During this transitional time of year, I find myself reaching for fashionable pieces soft enough to curl up on the couch in, yet presentable enough that I wouldn’t panic if I suddenly had to answer the door. The problem is that early fall refuses to cooperate with my vision; one day it’s shorts weather, the next I’m digging around for an extra layer at 7 a.m. Still, there’s no need to overhaul my entire closet for this in-between season — instead, I’m hitting up Soma’s BOGO 50% off event, scooping up a few easy essentials to make the transition feel effortless.
The sale — which runs September 29 through October 14 — includes major discounts on select sleep and apparel, including lightweight knits, breezy layers and comfortable yet polished staples. Plus, with that buy-one-get-one 50% off offer, it’s a particularly good excuse to stock up on items I’ll inevitably want multiples of. Check out some of the best deals I’m taking advantage of before they sell out!
13 Soma Pieces to Make the Fall Transition Easier
1. My Favorite: This is the kind of lightweight jacket I want on hand when the weather can’t decide what season it is. Wear it open over a tank now, then button it up with jeans or trousers once mornings get cooler.
2. Runner-up: Wide-leg pants are my answer to wanting to feel dressed without sacrificing comfort, and this pair makes the case for wearing them around the house, too. The breezy silhouette works especially well on warmer fall days when heavier pants still feel premature.
3. Everyday Essential: A good cardigan is the ultimate ‘just in case’ layer, especially when temperatures can swing 20 degrees between morning and afternoon. This terry style is easy enough for lounging but polished enough to throw over a tee before heading out.
4. Best Basic: This is the kind of everyday top I can never have too many of because it works under practically everything. Tuck it into jeans, layer it beneath a cardigan or wear it with relaxed pants when you want to feel put-together without trying too hard.
5. Comfy Chic: These wide-leg modal pants have the easygoing feel of pajamas with a silhouette that looks considerably more intentional. I’d wear them around the house with a tank, then add a sweater and sneakers when I’m ready to leave the couch.
6. Layering Pick: When short sleeves suddenly aren’t cutting it but a sweater feels like overkill, this is the ultra-soft layer I want. It’s thin enough to tuck beneath jackets and cardigans without adding bulk, making it an easy fall transition piece.
7. Polished Pick: A lightweight duster is one of those pieces that instantly makes an outfit feel more fall-ready without requiring a full seasonal wardrobe switch. Pair it with jeans for the weekend or dress it up with wide-leg trousers for a more polished look.
8. Weekend Favorite: For the days when leggings feel too sporty but jeans sound wildly uncomfortable, a polished jogger hits the sweet spot. The relaxed shape makes it ideal for travel, errands and lounging without looking like you never changed out of your pajamas.
9. One-and-Done: A comfortable dress eliminates the whole ‘What goes with what?’ problem in about five seconds. Throw on sneakers for errands, or boots and a cardigan when you want it to feel more fall-appropriate.
10. Cozy Layer: This is the kind of effortless cardigan I want draped over the back of my desk chair because I know I’ll reach for it the second the AC gets aggressive. The open front makes it easy to throw on over everything from a tank to a long-sleeve tee.
11. Travel Hero: If there’s one wardrobe category I want to be comfortable in, it’s travel pants — because sitting on a plane for hours is not the time to test the limits of rigid waistbands. This pull-on style gives you the polished look of trousers with a much more forgiving feel.
12. Fall Starter: For those first genuinely crisp mornings, a lightweight jacket is much more useful than hauling out your heavy coat too early. Toss it over practically any outfit for an extra layer that still feels appropriate for the season.
13. Easy Layer: The ribbed texture makes this feel a little more elevated than a basic tank, while the lightweight construction keeps it versatile. Wear it solo now, then layer it under sweaters and jackets once fall finally settles in.
