While I’m no longer in a “back to school” time in my life, there’s something about the first couple weeks of August that puts you in that mindset. It feels like a time to reset and reorganize ahead of the final months of the year, as well as a time to prep your wardrobe for the coming season!

It’s a time when retailers are marking down the old to make space for the new, and boy, is there a lot of new right now. While playing catch-up on some work last week I felt like I was saving fresh picks left and right, and it inspired me to put some outfits together! Below are eight elevated casual looks for the first few months of fall. Which is your favorite?
