Are you a winter or summer dresser?

[madammecholet]

I am most defintely winter, yes sireee. I cannot stand all the flimsey material and flesh showing. I struggle. It takes me such a long time every morning, and sometimes I end up looking a right royal yummy mummy mess and a half. I long for Sept.

I am far far far far happier in jeans/long boots/jacket combo.

Am I alone?

No you're not. I hate the cheap, flimsy, revealing summer clothes but love the heavier quality fabrics and textures in the winter.

I'm with you, I much prefer winter. I look silly in flimsy, floaty things and don't have teh arms for short sleeves.

I am already looking forward to the temperature dropping so that I can wear jeans, boots and cardis

I look like a tarty barmaid in summer floaty dresses - I hate it.

Oh me too. I loathe summer, there is nowhere safe to put your bra straps!

Boots, jeans, leggings and a lovely wool dress. Much better :)

I like socks. In boots. And jeans. Definitely winter.

Winter winter winter. No summer clothes look good on me. I look like a transvestite who fell over and got two bloody massive balloons stuck to his front.

God how I long for those Autumn magazines/catalogues so I can salivate over knitwear and silky blouses and leather boots and wool scarves and....goes on and on and on......

My body is NOT designed for summer or summer clothing (hides big boobs, scottish blue/white legs, dimply upper arms) : (

Gilbonzo I AM SO WITH YOU on the the tranny thing. I think it may be a boob issue...they just somehow get in the way of style..

I actually saw my upper arms wobble in the wing mirror of the car this week as I was turning the wheel....

The shame. I am burning all my sleeveless tops.

I look shit in the summer. Do not suit flesh exposing clothes or lighter colours at all. Love, love, love September/October when I know I can wear dark clothes and boots for the next 7/8 months.

I live in Scotland,so just wear the same things all year

I prefer autumn/winter fashion. Boots and thick tights - delish! I love flip flops and sandals in summer but I struggle with summer fashion. If we had a guaranteed 3 or 4 months of hot weather I'd invest in some nice stuff, but because I know I wont get huge amounts of wear out of it I don't spend much and so don't love my summer clothes, really.

I'm an Autumn dresser - love Autumn and love all the Autumn fashion pages because of the pages of black and grey with the occasional bit of burgundy! Some v v bad orange and 70s stuff this time around though.

I intend to wear grey...lots of grey...and maybe a lace skirt.

Love winter clothes, loathe summer stuff. Need to lose my tummy fast though with October not far away - stopped b-feeding DTs in spring and weight now all in one place ... not a good look with knitted tunics etc!

Winter definitely! You know it's going to be cold so you layer up. In Summer what the hell do you wear without being cold/uncomfortable/looking like a knob.

I love autumn winter fashion, I actually get my legs out MORE in winter, they're good pins but so bloody deathly pale and I think fake tan looks awful, therefore all summer they're shrouded in maxi skirts/dresses.

I love 60+ denier tights with fabulous boots and a slinky woollen dress. I'm a Bootsaholic, I LOVE them. Love all my winter coats too and cosy snuggly scarves. Every summer i buy a load of cheap flimsy crap in the sales because I hate all the stuff I bight the previous year then promptly go off it again. Rubbish.

I have a merino wool/cashmere mix dress from M&S which is my favourite work outfit. late September I'll be in it, it's beautiful quality better than the H&M £3.99 vest i'm currently wearing

Millie - control pants will sort out your tummy for under tunics etc.

You're not alone. I love thick opaque black tights with dresses and I even wear them in the summer with cardi's. I love flat boots, berets and pretty scarves, nice coats and thicker dresses.

I can't wait for autumn. I don't mind the cold but I hate rain, ice and snow. I can't dress for those.

Winter, but I suspect most brits are. Easier to dress for a season that lasts about 7 months than for a season that lasts for a few scattered weeks.

minx I'm in an organic cotton skirt here......ARGHHHHHHH

anyone got the perfect knitted/winter dress they want to share....I am on the prowl... has to not be mumsy tho, preferably black...NO patterns.??

Gosh, I must be alone. I hate winter dressing, particularly wool and long sleeves.

I tend to buy lots of cardigans with 3/4 sleeves, wear opaque tights and carry on as I was in summer.

Not that I can really get away with short sleeves (bingo wings) but I just can't abide being having thick fabric on my arms.

I'm an Autumn dresser, I love Autumn clothes.
When it gets properly cold in winter, I just pile on layers of knits so it's not that stylish.
My spring clothes would be similar to my Autumn clothes but with less emphasis on leafy colours.
I don't put much effort into summer dressing. I have a few nice sundresses but the weather is only warm enough for them a few days a year here in Ireland.

Winter. Am crap at summer.
