Transitional Style Starts Here: Wardrobe Wins for August & Beyond

Wow, how is it August already?!

The time is flying in—but they do say that's what happens when you're having fun, so we’re good with that! ☀️ But don’t let the slow slide of summer stop you from feeling your best though. August might bring the odd drizzle or a cooler breeze, but it’s also the perfect chance to enjoy your wardrobe in a new way.

That’s where transitional style comes in—those clever wee tweaks to your current wardrobe that help your favourite summer pieces stretch into early autumn. If you’ve been with us a while, you’ll know we believe that quality clothing should work hard for you—day after day, season after season. Whether you’re easing back into routine, navigating changeable weather, or just ready to shift into the next season (not that we're chasing away those last days of summer!), we’re here to help you dress with ease and comfort.

So, this month we’re showing you how to get more wear from what you already own, how to style for in-between weather, and why choosing well-made pieces really pays off. Think: effortless layers, thoughtful textures, and clothes that make you feel like you—even as the seasons start to shift.

We get it—this time of year can be tricky. Mornings feel fresh, afternoons are still warm, and by evening you’re wondering where you put that extra layer. It’s that in-between season where getting dressed can feel like guesswork.

And if you’re anything like us, you’re not quite ready to let go of the pieces you’ve loved all summer. The good news? You don’t have to.

Here are a few easy ways to make your summer wardrobe work harder—without sacrificing comfort or style:

1. Light Layers

A linen dress? Just add a soft knit or a shirt over the top. Lightweight cardigans, denim jackets, or a sweatshirt thrown over your shoulders, are your best friends right now.

Layer up your summer linens with a lightweight jacket

2. Ground the Look

A simple change like switching sandals for boots or adding a scarf can make a big difference. It instantly gives your outfit a more autumnal feel without fully diving into cold-weather mode.

3. Mix Your Palette

Start introducing some warmer, deeper tones (try Seasalt) —think rust, navy or olive—while still keeping those fresh summer whites and neutrals in the mix.

4. Care for What You Love

A gentle wash, a good reshape, folding instead of hanging—these small acts of care help quality pieces last longer and feel better wear after wear.

5. Add with Intention

If you’re looking to fill a gap, now’s the time to pick up a versatile layering piece or transitional trousers. Our latest drop is full of timeless, well-made pieces that pair beautifully with your current wardrobe.

So whether you're holding on to late summer or quietly embracing the shift, there's no need for a full wardrobe overhaul. A few smart tweaks and quality pieces will carry you through.

See What’s New at INIS or pop in and we’ll help you style it your way. We’re always here to help you find clothes that feel good, wear well, and fit your life—no matter what the weather's up to.

Happy shopping,
