Every year, the first symptoms of cold weather appear just as we’re having a pedicure to match our beautiful new on-sale summer sandals. But, as principled women, we’re not putting away our sundresses and denim cutoffs just yet; instead, we’re resolved to wear our summer things in January. Ladies, it’s layering season, not cuffing season.
If you spent a paycheck or two on this summer’s It-items, it’s time to wipe the sweat from your brow, because’reduce, reuse, recycle’ extends far beyond your kitchen bin. Here are five ways to repurpose your summer staples for the colder months.
Tip 1: Invest in check
Layering in check items is an easy way to wear a summer dress in January without seeming like you’ve forgotten your suitcase and were forced to wear what you wore to the airport. An large shirt, pair of jeans, or check coat instantly transforms any look into a fall-appropriate ensemble.
Tip 2: Switch out sandals for knee-high boots
It doesn’t take much, but switching out your clunky sandals for knee-highs is the simplest way to update your summer outfit. Every woman is entitled to a decent boot!
Tip 3: Add a touch of suede
Suede is a versatile material that may be worn in both summer and autumn. Wear a suede jacket or suede accessories in brown to instantly change your summer maxi dress into a cool autumn ensemble.
Tip 4: Invest in an oversized blazer
You just can’t let go of that summer little dress? You may wear your summer dress in the winter with an oversized blazer, whether it’s short or long, patterned or solid.
Tip 5: Pair your mini skirt with an oversized cardigan
Combine this season’s two greatest trends, the oversized cardigan and the little skirt, for a festive fall style.
