How to wear your summer favorites all year

Get the most out of your summer clothes when the season changes

Summer seems too short when you have pieces you love, but the season is ending, and it's time to transition your wardrobe. Wait, don't store those summer dresses and cropped pants so soon. Let's talk about how you can wear your summer favorites all year to get the most out of your summer clothes when the season changes.

Our wardrobe is more revealing in summer because we want to stay cool, so we purchase sleeveless shirts, shorts, maxi dresses, cropped pants, and sandals. Our arms and legs are out more, and it's cute, but it doesn't have to be a wrap for those items when summer ends. Let's start with using your sleeveless shirts under your blazers or cardigans. You can also wear them with a long sleeve button-up or a turtleneck underneath.

Wear your favorite shorts with tights or an over-the-knee boot, and the same with your mini summer dresses. When the weather is nice, pair your mini with a boot, opt for a bare leg, and throw a long coat over your shoulders.

With a calf-length or thigh-high boot, your long maxi will rock in fall and winter. You can wear them with a blazer or long coat on top, a sweater, or even long sleeve turtlenecks underneath. Take a summer piece into fall and winter by making slight adjustments, maximizing your wardrobe, and improving cost per wear.
