"Even though fall is right around the corner, we still have most of steamy August to trudge through (plus those balmy September days). So, yup, you still have to keep wearing those summer clothes and, if you&amp;#x27;re like us, you&amp;#x27;re SO sick of it all. But luckily, we have these super-chic fashion designers to consult for strategies on how to refresh your summer wardrobe in style. Rachel Zoe Rachel Zoe clearly knows what she&amp;#x27;s talking about. Not only does she design her own clothing line as part of her fashion empire, she still has her day job as queen-bee stylist to A-list red carpet stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Hudson. So refreshing her summer wardrobe must be a breeze. Rachel says: &amp;quot;Transitional pieces are everything, and layering is key. You can&amp;#x27;t go wrong with mixed-media jackets in lightweight bodies with edgy accents. Find one that you love and wear it over your favorite T-shirt, jeans, and gladiator sandals for a summer night. In fall, layer it with a gauzy cashmere cardigan, your favorite leggings, and moto booties.&amp;quot; Rachel Zoe London Trench, $695, piperlime.com Jodie &amp;amp; Danielle Snyder of Dannijo If you couldn&amp;#x27;t already tell by Jodie Snyder&amp;#x27;s impossibly chic Great Expectations-themed wedding, she and sister Danielle have an innate sense of inspired personal style. (Seriously, follow the girls on Instagram just to check out what they&amp;#x27;re wearing. So many cute dresses.) Which is probably why their jewelry line Dannijo is a favorite of the coolest of cool downtown girls and the members of the model contingent, like Hilary Rhoda and Brooklyn Decker. So we think we have an idea of how they&amp;#x27;d suggest making your summer-wear fun again. The girls say: &amp;quot;Accessories are the best way to get you through any season. For summer, we&amp;#x27;d say #putabibonit!&amp;quot; Dannijo Selima, $920, dannijo.com; Etta, $375, dannijo.com; Medine, $495, dannijo.com Michelle Smith of Milly Milly designer Michelle Smith has such a lockdown on whimsical summer prints (still dying over those adorable elephant shorts she designed for her Banana Republic collab), we wonder if she&amp;#x27;s really devastated that the season is almost over. Not quite. She says: &amp;quot;This is why I love pre-fall&amp;amp;#8212;it&amp;#x27;s that short but sweet season between light and airy summer clothes and tons of layering. One of my favorite looks for this time of year is what I call &amp;quot;the new suit&amp;quot; &amp;amp;#8212; a couture tweed jacket with leather details and shorts from the same material. You can wear these two pieces together or mix them up. I love that they&amp;#x27;re colorful but versatile&amp;amp;#8212;the jacket can be worn separately with jeans or a dress, and the shorts can be pared down with a silk blouse, crisp button-down, or simple T-shirt. There&amp;#x27;s no better feeling than buying something that works with every single piece in your closet. Who doesn&amp;#x27;t love being able to make eight outfits instantly?&amp;quot; Milly Harper zipper jacket, $595, piperlime.com; Milly Malhia couture tweed and leather shorts, $325, nordstrom.com Shoshanna Gruss of Shoshanna Girls flock to Shoshanna Gruss&amp;#x27; self-named line for the prettiest, flirtiest dresses and swimsuits&amp;amp;#8212;especially in the summer. But we&amp;#x27;re kind of wondering what other tricks the New York City-based designer has up her sleeve to kick up her end-of-summer style. She says: &amp;quot;Add a fun twist to your favorite pair of printed pants by pairing them with a complementary pattern. I love a classic striped top in neutrals paired with a playful abstract floral pant, such as, our Brandis tab-waist style.&amp;quot; Shoshanna Daniela sweater, $125 from $250, shoshanna.com; Brandis tab-waist pants, $165 from $330, shoshanna.com Whose advice will you follow? Which piece would you wear to refresh your summer wardrobe? And be honest, are you as sick of your summer clothes as we are?
