Now that fall has officially begun, the time has come to retire those jean shorts, T-shirts, and tube tops. Gone are the days of flip-flops and summery linen pants, as Berkeley’s weather transitions to foggy, overcast and occasionally rainy.

Instead, here are the items that will upgrade your outfits from slightly frumpy sweats to effortlessly chic and fall-coded, with just a few rotational clothing items in your closet. Curated for the sweaty uphill treks back from campus and dreadfully cold nighttime classes, let’s get this transformation started!
