August can be bittersweet for some. It’s typically the last month for family vacations, afternoons spent lounging poolside, and summer Fridays. The good news, though? You can start planning for fall in all its crisp, cozy glory. Days soaking up the sun are traded for low-key weekends at the cabin or trips to a new hiking trail. As such, you’ll need some new wardrobe staples to see you through the upcoming season. As it happens, the August fashion news has no shortage of chilly-weather collections and collabs — because designers are just as excited for autumn as you are.

If you’re not ready to splurge on a fall boot quite yet, why not start with a cool kick? Tory Burch has you covered in the footwear department, as the luxury label just launched its new Field Sneakers, which have a retro feel thanks to its low-profile silhouette. Or for those who never miss their morning stroll through the park, On’s new Cloudzone Moon sneakers will be a real game-changer. Co-designed by Zendaya, the silhouette has forefoot padding and a breathable mesh upper. On the clothing front, Halfdays’ fall collection just dropped, and it’s chock-full of cold-weather outerwear and layering pieces.
