How to Get a Head-Start on Wearing Your Summer Dresses in Spring
Are you frustrated that you can’t wear your new summer dress yet? Don’t be. Here are some inspirations how you can get a head start on your summer fashion. Of course, when wearing summer clothes in spring avoiding to catch a cold is key. Thus, layering is key.
There are two possibilities to create the right amount of insulation: Long underwear or warmer underwear than you would wear in summer. Like adding a slip or long Tee under a dress. This way you get the same looks like you will wear later.
How to Create Visible Layers for Style
The other possibility is the more stylish one: Visible layers. A major advantage, the looks are different from those you will wear in summer. Thus, you won’t fall so easily into a summer wardrobe crisis like the winter wardrobe boredom you try to escape from right now. Find stylish ways how to layer.
Tips to Style Summer Dresses for Spring
Of course, not all summer clothes are suitable to be worn already in spring. Here are my best tips what to try:
- Most casual or girly white summer dresses look great with a cardigan
- Check whether the vibe of the dress permits styling it with a baseball jacket, bomber or blazer
- Wear a white summer dress with black tights and a cardigan in a third color, repeat two of the colors in the accessories at least two times
- Wear a full skirt dress as a skirt with a sweater and scarf and belt the sweater for shape. Add booties and matching tight
- Wear a layering halftee or top under a short sleeve or sleeveless white sheath or A-line dress. Add matching tights and heeled oxfords or sandals
- Wear a retro style summer LWD with a motorcycle jacket, tights and booties
- Try a white lace dress with (black) tights, booties and a washed denim jacket.
The LWD in the photo above is designed for work with cool air conditioning in mind. Therefore, you can easily style it for spring. Just add colors that are more associated with the cold season than the mid of summer. For example, go for tan accessories, and shoes, or use pastels.
Can You Wear a White Summer Dress with Black Tights in Spring?
After half a year of winter, I am so eager for wearing my summer dresses again. The sheath cut of the dress allows styling it up or down. So why not for right now? The winter white goes well with denim and black tights. The leopard pumps repeat the black and their light base color goes well with the light jersey dress and denim jacket. You can also style summer dress for fall.
