Favorite dressing time of the year!

Anonymous

You all know I LoVe warm and hot weather May-October is my happy time! My very favorite time of the year to dress though is late summer, early fall. My Autumn colors are just right, bit it's still warm enough for sandals, sleeveless, and skirts- maybe a light topper in the early am.

What's your favorite dressing time?

Early fall for me ... When I'm not a puddle of sweat but also can wear toppers for style rather than to stave off hypothermia. It lasts about 4 days in Ontario but I do love it haha!!

For me, each season has it's particular delight. I love winter coats - soft faux fur, bright wool peacoats, long, glamorous faux shearling. And winter accessories are the most fun! But that first really warm day in late spring , when you can throw on a dress and run outside without socks or a sweater, heaven. Fall has the best colors for me, and all the lovely textures of velvet, corduroy, and cable knits. All the leather motos! And summer is the chance to wear different sandals every day, and a dozen graphic tees and shorts.

Which is why i have two stuffed closets! And a bit of a coat problem.

Late fall/early winter is my favorite. I like to wear jackets, leather, boots, mock neck tops, tights. I enjoy weather when I can wear a jacket all day and not feel too warm or out-of-place. I like to wear tights with dresses, so I wear dresses all winter and have more options for length with my legs covered. In the summertime, I like to stick with a midi length without tights.

Summer is my least favorite time. As a person who likes layering, I find it frustrating to put on one thing and be done!

I love Summer dressing. All the skirts and dresses, and fun shoes like espadrilles.

I would say Fall, not too hot, not too warm - I can wear shrt jackets - and it’s more in line with my personal inclinations… a little gloomy, lol. However, I’m rather enjoying my summer clothes right now, for once

Summer was always my favorite for everything, by a long shot. I loved being outside, feeling the sun, the occasional hot hot day.

Then came living in Florida, where summer doesn’t go away. Instead of crossing the street to be *in* the sun, I avoided it. Hibernated in AC half the year with summer SAD. It was very confusing for me.

Now I love it all. I’m so happy to be in a 4-season climate! My love of summer is back, & I once again enjoy carefree dressing in the sultry dog days of August. Snuggling up in cozy warm fabrics and layers in winter is fun. Springtime gets my pulse racing because you can feel the days getting longer. Fall is glorious, with beautiful light & colors, and I can indulge my newfound love of shorts with tights or just enjoy simple layering.

So I guess my favorite season is “change”. I like them all, wouldn’t want any of them to go on forever.

Fall! I love wearing jeans and a light topper.

Spring and fall. Not too hot and not too cold. Lots of possibilities for dressing in light layers, having fun with colourful scarves and other accessories and wearing various kinds of footwear.

My favorite time of the year is fall. It’s chilly in the morning, and warm in the afternoon. Obviously we have to layer. I like to be busy in the morning, and then laze in the hammock in the afternoon.

Our longest season is transitional in spring and fall. May can and does bring frost and the last snow. Summer can last until mid September, about 6-8 weeks total. However the climate is getting warmer each year. Less snow and not quite as cold. I keep almost everything out during the transition.

Summer!! Mostly because of the more fun activities that are on - and keep in mind summer is our holiday season as well as our vacation season.

But I enjoy a wool coat and boots in winter, and the delights of a fresh spring blouse, and a light wool sweater in autumn.

Not so keen on the raincoats and soggy feet that we can get here any time of the year!!

Hmm, that's a tough call. I love the rich colors and opulent textures of fall and winter clothes, but I don't always like the layering process. Maybe I'm just getting lazier. Summer dressing is easier because all I have to do a throw on a cute dress and sandals or sneakers and I'm good to go.

I like deep winter and high summer. Extreme weather dressing is the easiest. The in-between seasons are the hardest.

I like all seasons, except June-uary in Seattle.

Summer by a long shot. I hate cold, wearing puffers for more than 3 months straight. Winter comes and style leaves, for me anyway.

I don’t mind spring that lasts here for about a month or fall that is really pretty. But I want things to be straightforward - when temps are so that one must wear an outwear clothes. I dislike early fall and late spring for its huge difference between morning and afternoon temperatures. Drives me mad.

I love to be in summer weather the most, but Fall/Winter brings out more of my favorite clothing items: jackets and coats, boots and closed shoes, more layers, more options.

Christmastime specifically. I have a tendency to buy only the basics for myself and wear them out, so Christmas is an exciting time of fancy earrings, cozy sweaters and leggings picked out by the people who love me.

My all-time favourite season has always been Autumn/ Fall - I even wrote a poem dedicated to it at one point But I haven't seen the leaves change colour since 2014

I like summer when it's temperate (Mar-Apr in HK, May-June in the UK). Not a fan of the sticky, humid, subtropical typhoons/ rainstorms I'm currently experiencing, holed up in perpetual AC...

I am with The Cat - Spring and Autumn. On cool wet winter days I just rug up and high summer, it is whatever is cool and comfortable - in Spring and Autumn, I am usually a bit more stylish and deliberate in my fashion choices.

Carol makes a good point about festive dressing - I enjoy dressing up for Christmas and New Year celebrations too!

Holiday dressing is fun too I definitely prefer holiday dressing when it's warm enough to be coatless though!

True fall dressing is my favorite, followed by winter and spring. I’m all about jeans jackets, boots. I like covering arms and legs, and a little bit of layering. I’m not wild about summer — too much exposed skin, too sweaty and bug-bitten.

Fall/autumn for sure. I can wear all my blazers except my very light silk toppers, fall coats are a favorite, boots and booties, esp OTK and knee boots are great. Summer is my toughest season, I finally added some lighter blazers and pants which made the summer much more pleasant. Also I have a hard time finding summer tops and have a more limited number of booties that work. Spring is next, because it's very similar to fall and winter due to heavy footwear and super heavy toppers lower down, summer is last enjoyable clothing wise but from an enjoyment perspective it's spring, summer, fall and winter. I prefer the warmer weather now...

FALL. And yes, I'm shouting I cannot wait. Spring is inconsistent, summer gets repetitive and tiresome - as does winter. I do, however, appreciate living in a 4 season climate and couldn't imagine otherwise at this point in my life.

Love the summer but maybe that’s because a British summer has a variety of temperatures so isn’t just shorts and tee shirts weather all the time.
l get the love for Autumn too.l find any change from one way of dressing to another, that comes with the changing seasons ,exciting.

I'm still waiting for fall - until mid of October probably - lol.
Spring and early summer as fav seasons - not too hot but warm .
Fall seems to be short and sudden in CA - goes from hot mid day to cool nights ( gets confusing a bit ).

Anytime I can wear sleeves that cover my elbows, dresses, skirts, pants or crops, with sandals, and not be hot or cold. I prefer no third piece - except my one lightweight kimono like cotton jacket, which I wear over a tank top.

Summer! (for me it is June, July, August). The temperature is 30 deg. C and above.
I love warm weather because getting dressed is easy and no fuss. A breezy dress, pretty sandals and a bracelet. Done!

Fall for me too!
