Can you believe that summer is already half way over? School starts back in a month! Which means it is time to start thinking about fall. Hand In Pocket is here to help you pick out the best transition pieces that will blend into your summer wardrobe and that you can continue to wear into the cooler fall months ahead.

A fun patterned short sleeve silk top like Collective Concepts shown in the first picture above can be worn now with caged heels and distressed shorts or ankle peg jeans. Then, when the weather begins to cool, wear the same caged heels and your favorite pair of jeggings (denim leggings).

A mini skirt like MM Couture’s shown in the second picture above can be paired with a tucked in lightweight blouse during the hot summer nights, then in the winter layer it with a chic blazer and pull on a pair of ultra slimming Spanx tights and tall sexy boots.

A light weight sweater vest like MM Couture’s shown in the third picture above can be worn now with a tank and boyfriend shorts or cropped jeans, then in the fall it can be layered over a long sleeve top paired with skinny jeans and ballet flats.

For spring and summer 2010 the top denim trend I believe everyone should follow are cuffed jeans. Pegging or rolling your jeans is classic and can truly contribute to your outfit if you follow a few HIP tips. First, make sure to wear stunning shoes when you roll your jeans because they become the center of attention. Second you need to make sure you keep proportions in control. J Brand recommends three inchs from the top of your ankle but if you are taller you may want your cuff a bit higher.

This trend is great too if your jeans are always too long when you first buy them. It is also saves you some time and frustration when deciding whether to hem your jeans for flats or heels because pegging allows you to wear them with both.

Check out the cuffed jean styles currently available at Hand In Pocket above.

AG Tomboy in Tone ($185), MM Couture Top in Salmon ($48) and Elise M Rosie Hip Waist Belt in White ($48)

The oversized comfy boyfriend look everyone began to love last year has returned with a vengeance for the warmer months ahead. For Spring 2010 the boyfriend style includes the classic tailored button down in white and blue, plaid, loose fitting tees, oversized cotton blazers and slouchy cardigans. To make this loose, lazy-day look feel more polished, pair any of these tops with sleek, fitted jeans and cuff them if you desire.

The boyfriend style has also shown up in women’s shorts. This year shorts are longer and have a higher rise, which makes them perfect to tuck your top into and show off a stylish belt. The jean dubbed “the boyfriend jean” or the “the ex lover jean” has been revamped and given a slightly more tapered style while still keeping them comfy, casual and cool.
