September is fashion’s limbo: too hot for full-on knits, too cool to live in linen. This edit is your cheat sheet for nailing late-September chic without overheating.
September is fashion’s limbo. It’s too hot for full-on knits, too cool to live in linen — and yet somehow you’re expected to show up looking like a perfectly styled Pinterest board. This is the season where you spot someone in knee-high boots at noon and think, “bold move,” while still refusing to let go of your white tank rotation. It’s the perfect moment to mix textures, layer selectively, and embrace pieces that hint at fall without demanding it.
The SceneStyled ‘Not Quite Fall’ Edit curates those transitional pieces that bridge the gap. Think leather jackets with unexpected detailing, skirts and trousers with structural twists, and accessories that punctuate every look.

Orangey-red leather jacket with lace-up ties at the sleeves. Textured leather highlights the construction while the cuff details stand out.
APOA | Falak Necklace
Gold-plated brass with Swarovski crystals, featuring a swirl-shaped pendant inspired by desert dunes. The minimal chain keeps the focus on the charm.
Double A | Tyler Leather Vest Red
Sleeveless red leather vest with rope ties at the waist and neckline. Adjustable cords allow for a cinched or relaxed fit.
