TRANSITIONAL OUTFIT IDEAS, INSPIRED BY YOU

SEPTEMBER 21

Transitional wardrobes are on most of our minds at the moment, as we leave Spring/Summer behind for Autumn/Winter. But what to wear, when it’s not quite ‘coat weather’ and not warm enough for sandals? When we’re still keen to show off our recent loans but need to tune them in to the new season mood?

That’s where we’ve turned to you, Loaners, and all the wardrobe inspiration you’ve provided by posting your rented outfits on Instagram. We’ve gathered some of the best transitional wardrobe ideas via your styling – so see yourselves and some brilliant ideas for getting dressed below.

ADD AUTUMN COLOURS

Want an outfit that exudes a uniquely Autumn mood? Simply add Autumn colours into the mix of your next batch of loans.

Stylish Loaners showing off just how well this can be done, include (left to bottom right) elliecawthera, roshni_radia, emilycro and afiajasmine, wearing rich oranges, rust, black and brown for brilliant seasonal effect.

Try this suit by Kitri for work or classy play, or Farm Rio‘s midi-dress to standout wherever you’re headed. And we wouldn’t go anywhere worth being seen at without Hai’s top handle bag by our side.

GO DARK WITH FLORALS

Think florals are just for Summer? Think again – as according to (left to top right) biancaffoley, roshni_radia, alldressednowheretogo, thedresserupper and fashionlovingphysician, they can continue to make an appearance well into Autumn, so long as you choose a darker print.

Mother of Pearl have numerous options for midi dresses, while this two-piece by Malene Birger will see you through night and day too. But a total hit for eves out is this Rodebjer gown. Loan it next and you’ll want to keep it all year.

INSERT BLACK

We noticed a trend amongst you Loaners: Using black as a base to make your loans really pop. It’s also a great way to rewear the items you’re renting, and completely change the ‘upbeat’ mood of bright colours and busy prints.

Case in point is this stand out look from annatwyford (seen 3rd from left-right), who uses a shiny trench and boots to tone down the Summer vibes of this Hayley Menzies dress. Similarly, nicoleregofreitas (bottom right) uses black leather to winter-fy Shrimp’s very Spring-like floral skirt.

Meanwhile, most of you are pairing bright blouses and jackets with classic black trousers – which if you don’t already have in your wardrobe, you can also borrow from Onloan.

LAYER UP

When the weather changes from warm to cool, of course it requires adding layers – another trick to making your Summer-ready loans extend their wear going into Autumn.

More than simply adding a jacket a la Loaners (middle left to middle right) francescasaffari, aestheticalblog, carolinesstylehacks and mrsemilyevans, who look both warm and great in their looks, there’s fun to be had in layering jumpers under dresses like chilliesandclothes (bottom left), and shirts under sweater vests like masih_hijau (top right).

See dresses from Mother of Pearl and By Malene Birger for great layering potential, or be first to get the puffa coats and jumpers out, by loaning from Soeur or Baum & Pferdgerten.
