"Once, I thought a holiday was a chance to transform into a new version of myself, or at least an opportunity to dress up like 1960s fashion icon Talitha Getty," contributing editor Victoria Moss told British Vogue. "Is there really a need to fill a corner of your wardrobe with flashy, airy pieces you would never, ever wear to the local pub? In this climate? Maybe we're witnessing the death of the 'holiday look' in real time," she said.

In recent weeks, the practical 'Eurosummer' looks that have taken over my Instagram feed have strengthened her point: clean-lined tank tops, belted cargo pants, and relaxed shirts. The message was clear. If the clothes you wear on a sparkling beach are different from those you wear to your neighborhood park, do you really need to buy new items? For me—who found the gossamer resort wear that Jennifer Coolidge's Tanya wore in the drama The White Lotus oddly out of place—that was welcome news.

This isn't a story that only applies to holidays. In fact, the so-called 'multitasking' principle can be applied to a year-round wardrobe. Bought an embroidered dress inspired by Bella Hadid's love of the outdoors? Throw on a checked shirt and a suede jacket over it and pair with biker boots. You'll be fine through October. In winter you can layer trousers under the dress. And what about that T-shirt that reminds you of the days you were obsessed with Avril Lavigne? With loose jeans, a bomber jacket, and loafers, it becomes a perfect autumn look. See? You're getting the idea.

If you were already preparing to put Capri pants and slip skirts away in your wardrobe, pause. You can easily welcome autumn with the summer clothes you're wearing now. Get styling hints from the looks below.
