For example, in summer I wears cotton trench coat, in winter I try woolen trench coat and in fall I use leather trench coat. In summer I mostly wear shorts,skirts but in winter I avoid it mostly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-style-persona-change-depending-on-the-season#post-1008709 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 04:07:25 +0000 Mo 1008709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually had to really stop and think about my style descriptors because I knew I dressed differently in FL than in Tahoe, but still like 'me'. &nbsp;I found the elements that run through both styles, although they do present themselves differently by necessity of fabrics, etc.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Streamlined (not ALGO)<br />Hardware<br />Repetition (of shapes or colors)<br />Fitted (figure defining in some way)<br />Texture</p> <p>and recently added&nbsp;Drape </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-style-persona-change-depending-on-the-season#post-1008706 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 04:01:11 +0000 Anonymous 1008706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a good question. I think it's mostly colors and amount of structure that changes. In the summer I wear more brights and more loose, draping. It is also the time I wear cardigans more than jackets because they are easy to carry for A/C. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-style-persona-change-depending-on-the-season#post-1008701 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 03:52:57 +0000 Nicola 1008701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Isn't it fun? I still stay true to myself somehow, but each season seems to bring out a different side of me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-style-persona-change-depending-on-the-season#post-1008613 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 00:50:16 +0000 Lisa 1008613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get more boho in the summer, because I feel that's what is in bulk in the stores at that time of year.&nbsp; In winter months, I wear very few colors, again I think it's because I often see black, greys and blues in the stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-style-persona-change-depending-on-the-season#post-1008541 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 20:53:11 +0000 CocoLion 1008541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to go more Boho style in the spring and summer. &nbsp;I probably do, to some extent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-style-persona-change-depending-on-the-season#post-1008508 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 20:15:48 +0000 jayne 1008508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, it sure does...was just wondering about that myself since they seem so different</p> <p>spring-summer is feminine and preppy and a bit sporty in navy and white with pops of red and sour green/lemon</p> <p>fall is rocker chic (I hope anyway) with black, burgundy, forest, aztec prints and copper</p> <p>I go from wedge chunky sandals or preppy loafers/brogues to black and more black boots.</p> <p>Obviously a split personality here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-style-persona-change-depending-on-the-season#post-1008464 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 18:03:50 +0000 Anonymous 1008464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a good think about this and I think I feel like Suz, in that my persona stays the same but different aspects of it shine through at different times of the year. Mind you, as I have eclectic in my descriptor I do have a lot of room for manoeuvre. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-style-persona-change-depending-on-the-season#post-1008441 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 17:20:41 +0000 cinnamon fern 1008441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm definitely more boho in summer and more minimalist in winter. &nbsp;This is partly a response to the rhythms of my job, though - I am teaching and going to meetings September through May, and working from home all summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-style-persona-change-depending-on-the-season#post-1008436 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 17:16:25 +0000 Suz 1008436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think my persona changes, but the mode of expression does! I definitely wear more skirts and dresses in spring/ summer -- so look more feminine, I guess. I also wear somewhat different colours. Same general cool palette, but I wear more berry/ wine/ plums in fall and winter and more blues in different hues in summer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-style-persona-change-depending-on-the-season#post-1008303 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:39:17 +0000 ManidipaM 1008303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To an extent, yes. I become more androgynous in the rainy seasons--pants for ease of puddle jumping and easier laundering than knit leggings. In summer, I am more classic or minimal, with simpler shapes to avoid becoming a puddle myself. Winter is for layers and gathers, more emphatically gypsy than other seasons. Festive autumn can also make more of a magpie of me, depending on social circumstances. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-your-style-persona-change-depending-on-the-season#post-1008294 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 10:48:50 +0000 Irene 1008294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just realized, mine does.<br />I am a sailorish/classic girl in Spring, with loads of navy, cream and red and ballet flats, who becomes a floral girly girl in the summer with plenty of floral fit-and-flare colorful dresses and cute sandals. In the Fall I either go for a bohemian vibe or stick to well-fitting shirts and skinnies, achieving a very stream-lined and polished look. When it's cold in Winter, I go all 90s with neutral shades, oversized jumpers, flannel shirts, dark jeans and tall black boots. </p> <p>Does this happen to you too, or do you adapt your seasonal needs to your style persona? </p>
