It’s hard to believe summer is winding down, but if there’s one thing softening the blow, it’s the promise of breaking out fall fashion right around the corner.
Refresh your wardrobe with transitional pieces early, especially since Amazon is offering major deals on summer-to-fall staples. Included are mix-and-match essentials like crisp button-downs, breezy wide-leg pants, and easy travel-ready sets, an outfit formula we’ve seen on Martha Stewart and Jennifer Lopez. Looking for dresses with a bit more coverage? You’ll find plenty of midi and long-sleeve options in the mix, too.
Don’t wait for the first chill to swap your closet, as lightweight layers like cardigans, ballet flats, and shackets are ideal for wearing now and into the season ahead. Best of all? Everything’s under $50.

Mascomoda Long-Sleeve Midi Dress
Amazon
I’m not ready to pack up my dresses just yet. Instead, I’m reaching for long-sleeve styles like this $38 Amazon pick, which provides upper body coverage without feeling too warm. The design is smart for days when it’s chilly in the morning but warm by the afternoon — the sleeves can be rolled up, it’s not too short yet not too long, and it has layer-friendly buttons. Plus, the adjustable tie waist helps create a more custom fit.
Hotouch Waffle Button-Down Shirt
Amazon
Early mornings and late evenings are notoriously crisp, so a shacket is a practical solution. This shirt’s waffle knit fabric is simply cozy, and you can easily toss it over T-shirts and tank tops. Plus, the chest pocket adds a fun, yet practical touch.
“It is warm without being too thick,” a five-star reviewer shared.
Evaless Wide-Leg Pants
Amazon
When denim starts to feel too stiff, I reach for wide-leg pants instead. This $25 Amazon pair has a high-rise waist that feels structured yet forgiving, especially with the built-in belt loops. The pleats give the pants a more polished appearance, so you can wear these to the office or brunch, and the wide hem keeps things breezy. The 13 neutral shades (I’m a fan of the tan) make them easy to rotate into a weekly lineup.
