Summer's Over, and We're Not Okay.

We've officially entered that awkward phase where it's too chilly for your favorite sundress, and it’s too early for your soft fur coat.

Let Mean BLVD guide you with some transitional style tips that will keep you looking hot when the temperature drops.

#1 The Transitional Dress

When it comes to dresses, the mix-and-match can be a little tricky. Too summery? Nope. Too wintery? Definitely not. We're going for 'effortlessly chic in that in-between weather' vibes. Think mini dresses with a denim jacket, or lace top with a mermaid skirt.

#2 Layering 101: The Art of Not Looking Like a Stuffed Sausage

Layering is key, but nobody wants to resemble a Michelin Man. Think of your outfits like a delicious parfait – layers of textures and colors. You can play it fun with the denim-on-denim look and a hint of summery flower embroidered top.

#3 Pants That Aren't Sweatpants, But Just as Comfy

We're not saying you have to ditch your beloved loungewear entirely, but let's try to elevate things a bit. Wool, velvet, or even a good pair of dark-wash jeans will be a thank-you letter from your legs. Crafted from luxurious ribbed velvet, Giang Cocoon Wide Pants from our new collection will turn heads on the street.
