You know the feeling. Checking the weather on your phone as you wake up, seeing that it’s in the thirties, and dressing appropriately. Then, you walk outside during your lunch break to find that you’ve completely overdressed, and it’s a comfortable 65. We’re in that period of the year when this is an all-too-common occurrence; fully transitioning to spring is a difficult thing when the high and low temps vary wildly each day. How are you expected to properly plan your outfit when the season change is unpredictable? And what about that issue concerning the relationship between your wallet and a new seasonal wardrobe? Well, we’re here to offer you a solution: transitional dressing.
Never heard of it? Transitional dressing is a simple but underused concept. Essentially, it’s the act of dressing for the transition season in a way that is efficient and affordable. Most often, transitional fashion only requires your current wardrobe and a bit of creativity. Transitional dressing is the best way to tackle these wildly fluctuating daily temperatures without overspending. In fact, once you start searching, you may be surprised by the fashion statements that are hiding themselves in your closet! Today, we’re going to explore how it works.
What is Considered Transitional Dressing?
Generally, you’ll want to think of clothing that is defined by these two characteristics: comfortable and versitile. Keeping these traits in mind while looking for perfect transitional pieces will help you find the best fit. Remember: transitional dressing is all about saving money in a fashionable, practical way. So, what do these two attributes do for your outfit?
Versatile - Instead of making the dichotomous choice between shorts and pants, or long sleeves versus a tank top, your clothing should be wearable in plenty of different environments and situations. You should be able to wear your outfit to work professionally, but you should also be able to make small changes to continue wearing the outfit as you transition into your night out.
What kind of clothing constitutes each characteristic? Well, there are plenty of solutions. You’ll find that many of these are already hanging in your closet.
You can mix and match the articles in your wardrobe to see what works best for you. However, it’s possible that you won’t find what you need to create the perfect transitional outfit. In that case, Wylie Grey has the solutions!
