I’m pretty selective about who I partner with, and truthfully, I say no to more collaborations than I say yes to. When Arach & Cloz reached out to me, I wasn’t familiar with the brand. So I did what I always do: I checked out their site, read a bunch of reviews, and looked closely at the materials and sizing.
A few pieces caught my eye, and I decided to give them a shot.
I ordered three that felt like they’d fit my style and be easy to mix into what I already wear. Each one felt better in person than it looked online. The fabrics, the fit, the versatility all exceeded my expectations.
If you’re like me and searching for transitional fashion finds that are actually worth adding to your wardrobe, these are a great place to start.
Here’s how I styled each piece and why they’re going to be go-to staples for transitioning into fall.
Mock Neck Sleeveless Sweater Vest
This sleeveless sweater was the biggest surprise of the bunch. It has structure without feeling bulky, and the wool blend is lightweight enough to wear now, even on warmer days.
I styled it with cream shorts and added a belt and simple black sandals for a clean, elevated look that instantly felt pulled together.
How I’ll wear it this fall:
Layered over a crisp white button-up with straight-leg jeans and loafers, or tucked into a midi skirt with ankle boots. It’s one of those pieces that makes layering feel effortless.
Cotton Blend Crochet Top
Crochet is still having a moment, and this top hits the mark. It’s breathable without being sheer and features a cute varsity-trim edge that lends it a sporty feel without looking too casual.
I paired it with my favorite Maeve Colette black pants and added espadrille wedges to keep the look late-summer friendly.
How I’ll wear it this fall:
With high-rise trousers and a light utility jacket, or paired with a blazer and mules for a casual workwear look. It’ll also be cute layered over a tissue turtleneck, too.
Lightweight Casual T-Shirt Maxi Dress
This dress embodies effortless style. The fabric has a nice weight to it – not clingy, not too stiff — and it skims in all the right places. It’s a no-brainer for busy days when you want a one-and-done outfit.
How I’ll wear it this fall:
Add a denim jacket, swap the sneakers for ankle boots, and layer on a cozy scarf when the temps drop. You could even belt it and throw on a long cardigan for a bit more structure.
Whether you’re updating your closet for the season or just want a few versatile, everyday pieces that actually work, these are great starting points for transitional fashion finds. I know I’ll keep reaching for them as we move into fall.
