Autumn and winter are such magical times if you live in a country with all four seasons. After a few months of heat and vibrancy, the calmer, cosier weather is perfect to slowly whine down and get into a more relaxed routine. Aside from the amazing weather that comes with the colder months of the year one specific thing to look forward to is the change in wardrobe. Your wardrobe will need a serious change to go from smaller more cooler outfits to warmer, larger and cosier outfits. Sometimes this may require to actually swap out your summer clothes and replace them with your autumn and winter clothes if you have a smaller wardrobe.
If you have a larger, walk-in type of wardrobe then this isn’t all that necessary. Even so, you might not want to keep repeating the same outfits year after year, because, let’s be honest, trends and styles change so quickly and an outfit that looked super chic one winter will quickly become out of fashion this season. And if you are one of those people who love to keep up with the trends and not fall behind, then realistically this can be quite an expensive endeavour.
I mean, think about it. Every winter or every simmer you have to buy a whole new set of clothes and the ones you bought the previous years will not be worn. This can be a little difficult sometimes and if you aren’t able to keep up, you might end up feeling bad. There are always little hacks in the fashion world that can help you in situations like this. Here are some ideas for you to explore if you’re ever in a similar situation.
Get Some Staples
One very easy way to tackle this problem is to invest in some real good staple pieces. Staple pieces of clothing are those items that you spend a bit more than your usual amount of money but the clothes last a long time and can be worn multiple times with various other clothes. Some good investments for autumn and winter clothes would be cashmere sweaters.
These are definite must haves in anyone’s wardrobe. Another must have is a good jacket; there is nothing more useful during the cold weather than a nice cosy warm jacket. If you have one black one potentially with a hoodie if you live in a particularly cold area then you are pretty much covered for outfits. Black goes with pretty much anything, so all you’ll need is to throw this on and you would have a complete outfit.
Shoes!
One thing you have to have in your wardrobe are some classic shoes for winter. These obviously include a good pair of black boots. Rather than getting many different shoes that are cheap and will be worn out after you wear them a few times, invest in a good pair of leather boots. These will keep longer and be so much more comfortable throughout. Likewise, make tiny changes to avoid having to throw away your entire wardrobe and redo it every season.
