Ways to style your summer dress and wear them throughout the year

Summer is in the air, and we love to wear those gorgeous, airy, and breezy fabrics, don’t we? But come winter, these easy and comfortable dresses aren’t what we opt for in nippy weather. 

How about when we say you can transition the summer dresses to something that you can wear all year round? Yes, we believe you can make a stylish statement using the same dress during both the hot sultry days and colder months.

Let us check out some great tips and tricks to style your summer dress all throughout the year.

Layer with a Denim Jacket

During the cooler months, you can layer your summer dress with a denim jacket for a casual and chic look. Opt for a cropped or oversized denim jacket depending on the style of your dress. Add ankle boots or sneakers to complete the outfit.

Add a Cardigan or Sweater

Another way to style your summer dress for colder months is by adding a cosy cardigan or sweater. Choose a cardigan or sweater in a contrasting colour to add a pop of colour to your outfit.

Additional tip: If you are wearing a bodycon dress, a chunky sweater will look out of place and is bad for your silhouette. Style it with a belt, but pull out the sweater halfway through to hide it. This way it will give an illusion of a top and skirt. You can complete the look by wearing thigh-high boots or ankle boots with stockings, dainty rings, earrings, and a bag that matches the colour of your boots.

Layer it with an Overcoat or Trench Coat

Layer the cute flowy summer dresses with a long over coat and thigh-high boots to protect your legs. If you aren’t a fan of long coats, try puffer jackets and sneakers.

Wear with a Scarf and Boots

The best way to keep the cold at bay is to accessorise with a chunky knit scarf. It instantly transforms your look into a boho-chic vibe and you can flaunt your summer dress with a colourful scarf and knee-high boots. Simply wrap the scarf complementary to your dress around your neck and you are good to go.

Turtleneck to the Rescue

When the weather gets chilly, you can layer your summer dress with a turtleneck sweater underneath it for a trendy and warm look. Choose a lightweight turtleneck in a neutral colour like black or white. Add ankle boots or knee-high boots to complete the outfit. Furthermore, you can accessorise with a chunky gold necklace for a fashionable look.

Wear with a Leather Jacket

For an edgy and cool look, you can pair your summer dress with a leather jacket. Choose a black or brown leather jacket that complements the colour of your dress and wear it over it. Add ankle boots or combat boots based on the length of the dress, to complete the rocker-chic vibe.

Accessorise with Statement Jewellery

Another way to style your summer dress throughout the year is by using statement jewellery. Choose chunky necklaces, statement earrings, or bold bracelets to add a touch of glamour to your outfit. You can wear a statement piece of jewellery with your summer dress and layer with other accessories like scarves, belts, or hats to create a unique and fashionable look.

In short, it is all about having fun while experimenting with different styles to make your summer dress versatile and wearable throughout the year. So, do not put the summer dresses away as soon as winter sets in. If you try any of these styles in the upcoming months, do not forget to tag us @Bestorified on Twitter and Instagram.
