Are you a winter or summer dresser?

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?

I would love to dress for the summer if the summer weather could be consistent.

SecretNutellaFix · 07/08/2011 16:49

Winter. I like feeling "dressed"

Winter.
Give me corduroy, chunky knits and boots anytime.

Give me dark red, purple and green. Long sleeves, tights and a wooly hat.

I love summer when it is proper sunny, a nice dress and a tan is lovely. but wardrobe wise I'm more of a winter dresser. I have so many coats and pairs of boots. I buy coats each year but usually every 2 or 3 years I will spend more on a really good one, I always get the wear out of them for a good few years. also I love hats

I too am crap at summer.
Just come back from a week on the Algarve having agonised for days about what to take.
I braved my body in a bikini for the first time at 51.....nobody screamed or ran away.
I love my boots, thick tights, layers, scarves......I feel very exposed in summer.
And as usual I have come back paler than I went due to the ST Tropez I had last Friday. Smile

Favourite weather for the best outfit is sunny and crisp, so I can where a big, plush, thick scarf up to my chin but not a coat.

Winter, winter, winter!

Love the season, hate the heat of summer and the cheap, skimpy clothes.

Even when I was size 8 I preferred winter clothes.

Thehusbandsatcricketagain · 07/08/2011 20:01

winter all the waaaayyyyy,I love jeans,chunky jumpers,skirts with wooly tights,boots (long & ankle) & jackets,with scarves & a hat :o

YouDoTheMath · 07/08/2011 20:04

Although I should add that in summer I LOVE maxi dresses...

dearprudence · 07/08/2011 20:12

Winter, definitely. Dresses and biker boots. And scarves. And jackets. Oh yes, definitely winter.

I used to prefer summer colours, and lighter dressing but age has mellowed me. Now I love winter dressing - I need the coverage and have come to love subtle colours.

Balconygarden · 08/08/2011 06:37

Winter! I love thick tights and leather boots, scarves, a nice winter coat, thick knits, and jersey dresses. I also love winter fabrics - velvet and tweed, and the colours - gray, plum,etc. I love being able to have bare legs in summer, however that doesn't make up for the sheer stress that I connect with summer dressing!
