One of the most noticeable of these changes is changes in one's dress wearing habits and wardrobe. For about three months of each year, seasonal clothes are stored and kept in closets to make way for the latest one. This can put a strain on one's budget. Clothes are segregated and only worn on a certain times, instead of all year round. Not only that, they can go out of style by the time you are ready to wear them again, at the right season.
As with the seasons, this situation can also be changed. What if summer dresses can be worn in the winter? Summer dresses are meant to be worn in the summer, hence the name, but with a little creativity and insight, summer dresses can indeed be worn out of season in the winter time.
Summer and winter, heat and cold: two opposing seasons, two completely different weather types. How does one reconcile the two? Simple, by layering up, warm weather clothing can be worn during the cold. This not only make your wardrobe versatile and season friendly, it also challenges you to make bold and interesting moves to let your inner fashionista shine through. You need not hide under bulky layers of clothing forced upon you by the freezing winter weather. Wear a little sunshine in your outfit by incorporating summer dresses into the mix. Here are some ways on how to wear summer dresses in winter.
Wear cardigans over your dress. Long ones cover the waist and hips to keep the body adequately warm, while open styled sweaters allow the summer dress to peek through. They give a fresh look to an otherwise boring outfit. For dresses with short skirt, keep your legs toasty and warm by wearing tights and leggings. The dull grays and blues of winter against the vibrant reds and yellows of summer create an eye catching contrast. For mono colored cheap summer dresses, patterned leggings may be worn as well to create the same contrasting effect.
The right summer dress over some dark colored jeans is a trendy way of showing yourself off. It not only drives away the cold, but keeps you in style as well. Paired with comfortable boots, this can be an everyday look and can be worn to class or errands around town. For a nighttime look, swap the boots with some high heeled ones good enough to last you for hours of clubbing. Bundle up in thick sweaters and coats while still showing off a vibrantly colorful sundress under all that clothing.
