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.

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.

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.

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!
