7 Ways to Style Summer dresses in Fall & Winter 2

Just because it’s cold out, you don’t have to pack away your summer dresses. Here is the good news, you can absolutely wear Summer dresses all year round, even when it’s snowing out—as long as you layer and accessorize them smartly.

Taking your summer dresses into fall & winter is all about clever layering. It’s about having fun with pieces you already own and experimenting to find new ways to wear them.

I’ve taken a floral sleeveless midi dress and layered it in 7 ways for Fall& Winter.

1. Add a Cardigan and Booties

Whether it’s a cropped chunky knit or long duster —cardigans are every girl favorite offering endless styling possibilities. They serve as a chic and practical layering piece, making it a natural staple for colder months.

2. Layer under and over

Tissue turtleneck sweaters are probably my favorite layering piece. They are thin, breathable, and easy to layer under summer tops and dresses. Finish the look with a long A-line coat and booties for a head-turning outfit.

Get more mileage out of your summer dresses and skirts by pairing them with opaque or sweater tights. They not only keep your legs warm and are a perfect way to add a hint of color to your outfit.

7.  Dress it up with Faux fur

There’s nothing like wearing a faux-fur-coat outfit in winter. It is not only the coziest jacket to wear all season long, but it’ll also dress up your outfits in mere minutes. Talk about a win-win. I love a good Bolero jacket for a chic and elegant look.
