8 TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN OUTFIT IDEAS // What To Wear NOW | Fashion Mumblr
Dressing Strategies for Unpredictable Weather
British blogger Josie LDN, who runs the Fashion Mumblr channel, tackles that exact question in her lookbook video “8 TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN OUTFIT IDEAS // What To Wear NOW.” Rather than chasing a single trend, she breaks down eight repeatable outfit formulas built for the stretch of the calendar when mornings are cold, afternoons are warm, and nobody wants to carry three coats. It’s a practical styling session, not a trend report — the goal is a wardrobe system you can actually reuse.
- The video walks through eight distinct outfit formulas for the late-summer-to-autumn shift, each demonstrated on camera by Josie LDN.
- Core techniques include the oversized blazer worn two ways (casual with denim, dressed up with trousers), chunky knitwear layered over shirts and blouses, and midi skirts paired with autumnal knits and transitional footwear.
- The lookbook also covers leather jackets, wide-leg trousers, a turtleneck dress, a utility jumpsuit, and a plaid shirt as additional autumn staples.
The Oversized Blazer Does Double Duty
Josie opens with what she treats as the anchor piece of the whole lookbook: the oversized blazer. Thrown over a t-shirt or sweater with denim jeans, it reads casual; swapped onto trousers, the same jacket turns into something office-ready. That’s the point of the exercise — one garment, two entirely different outfits, no extra shopping required.
Layering Knitwear Without the Bulk
The second formula is about texture rather than warmth alone. A chunky knit sweater goes over a blouse or button-down shirt, adding visual dimension while keeping the silhouette from turning shapeless. It’s the same layering logic you’ll find in other seasonal roundups, including 70’s Fashion Trends We’re Still Wearing in 2021, where mixing decades-old knit shapes with modern cuts is the whole trick.
Layering is key when it comes to transitioning your wardrobe from summer to autumn.
Midi Skirts, Tights, and Ankle Boots
Josie’s midi skirt look pairs the skirt with a sweater or shirt, then finishes with ankle boots — tights get added once the temperature actually drops. It’s a formula built for versatility: swap the top and the footwear and the same skirt covers a chilly commute or a dinner out. The video treats footwear choice as the real seasonal signal, more than the skirt itself.
The Remaining Five Staples
Rounding out the eight are a leather jacket (worn with ankle boots or sneakers for an edgier finish), wide-leg trousers paired with a tucked-in blouse or sweater, a turtleneck dress that moves from heels to boots depending on the occasion, a utility jumpsuit styled casual or dressed up, and a classic plaid shirt worn alone or layered over a sweater with denim. Together they read less like eight separate trends and more like a capsule wardrobe for the exact six weeks when nobody knows what to wear. Readers looking for a men’s equivalent to this kind of formula-based approach can find similar logic in 10 Summer Style Essentials All Men Need.
None of these eight looks needs a special occasion — that’s the whole appeal. Pick a blazer, a chunky knit, and one midi skirt, and you’ve got the backbone of an autumn wardrobe before a single new item goes in the basket.
