Editors elsewhere are already sorting out what carries a wardrobe from summer's ease into fall's first cooler evenings, and the guidance travels well to a town that keeps the same kind of calendar. Here the shift has less to do with temperature than with occasion — the pieces that work on a warm afternoon by the water and still hold up once the evenings turn crisper and the island starts filling back in. It reads less like an overhaul than a short, sensible list of things worth keeping in rotation through the hand-off.
