As people experience the seasons, they will have outfits for each season, for example, coats in winter and summer dresses in summer. It doesn’t make sense to wear a heavy coat in summer, and it’s not advisable to wear summer dresses in winter. Therefore, there is a growing appeal to prepare for colder or warmer weather, and dressing with that change in mind when going out for the day. We will explore some transitional outfit ideas you can put on in a whim!
As we can see, climate change is here, and it profoundly affects people’s lives. On one hand, the clothing you might choose or even need to wear. In the same way, your long-standing reliable wear, like winter jackets and heavy outerwear, may not suit their purpose anymore.
As a result, clothing manufacturers are adjusting their operations. They are attempting to change from producing heavily insulated, cold-weather gear and jackets, to producing midweight outerwear suitable outfits for multiple seasons.
Transitional Attire
Although each season has its distinct outfits, there are some outfits that you can wear in between the seasons. For example, a jersey is light enough for mild temperatures, but it doesn’t do well in either extreme.
The cold doesn’t come overnight; it transitions through a temperature drop, and your wardrobe should also transition.
Transitional outfits are perfect for those who have hectic schedules and are usually out the entire day and don’t have a chance to change their outfit entirely or can spare the hassle of carrying around a change of clothing. Here are some ways to style transitional outfits for a quick, hassle-free solution.
1. Light Turtlenecks
Turtlenecks are a fashion staple that can give you a classic or modern look. They are versatile. As you can wear them with jeans, a skirt, or a blazer.
A lighter material turtleneck or turtleneck vest (no sleeves), can be considered a transitional outfit piece.
Moreover, you can transition your summer dresses into the winter with a turtleneck layer. Use a turtleneck to add depth to your outfit, and remember to pay attention to your proportions. Unless you are an experimental dresser, always aim to pull off one style at a time: decide if you want a vintage, 90s supermodel, or modern chic look and stick to it.
2. Loafers or Mules
Another great example of transitional outfits are loafers. Loafers are comfortable, low-maintainable shoes. They are great for that in-between weather where you can’t wear sandals or boots. You can simply slip into them on your way out without the hassle of bending down to tie shoelaces.
Loafers are a functional fashion piece; once you have a brown, black, or beige pair, they can go with any outfit.
If it’s still warm, you can wear loafers with ankle socks or wear them with knee-high socks in chilly weather. They also go well with blazers for a casual or formal look.
3. Cashmere Scarves
Additionally, cashmere scarves can add luxury and style to any outfit. Cashmere scarves are unisex and versatile; you can wear them with a black woolen coat, classic trench, casual leather jacket, or denim jacket. Furthermore, you can drape it over your shoulders or style it around your neck when the weather gets chilly.
The beauty in a cashmere scarf is in how you tie it.
They have knots that can add layers to your outfit and make you look stylish. The scarves also come in various patterns and colors to have more than one for your outfits.
4. Windbreaker
Undoubtedly, windbreakers are a retro fashion item from the 90s. They are a lightweight, practical item for unstable weather. They can protect you from gusty winds, rain, or snow while making you look dapper.
Windbreakers are versatile and can go with any shirt, trousers, or jeans.
You can use it for layers, like wearing a hoodie underneath. Also, you can try the contemporary style with an oversized fit or for the luxe sportswear look with a slim fit. Not only that, but you can get them in various colors; the dark neutral solid colors work well for the smart, casual look, while the brightly colored ones work well for casual street style.
5. Transition Lenses
Another transitional outfit product you should look into are transition lenses. They protect your eyes as you transition from dim areas to brightly lit ones.
More specifically, they can protect your eyes from UV rays as you navigate a cloudy day turning into a sunny one.
The lens darkens as you step into the sun, giving your walk into the light some flair and protection. The technology is available and used in a wide range of glasses, so you can find a pair of sports sunglasses to fit your outfit.
6. Blazers
Finally, a blazer is a must have in your wardrobe! Blazers are a little looser than a suit jacket, often with stylized metal buttons, making it more suitable for casual outfits. The blazer usually has a solid color and contrasting button. They are quite versatile and customizable, making them work well with any outfit.
It should be noted that blazers are a prominent piece of clothing for a smart casual outfit.
For instance, if an event allows you to wear cardigans, you can wear a blazer to it as well. However, it can be too casual for formal occasions. You can wear it with a blazer, including V-neck shirts, white shirts, loafers, or chinos.
Conclusion
The weather may be confusing and unpredictable, but your outfits certainly don’t have to be. You can wear items that will work in mild or windy weather conditions. Or as we named them, transitional outfits. Style for the transition and never lose your flair or comfort by ensuring that you are prepared for any unexpected weather that may blow your way.
