Transitional Fall Fashion Pieces You Need

We’re here to talk about how to master the art of layering. Fall is all about transitioning from the sweltering summer heat to the cooler, cozier days, and the right pieces can make that shift both stylish and functional.

Here’s our tips on how to stay comfortable and chic with some of our favorite Rizzo's pieces. 

Start with the Basics

The foundation of any great layered outfit begins with basics. Think fitted long-sleeve tees, tank tops, or turtlenecks in neutral colors. These pieces act as a seamless base, allowing you to add on more layers without bulk. We always love a good band tee like this 1972 Blue Oyster one

The Hero: Knits

Knits are the quintessential transitional fall piece, and for good reason. They provide warmth without the heaviness of a winter coat, and they're incredibly versatile. Cardigans, chunky sweaters, or even lightweight cashmere pullovers can be layered over your base. This lightweight 90s Rizzos knit is the perfect base that  can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. 

Blazers & Jackets

Here at Rizzos we are all about a good jacket. They add structure to your outfit and can instantly elevate a casual ensemble. Think of tailored blazers, denim jackets, and utility coats that can be layered over your knits and base layers for a polished yet functional outfit. We love the embellishment on this one -- such a fun pop of color. 

Maximize Your Dresses

Don’t put away your summer dresses just yet! One of the best parts of transitional fall fashion is that you can continue to wear your favorite dresses by simply adding layers. We absolutely love this vintage 1970's one, the colors are perfect for fall and this is great base to layer with. 

From Your Head to Your Toes

Boots are the go-to footwear for fall, but all types of shoes still have their place during transitional weather. Ankle boots with a mid-heel are perfect for balancing style and comfort, while loafers can be ideal for warmer fall days. We also love playing with fall colors in footwear, like these Prada Loafers. 

Layering is your secret weapon for fall weather. Keep it practical but playful – Think of it as building your own masterpiece, one layer at a time. Have fun with textures, get creative with your combos, and let your Rizzo style shine through every cozy, chic layer!
