Dress Between Seasons

Seasons come. Seasons go. In between their coming and going, what do you wear?  The changing seasons can effectively make it difficult for you to find the right dress because the weather can become rather unpredictable. You could never predict whether the bright sunshine warming up your face right now will turn into a rather weepy, wet, and cloud-covered sky in a few minutes. Yet, despite the weather’s unpredictability during the changes in seasons, you can still remain stylish. In this article, you will learn some tips on how to dress between seasons.

Dress according to season. If you are at the tail end of one season and are about to enter into the next, make sure you are ready for the coming season. So, as winter begins packing up, you should do the same to your winter clothes. You will not need your dark-colored boots, hosiery, and thick turtlenecks for spring or summer. In their place, you can wear brown or tan boots together with dresses that are appropriate for the coming spring or summer. To keep the balance, wear a sweater or blazer on top of your new spring clothes.

Wear clothes in layers. Three layers should be enough. Wearing more than three might keep you too warm for comfort during spring or summer season. For the innermost layer, you can wear a tank top. On top of it as second layer, you can wear a sweater. As your outermost third layer, you can wear a jacket. Never wear three shirts in layers. It will be very warm and uncomfortable. Worse, it can make you look foolish. Make sure that you wear at least one layer that is structure (for example, a knee-length coat or a blazer). Stick to neutral colors, if you can. You can wear clothes with colors from the same family, but be very careful about going overboard. Contrast can create a really visually pleasing effect on your layers. You can also try mixing and matching fabrics. Silk or cotton, for example, looks perfect with cashmere.

Show your skin. Especially your legs. Save the stockings and socks for rainy days. Show how wonderful your bare legs look by wearing flats (e.g., ballet flats) that have true soles and heels. Avoid wearing flats that are sole-less or heel-less, as they actually look like slippers. Under inclement and rainy weather, you can wear rain boots, but do step into real shoes once you get out of the rain.

Thin your cover. Thick covers such as winter coats are ideal for winter. For spring and summer, go for the thinner covers. A safari-style jacket is as perfect a cover as a waist-cinched trench coat. If you want to look updated with your cover, you might want to try the sixties-style A-line coats that are becoming popular these days. Such coats look nice on top of trim pants and little dresses.

Prepare for rain. A richly colored umbrella hanging from your arm won’t do much damage to your look. In fact, it may just complement your fashion style while keeping you armed for unpredictable rain.

Seasons may come and seasons may go. Let them. Your fashion sense still remains, although with some minor adaptive adjustments.
