Weekend Plus Desk :
Don’t just shove summer stuff into the hidden depths of your closet. There are plenty of ways you can re-purpose them during winter,
says an expert.
Shrestha Runthala, Myntra Fashion Stylist, tells you how to use summer clothes during winter.
* Sleeveless shouldn’t be shunned:
Make almost all sleeveless summer things cold-proof by wearing a turtleneck under them.
A turtleneck is to winter what a
T-shirt is to summer.
* Sweatshirts can save dresses:
If the idea of turtleneck doesn’t sit well with you, pull a cute sweatshirt over dresses to make them cold-weather friendly. Add tights to the look if the chill is gnawing at your legs.
* Skirts and shorts do metamorphose:
Though considered quintessentially summer, skirts and shorts can make a statement in chilly weather as well. Wear them with tights or
thigh-high boots and add structure
to the look with a jacket.
* Prints Peekaboo:
Even playful spring prints can be put to good use during this season. Wear them under pullovers or cardigans to add a hint of interest
at the cuffs or collar.
* Summer sandals stay:
We all love boots but that’s no reason to discard summer sandals. Wear patterned socks with
anything open or peep-toed.
* Try a turtleneck under a shift dress:
Trust us, a fitted black turtleneck will be your best friend through the bitterly cold season. You could stack a sweater and coat over it, layer it under a cute dress, or try it solo and tucked into
a maxi skirt for a formal occasion. n
