August is a weird but beautiful in-between moment. It’s still hot, but something in the air feels… different. The sun sets a little earlier, your iced coffee doesn’t hit the same, and your brain starts whispering “fall vibes?” even though you're still sweating.
Welcome to the season of becoming. A mini transformation. And your closet? It’s evolving too.
Here’s how to style yourself through this golden hour of a month with fits that feel as transitional, intentional, and effortlessly cool as August itself.

1. Layer, But Make It Light
August is moody. One second, it’s blazing hot, the next there’s a chill in the air. Your best move? Lightweight layers you can throw on or take off depending on the vibe.
Style inspo:
A linen button-down over your fave crop top
A slouchy cardigan with biker shorts (hot girl cozy)
A silky scarf tied as a shrug for that artsy edge
A soft, tailored two-piece top & bottom
✨ Pro tip: Oversized = comfort + aesthetic. Always a win.
