    We put a lot of pen to paper when it comes to transitional dressing, and rightly so. The concept can be confusing, and a sartorial mood can be hard to pin down as the weather fluctuates between warm and cool. And so, we officially declare style rules simply don't exist for in-between seasons. Instead, use the weather as an excuse to get a little more wear out of your favorite late summer staples on a rare 80-degree November day or reinvigorate your wardrobe with your newly appointed autumnal pieces, like sublimely structured suede blazers, cozy knits, argyles, and tweeds. Ahead, some inspiration for the in-betweens.
