A Warming Trend Creates Season-less Looks

As the season begins to change from summer to fall, many of us begin thinking of wardrobe changes as well.

Traditionally one would go through their closet and separate the fall/winter clothing from the spring/summer clothing. This closet cleaning ritual used to be a staple of ringing in the new season.

But as global warming continues to put temperatures in constant flux we can experience a variety of “seasons” in any particular month.

This is creating a need of season-less wardrobes which not only make for easier wardrobe building, but also allow your wallet to breathe easier by getting more longer use out of clothing.

Wall Street Journal reporter Teri Agins dissects this phenomenon in an article in today’s paper. The read will let consumers understand that the boundaries of fashion are fluid and different for each person depending on their geography and preference.

“The casual movement of recent years has also helped drive the trend, as jeans, a year-round fashion item that can be dressed up or down, have emerged as the workhorses in most people’s wardrobes. Turning a spring look into a fall outfit is as simple as layering on a sweater or heavier jacket.”

When shopping rather than getting stuck on seasonal looks go for what best fits into your existing wardrobe. Choose fabrics that can be worn year round and you will truly get the most out of your wardrobe.
