Transitional tops
When the temperature drops, you don’t have to pack away your favourite summer blouses and cotton shirts. Layer a long-sleeve, turtleneck or thermal top underneath to make these pieces seasonally appropriate and make the most of your summer clothing throughout autumn and winter.
Transitional trousers
Jeans are one of the most versatile trousers, perfect for transitional dressing. Pair them with your favourite tops for a laid-back outfit this autumn, whether blouses, thermals or knits. Alternatively, pull-on and wide-leg trousers are comfortable and versatile enough for any transitional look, including casual and formal outfits for day or night.
Transitional dresses
Wondering how to wear summer dresses in winter? Layering is key. Add a pair of tights to make your cotton dresses autumn and winter-appropriate, or find chunky cardigans to wear with dresses. Alternatively, a knitted dress is perfect for the colder months, keeping you warm without compromising style.
Cosy knitwear
Knitwear is a must-have in your autumn-winter wardrobe and the ideal mid-layer for chilly days. Explore the collection of stylish jumpers and cardigans at Damart to update your transitional looks, whether you prefer neutral shades, bold tones or printed designs.

Stylish outerwear
Outerwear is another transitional staple, from light layers to warm winter coats. On mild autumn days, throw a lightweight jacket or cotton trench coat over t-shirts and blouses. When the temperature plummets, you might want to layer your look with a long coat over blazers and knits. Discover the range of jackets and coats at Damart to find timeless outerwear for any occasion.
Comfortable footwear
Cold weather accessories
Complete any transitional look and keep the chill out with cold-weather accessories like scarves, hats and gloves. These accessories are a must-have during the transition from autumn into winter and can add colour, print or texture to your outfits.
