As the summer months draw to a close and the unpredictable autumnal weather starts to creep in, it’s a good idea to get your autumnal outfits organised. Transitional wardrobe options ensure you’re always prepared even if there’s an unscheduled heat wave or an unexpected downpour. Here we have some top tips and fantastic high street suggestions to help you plan ahead and enjoy your time out on the course without having to worry too much about what the weather forecast is saying.
Layer-Up
The simplest way to build transitional outfits is to layer multiple thinner items so that you can adjust your look whilst on the go. Matalan have some fantastic 2in1 sports tops whilst Marks and Spencer’s sportswear range includes some brilliant fast drying, layered sports vests which are stocked in an extended size range. If you need something a little warmer, Sweaty Betty’s After Class sweatshirt will add comfort and the additional thumb holes will help to keep your hands warm too. Creating a capsule wardrobe of lightweight layers will give you the flexibility to mix and match outfits in autumn that can then be incorporated into your summer and winter wardrobes too!
