Welcome to Same Same But Different. As Gen Z and millennial vogue editors, respectively, we all know a factor or two about procuring—for all ages, and particularly our demographics. As we discover one of the best merchandise for you, we will’t assist however do some searching for ourselves and construct our private (age-appropriate) want lists. And now, we’re sharing them with you. Forward, take a look at what’s in our hearts and in our carts recently.
Dale Chong: One way or the other, I breathed and the top of summer season was right here. And whereas I do lament the sensation of lacking out on all that’s heat and carefree (my definition of the season, if you’ll), I can’t say I’m mad about fall looming. Possibly it’s the truth that I’m over the balmy, sticky, and exhausting warmth (my different definition of the season), however I adore it simply as a lot as I really like summer season. That mentioned, the transition between the 2—extra particularly, dressing for the transition between the 2—is a job that sometimes makes my head tilt. How does one type herself when the temperatures vary from the mid-60s to the 90s in at some point? Or when one is coping with the frigid A/C? Or, I don’t know, when one craves breaking out the lug-sole ankle boots however nonetheless needs to don her best camisoles and name it a day? Asking for a good friend right here, clearly. Any ideas, Meg?
Meg Donohue: I knew I couldn’t be the one one dumbfounded by how briskly this yr is flying by—glad to listen to you’re equally amazed. That mentioned, I’m extra miffed about fall’s early onset than you appear to be. I’ve declared (to nobody aside from myself) that this yr I’ll have a good time summer season till fall formally begins on September 23. I sometimes contemplate Labor Day weekend the top of summer season, however I merely haven’t gotten my fill of the season but. So I’m bringing summer season into September. Who’s with me?
DC: It seems we’ve a little bit of a standoff for this month’s SSBD.

I really feel you although; there is at all times a handful of weeks in September that really feel sweltering earlier than fall climate formally rolls in. Till then, I’m incorporating the autumn season with an autumnal coloration palette. In the mean time, that takes type on this sheer, textured high from Leinwande—which, to be frank, is just a little surprising for me. Mild sufficient to put on with out weighing me down, I’ll be throwing this over a knit tank paired with elevated denim shorts. Pair it with my new favourite sandals and a tiny shoulder bag and I’m good to go.
How will you be pulling all of your summer season wares into fall?
MD: To recap: you’re bringing fall into summer season whereas I stretch summer season by way of fall. I get it. It’s humorous you need to point out sheer tops, as a result of I’m pondering it’ll be a giant pattern in my fall lineup, too. For example, I’m obsessive about this black midi skirt I just lately picked up. You possibly can’t actually inform that it’s see-through except you see it in a sure mild or at a particular angle. I believe it’ll be key in my campaign to tug out each closing summer season second. The colour black won’t scream summer season, however exhibiting just a little pores and skin undoubtedly does. I’m additionally in search of summery silhouettes and coloration schemes in in any other case cool climate types. Lastly, you recognize I really like my wedge flip-flops, and I occur to assume they’re very well-suited for transitional outfits.

DC: I LOVE these flip flops; they make me consider some I had after I was in center college, and I’m pleased to see them make a return. And on the be aware of sheer vogue, I’ve to say, in my humble opinion, it’s the final transitional climate look. I imply, simply have a look at how sheer flats have been the unsung hero of the newest shoe traits!
I’d like to know what you could have deliberate for when the temperatures begin to drop. As somebody who can’t shut up about high quality knitwear, I’m keen to start out carrying my cozier sweaters once more. However, it appears it received’t be cooling all the way down to the 40s any time quickly. And as somebody who tends to be on the colder aspect (woe is me), I’m choosing a denim jacket I can simply throw on when the A/C is blasting. I’m taking the chance to include fall-esque equipment with my warm-weather staples. On this case, it’s a child tee (they’re all I’m at present carrying) and a slip skirt with snug, investment-worthy boots—and let’s be actual: chunky ankle boots are a staple it doesn’t matter what time of yr it’s.

MD: I hear you. September at all times has a couple of scorching days, and I plan to be ready with the proper Goldilocks outfit. All summer season, I’ve been enamored with this brief playsuit that may be dressed up or down. (I’ve even worn it on hikes!) As a result of it’s black, it’ll section seamlessly into autumn types, however I additionally envision reaching for this striped button-down to put on as an open-faced layer. Dua Lipa flawlessly showcased how this shirt will be worn for summer season, however the strains between late summer season and early fall are blurred, so I believe I’ll be capable of match it to September’s crisp, preppy vibe.
Lastly, I do know I’m being a little bit of a renegade right here, however I vote we maintain onto the crochet pattern just a bit whereas longer. Summer season by no means fails to see raffia and straw luggage galore, and why ought to that finish after Labor Day? Name me loopy, however I’ll be utilizing my favourite knit tote all through September. Care to weigh in?

DC: Regardless of my campaign for fall vogue now, I’m admittedly a fan of embracing summer season traits for colder climate. Crochet is a good instance. I personally really feel the identical concerning the vogue “rule”—which, let’s be sincere, there aren’t any guidelines in vogue nowadays—about not carrying white after the September vacation. I’m additionally a fan of fall and winter whites. Sue me!
