Do you wear more pants or dresses in colder weather?

I love dresses but I've been leaning more towards pants and riding boots.What about you? What do you do with summer items to make them "work" in the winter?

I love dresses and boots so I do a good mix of both dresses and pants. I winterize dresses with sweaters, jackets and fur vest. Sometimes belting the jacket or the sweater. If you're interested I have some examples on my blog....

Usually it's pants, but I am trying to wear more skirts this year, with tights and boots during the colder weather. I especially like the fleece lined tights, and I find I am not any colder than I would have been with pants on.

In winter I wear mostly pants, but I am making an effort to wear dresses/skirts more often. One of the main problems was that I never seemed to have the right footwear. I did not own any boots, I had difficulty with heels (fussy feet) and my flats did not look good with dresses/skirts. I am trying to mend all of this. I have made a little progress already.

I'm loving dresses this winter, which I haven't done since I was about 20. I only have a couple of dresses so far, but on the lookout for more. I wear the dresses with booties, so I am still as comfortable as if I were in pants.

To make them work in winter, I choose dark-colored tights and matching booties. I also sometimes pop a cardigan over, belted on top of the cardigan looks neat. And I also like a pullover sweater on top, so the dress looks like a skirt at that point. Have fun experimenting and see what you like!

Dresses more than before. I am flying across the country on Saturday and plan to wear a summer skirt--above the knee sheer ink blue with white polka dots, with an ink blue sweater top, ink blue tights, black knee high wedge boots and black leather moto jacket. With--I hope this doesn't sound cringe-worthy--a baby pink flannel scarf. I am absolutely loving this skirt for winter, never would have worn anything like this in winter before this season.

I wear jeans as soon as it cools down because we have such a long hot summer. I have no desire to stretch my summer clothes by wearing them in the winter, it's more like the other way around, lol! The last few summers I've worn skirts exclusively for months on end, so I wear my jeans while I can.

I just keep wearing dresses, but layered and with thick tights. Today I'm wearing a wool sweater dress with a thin long sleeved tee under and a cropped cardigan on top, heavy ribbed tights and suede booties.

On the coldest days, I have to wear a layered dress with long yoga pants as tights. (I live in a very cold climate). Otherwise, I must wear nylons or leggings under my pants which is a feeling I just can't stand - it makes me feel so puffed up.

But generally, pants.
