As a SoCal native, I dread this time of year. While everyone is starting to swap out their summer attire for fall pieces, I can’t to do the same unless I subject myself to a sweat-filled day.

This seasonal transition period is always tricky to navigate, so if you’re someone who wants to partake in the latest fall fashion trends but are struggling because it’s still hot AF where you live, these warm weather fall outfits are for you.

There are only so many summer pieces you can wear on repeat while just waiting around for it to get chillier. But while we can’t escape the heat, there are ways to dress in fall outfits during warm weather to to achieve that cozy aesthetic—even when the 90-degree temperature says otherwise.

 Wide Leg Jeans + Quilted Jacket + Heeled Clogs 

Don’t let the jacket fool you—this look is versatile enough for those end-of-summer days and chillier nights. You can complete this look with a quilted patterned jacket (that screams fall) at night, but during the day you can opt out of the jacket and rock a casual tank and jeans moment. This look wouldn’t be complete without a pair of heeled clogs, which are going to be the ultimate statement piece this fall.
