Transeasonal dressing made easy

My undying love for Free People is no secret. In fact, if my friends were completing a quiz about me and the question of my favourite high street store came up, there would be no hesitation as to which brand they’d choose.

So why am I such a fan? Listen, I’m all for an elevated basic—and if you’re after the best high street styles in this category, I couldn’t recommend COS, H&M and Arket enough. But for a high-quality piece of clothing that feels both statement and timeless at the same time, Free People is always my first port of call.

Every Free People dress I’ve ever owned has gotten me more compliments than the rest of my summer wardrobe combined. And, when it comes to dressing for the awkward in-between weather as we cross over seasons, that’s where, IMO, the brand truly excels.

The Free People New-In page is making all my transeasonal dressing dreams come true. From cowboy boots and on-trend flats to elevated co-ords and easy-to-layer, lived-in linens, I’m feeling inspired to add some new pieces to my wardrobe.

So I thought I’d share my selections with you. While I’d happily add the entire new in section to my basket, I have managed to practise enough restraint to choose a carefully curated list of only 19 products. The best pieces to take your wardrobe from late summer into early autumn. Keep scrolling for the top Free People dresses, jeans, skirts and accessories to shop right now.
