Summer may be winding down, but Suki Waterhouse is here to remind us that transitional style doesn’t mean ditching your warm-weather favorites just yet.
Spotted in London’s Notting Hill on July 31—with an orchid in hand for that effortlessly chic touch—the singer and actress offered a creative take on seasonal crossover dressing. Her look? A brilliant study in contrasts, featuring satin gym shorts, sheer tights, and vintage cool all rolled into one.
Waterhouse chose a pair of deep burgundy track shorts with an elevated belt detail, styling them over sheer black tights—making a bold case for keeping shorts in your wardrobe rotation well into fall. The playful, layered pairing channeled the eclectic, experimental flair of Carrie Bradshaw.
Topping the ensemble, she threw on a vintage Levi’s denim bomber jacket over a slightly distressed graphic tee that looked like a souvenir from a well-loved concert. It was off-duty style done her way—nostalgic, edgy, and layered just enough to fend off the London chill.
Her footwear added another layer of intrigue. Waterhouse sported a sleek pair of red ECCO BIOM® Lite sneakers—part of a standout collab with designer Natacha Ramsay-Levi. The hybrid silhouette blends the elegance of a ballet flat with the structure of a minimalist runner, aligning perfectly with the current trend of “non-sneaker sneakers” redefining the footwear scene.
The final flourish? A hot-pink Matelassé Miu Miu bag, retailing at $2,950, injecting just the right dose of high-fashion glamour to her otherwise grounded, streetwise look.
Suki’s outfit proves that transitional fashion doesn’t have to be predictable. With the right balance of textures, layers, and statement pieces, you can carry summer staples into fall with style—and maybe even a little orchid in hand.
