Style That Lives Between Seasons

As the season transitions, so do our wardrobes. From breathable fabrics to layering and low-commitment outerwear, there are several factors to consider when dressing for somewhere-in-between weather. Transeasonal wardrobes should move seamlessly between different weather conditions, with a balance between lightweight fabrics and layering.
The shift from chilly winters to balmy springs, or scorching summers to crisp autumns, can often make for challenging outfitting, but new season styles from S/B/ transcend both trends and seasons. The fresh, ready-to-wear adaptability of S/B/ wardrobe staples are perfect for transeasonal dressing. These are pieces that do the thinking for you, mixing and matching with a confidence that feels natural. S/B/ inspires a modern way of life, outfitting a rich canvas of experiences that exist outside the office and between seasons.
Choosing Fabrics
Choosing the right spring fabrics can make all the difference for transeasonal dressing. Too thick, and late-in-the-day sunshine is likely to overheat, too thin and the morning chill will cause discomfort.
Linen was made for in-between seasons. Breathable and effortless, our Naomi Oversized Linen Shirt is perfect for unpredictable days. Crafted from 100% linen, this shirt has been made with a soft garment wash and an oversized fit – the perfect laid-back match for new season S/B/ denim.
For relaxed weekend style, the Lila Linen Detailed Pant has an effortless silhouette with an elasticised waist. Wear with the Lila Linen Top for a cohesive look.
Cotton is also an excellent choice for fluctuating temperatures. The Fleur Half Sleeve Tee is made with a transeasonal friendly half-sleeve and soft modal cotton blended fabric. This is the perfect basic for our Ava Cropped Wide Leg Jean.
The Best Base for Layering
Layering is the key to transeasonal dressing. A good base can make all the difference when it comes time to shed outer layers, and there’s no base more classic than a quality white tee. The Sabine Cape Sleeve Tee is made from premium cotton and modal jersey fabric. Wear tucked into the newly arrived Billie Denim Skirt for a spring ensemble that’s perfect for unpredictable weather. Billie is mid-length and crafted from premium European denim, with the breeziness of a slightly flared hem.
Another spring essential is the Fleur Tank. With a close-to-the-body fit, a scooped neckline and a button-down front, this is an ideal base layer.
Quality wardrobe basics and stylish layering is the answer to ‘just in case’ dressing – unpeeling layers to reveal an adaptability that feels natural, and outfits that are self-assured without being showy.
Blending Seasonal Pieces
Don't completely stow away your summer or winter pieces. Incorporate them into your transeasonal wardrobe by pairing together. For example, start with the Lila Linen Dress – a relaxed, unbound, casual piece designed to move through all your laidback weekend moments – with a tiered, sleeveless design, paired with a denim jacket or shirt like our Bridie Long Sleeve Denim Shirt.
Low-commitment Outerwear
For bring-a-sweater weather, choose low-commitment outerwear like light jackets and cardigans. Lighter fabrics and more relaxed fits are a better choice than heavy fabrics or thick coats for weather that’s likely to turn. Cozy, without the bulk, the Alba Longline Trench Coat has a calf-length hemline and adjustable belt, but is crafted from linen for a more adaptable solution to the chill.
The fearlessly adaptable S/B/ range is ideal for transeasonal dressing. With contemporary silhouettes that are reminiscent of timeless classics, you can encounter the appeal of function.
By investing in timeless pieces, embracing layering, and paying attention to fabrics and accessories, you can effortlessly transition between seasons in style. The key is adaptability and our weather-ready silhouettes are tailored, structured, and free from constraints.
