Sunset Hour: The End-of-Summer Looks We’re Living For

There’s something bittersweet about late summer—the sun still hits golden, but the breeze is starting to whisper fall. It’s the perfect moment to wear that outfit you’ve been saving, the one that feels like vacation and main character energy all at once.

This isn’t about packing away your linen and reaching for your sweaters just yet. It’s about making the most of these golden days with pieces that still say "summer" but hint at what's next.

1. The Breezy Set

Co-ords are still our end-of-summer MVP. Think matching shorts and button-downs in crisp cottons or gauzy textures—effortless and perfect for layering come fall.

2. Sunset-Toned Accessories

Burnt orange, honey gold, soft lilac—end-of-summer color palettes aren’t shy. Swap out your black bag for a buttery yellow tote or a terracotta clutch.

3. Strappy Sandals with a Twist

Yes, we’re still team open-toe. But lean into transitional styling with sandals in suede, metallics, or earthy tones that ground your look.

4. Maxi Dresses with a Fall Edge

Look for summer silhouettes in richer prints—think florals with darker backgrounds or linens in olive, rust, or navy. Add a belt or a cropped jacket and you’re halfway to fall.

5. Shades You’ll Wear into September

Oversized, colored lenses, retro frames—sunglasses are the easiest way to extend summer vibes (even if PSL season is creeping in).

These end-of-summer pieces are more than a final hoorah—they’re a soft launch into fall, where layers get smarter and shades grow richer. So before the pumpkin spice takes over, throw on that breezy dress, grab the strappy sandals, and take one more golden hour walk.
