilly to be rocking just a tee? This sporty down vest fills the gap perfectly – an ultimate transitwear piece.

Running Pant

Of course a brand famous for Yoga pants would have expertise in active wear – and practical apparel altogether. If you were in doubt, you should no longer be.
