Summer Clothes You Can Also Wear in Autumn and Winter
A common habit that will soon be lost in history, if it is not already, is the change of wardrobe. Between climate change that, little by little, is erasing the different seasons, seasonal clothing makes less and less sense.
Careful, though – this does not mean that we won’t update our wardrobe, the best possible solution is to buy items that we can wear all year round. The key to saving money lies in shopping with a focus on reusable items and on skillfully reinterpreting the clothes we already have.
Shorts are the best possible example of a garment intended just for summer that also makes total sense when the temperatures drop. All you have to do is exchange the typical cool T-shirt and the flat sandals for a pair of long socks or some opaque tights, along with some calf-length boots, and the result is a pair of shorts that is as useful in winter as in summer.
One of those women who don’t dare wear shorts in the heat because the look is just too extreme? In winter the effect is much less obvious, so go for it! And as you can see, the same pair of shorts can be used to create a young, laid-back look and a more serious and night-time look.
Leggings are another of these dual-purpose items that can be worn just as well in the cold as in the heat. If you wore them in summer with a pair of Roman sandals and a strappy T-shirt, all you have to do for autumn is add a cardigan, a blazer or a trench coat, and for winter a coat or an anorak, and there you have it – the perfect conversion.
The same goes for dresses and skirts made of fabrics that are not specifically designed for the cold. Now that bright colours provide a bit of colour therapy when the heat has gone from the sun, eye-catching prints, floral motifs and fluorescent shades are also winter hits. Overcome their lack of warmth by layering them with garments that help them adapt to colder temperatures.
