In the past few days, the high street has suddenly turned. Have you noticed it? Whether you're shopping in actual brick-and-mortar stores or browsing online, everything is starting to feel new and a little more autumnal than it did before. The sales are starting to fade out and teeny tiny sundresses and bikinis are being replaced by knitwear, jackets and boots.
It may feel too soon for all of the above, so we've been looking into the perfect transitional items that will see you through each season without a great deal of commitment. One brand that has all of these not-quite-autumn-but-not-totally-summer items all wrapped up and trending already is ASOS. What the e-commerce giant's insiders are favouring out of the 2554 new-in items appears to correlate with how influencers and fashion girls are shopping the site right now.
We've noticed a few key items popping up that work now and will definitely work in a few months' time (as well as next year). Keep scrolling to see the ASOS buys everyone's trying to get hold of this month…
1. The Croco Mini Bag
This little guy has been getting so much airtime.
There are alternative versions from the brands ASOS stocks. This is our favourite.
2. Checked Smock Dress
We've tried this dress on and would recommend you size down.
It comes in a mini version if the above option is too much coverage for your liking.
3. This Chic Blouse
Our deputy editor owns this and always wears it with slip skirts and jeans.
This sage hue will still be popular come autumn.
A perfect suitcase packing option since the fabric is already crinkled.
4. The New Bold Printed Dresses
Not for the shy wallflowers out there.
This is a slightly different version of the now sold-out style Blair is wearing above.
Why now? Cow print is happening, people.
Even this tea dress feels more exciting than your average one.
