Summer might be coming to an end, but style never sleeps. Navigating what to wear when you have to return to dressing up day in, day out, can be a constant source of stress — especially when there are school regulations in the mix. Enter: Devon and Sydney.

If you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe for the year ahead, the Carlsons have you covered. These ultra-comfortable essentials can be worn layered, separately, or together without sacrificing style. From the must-have bag and timeless footwear to our case collab that’s sure to turn heads, get ready with the girls to become this year’s style icon.

The Subtle, Super Sweet Sweat-Set 

If turning a ‘look’ everyday seems like an uphill battle after a summer spent in bathing suits, ease your way in with ultra-soft fabrics in feminine cuts. Go for foldover leggings (or capris if you’re feeling a lil Carlson-crazy), before completing the look with a jersey long-sleeve or asymmetric jersey top. Remember: being comfy doesn’t mean sacrificing style. 

The Ballet Flat 

Here us out — the ballet flat may feel like it’s been done to death (yes, it’s return was announced in summer ‘23), but its chokehold on cool girls around the world remains. Whether you do mesh, gingham or plain old leather, the ballet flat can be dressed up with a summer dress or down with low-rise denim. Truly, they do it all. 

The Transitional Dress 

Stretch cotton? Check. An appropriate length, and neckline (ugh)? Check. A print that feels both summer and fall? Check. Everyone needs a dress that fits, flatters, and makes you feel the best. Go for black or bright reds for a color palette that will take you all way through until Christmas (at which point, maybe layer with a sweater). 

The Quilted Shoulder Bag 

Okay, yes, we know it’s backpack season, but before you saddle up for another year with a plain canvas book bag, let us introduce you to the quilted shoulder. Lightweight, expansive and super soft, the quilted bag doesn’t dig in, so you can carry everything you need in total comfort. 

The Matching Hair Accessory

The claw clip is the superior hair accessory, but what if you could coordinate it with your outfit and your phone case? Enter: Emi Jay. Our new collab comes in two versatile colors – with clips to match! – in a warm weather-ready gingham print, so you can see out summer in style.
