Recycling Summer Clothes


The transition from Spring/Summer to Autumn/Winter usually means that you feel the pressure to splash out on a whole new wardrobe in order to keep on top of the latest trends. There are many ways that you make the most out of your summer clothes by mixing and matching with new pieces in order to accommodate to the change in season, meanwhile creating a fresh new image. It also means that you won’t break the bank in doing so.

Pieces such as the maxi dresses and skirts that were massive in summertime can be brought forward into the new season. Instead of wearing maxis with sandals and sunglasses for a laid back summer’s day you can reinvent the look by teaming it up with chunky knits or blazers. This can either be worn with boots for a casual daytime outfit or worn with heels for a glam evening look.



The key to wearing summer pieces during winter is to add lots of layers. Shorts, whether it was city shorts, tailored shorts, denim shorts or leather shorts etc. were a major part of your staple summer wardrobe. This season you can take the opportunity to recycle your summer shorts by wearing them over chunky tights or socks with either brogues or boots in order to make your look more winter friendly. By adding layers such as long sleeved tops, blouses, cardigans and scarves also makes wearing shorts adaptable to winter.



Faux Fur

Faux fur wraps are huge for the coming season and can be worn with pretty much anything such as casual clothing and evening wear which is a great way to change or dress up any outfit.  You will find that most of the cardigans and coats on the high street come with faux fur collars attached to them. Faux fur wraps create a vintage feel, as they are timeless and have been in fashion for many decades.
