Let’s be real: in-between seasons are tricky! You wake up and it’s freezing, but by lunchtime, you’re sweating. That’s where layering, mixing, and a bit of styling know-how come in.
And here’s the truth: you probably already have most of what you need—you just haven’t looked at it in this way before.
Today we’re talking about Transeasonal Style—how to stretch your wardrobe across seasons without constantly needing to shop. I will share with you FOUR CORE TRANSEASONAL STRATEGIES and how you can start using them right now!
4 CORE TRANSSEASONAL STRATEGIES
Let’s dive into four practical strategies you can start using right now:
Rework Summer Pieces
Let’s rework those summer staples into chic, transeasonal outfits that you can throw on and feel instantly pulled together—without the fuss. Here’s a tip with a stylish edge: Take that summer dress and layer it with a denim jacket, blazer, or even a fine knit underneath. Add ankle boots and you’re autumn-ready. The best part? These combos are stylish, comfy, and quick to throw on. Because let’s face it—mornings are hectic, but your outfit doesn’t have to be.
Mix Seasonal Staples
Style doesn’t have to be seasonal—and it definitely doesn’t have to be stressful. With a bit of layering, smart accessories, and a few go-to formulas, you can turn your wardrobe into a year-round toolkit that works as hard as you do. Think t-shirts under knits, knits over dresses, or a long-sleeve top layered under a sleeveless blouse or jumpsuit. Don’t be afraid to clash textures—linen with leather, cotton with wool. Autumn’s rich tones and cosy fabrics are perfect for grounding those lighter summer pieces.
Maximise Your Layers
You don’t need a whole new wardrobe for the cooler months. You just need to rethink how you layer. Layering is your secret style weapon—not only does it keep you comfortable when the weather is all over the place, but it also helps you stretch the pieces you already have across every season. Revisit your jackets, boots, and scarves. These aren’t just cold-weather items—they’re style tools. Even a basic blazer can transform an outfit and add warmth.
Identify Your Power Pieces
These are the go-to items in your wardrobe that make you feel confident, comfortable, and like you—no matter what season it is, or how many things are on your plate. They’re not always flashy or trendy. In fact, most of the time, they’re simple, reliable, and versatile. Think: your favourite high-waisted jeans, that one black blazer that makes you feel like a boss, or the comfy knit that somehow works with everything. Once you’ve identified your core pieces, the trick is to build around them.
Often, just one or two new items (like a trench coat or a knit in your colour palette) can make your wardrobe feel fresh and complete.
ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS WHEN SHOPPING:
- Does this fill a gap?
- Can I wear it at least 3 ways?
- Will it work across multiple seasons?
I hope these tips have helped you shift your mindset when it comes to getting dressed—and reminded you that you don’t always need more, you just need to make the most of what you already have.
By identifying your power pieces, mastering the art of layering, and learning how to mix seasonal staples with ease, you’ll be able to create outfits that work hard for you—through every season, every weather change, and every chaotic morning — because being a mum is busy enough, your wardrobe shouldn’t have to be as well!
