5 Ways to Dress Between Seasons

Navigating the unpredictable swings of spring and autumn can be a style challenge. You know the scenario: donning that summer dress just as the rain starts pouring or layering up only to discover it’s a warm 24 degrees Celsius by midday. 

We’re all experiencing this seasonal transition together, so let’s dive into some essential tips from Joe on dressing smartly during these in-between times, allowing you to showcase your style effortlessly from one season to the next.

Knitwear should be your go-to during these transitional periods. Cardigans, for example, are not just cosy; they’re also a stylish addition that can elevate any outfit. On cooler days, a cardigan can provide that much-needed warmth; plus, when the sun peeks out, wearing it draped over your shoulders adds an element of chic elegance.

Jumpers are equally versatile. Whether you prefer fitted or oversized, they can be a stylish, comforting layer during cooler mornings or evenings. Wrap one around your waist for a grungy twist when it warms up, and pair it with boots for that perfect off-duty look.

Light jeans are invaluable for fluctuating temperatures. They keep you cool when it’s warm and comfortable when the breeze picks up. Experiment with different styles, like cropped jeans or capris, which are perfect for those days when the weather can’t decide.

When battling unpredictable weather, boots are a critical piece to have in your arsenal. Long boots, ankle boots, heels, or flats, the boot is your best friend. A great pair of chunky stompers looks great when paired with jeans and a graphic tee. Alternatively, pair it with a sundress, and you have a dynamic and edgy look at the drop of a hat! Adjust for the colder weather with some long socks or tights, and throw on a chunky knitted jumper for a bright spring look. 

Pumps go with anything, so ensure your spring pair is ready to go. They’re the perfect pair of shoes to throw on for any kind of occasion, so keep them handy!

In transitional weather, cropped jackets can be your best friend. They work well with dresses, skirts, and high-waisted jeans, helping to elongate your legs and maintain comfort regardless of the weather. For a touch of attitude, incorporate a leather jacket into your wardrobe. It’s stylish and practical for spring’s unpredictable climate, and it’s naturally waterproof.

Chilly mornings? Swap out the wool for a silk or satin scarf. It’s an accessory that not only wards off the morning chill but also stays functional and fashionable in warmer weather. And, should rain be on the horizon, a stylish umbrella becomes your go-to accessory. Joe Browns’ unique pagoda umbrellas are perfect for keeping dry or draping elegantly over your arm when the sun comes out.
