The in-between season is officially here — that sweet spot where summer isn't quite over but autumn is already knocking. Transitional dressing is an art, and the secret is investing in pieces that work across both seasons without looking like you're trying too hard. Two new arrivals at Liel Designs are doing exactly that right now.
1. Quarter-Zip Mock Neck Side Stripe Midi Sweatshirt Dress
The sweatshirt dress is the transitional hero piece of the season — and ours takes it to the next level. The Quarter-Zip Mock Neck Side Stripe Midi Sweatshirt Dress combines the comfort of a sweatshirt with the elegance of a midi silhouette. The quarter-zip detail adds a sporty-luxe edge, while the side stripe keeps it feeling current. Wear it with chunky trainers for a casual daytime look, or swap to ankle boots for an effortlessly cool evening outfit.
2. Double-Breasted Cropped Jacket
Every transitional wardrobe needs a jacket that works as hard as you do — and our Double-Breasted Cropped Jacket is it. The double-breasted front gives it a tailored, polished feel, while the cropped length keeps it modern and versatile. Layer it over dresses, co-ords, or denim — it elevates everything it touches. This is the piece you'll be reaching for on repeat from now through to winter.
The Transitional Dressing Formula
Getting transitional dressing right comes down to three things: layering, fabric weight, and versatility. Choose pieces that can be worn alone on warmer days and layered up when the temperature drops. Both of these new arrivals tick every box.
