Anyone switched over their wardrobe yet to Autumn/Winter?

[JMAngel1]

Northwest here and the weather is definitely changing. Toying with idea of switching wardrobe over tomorrow - anyone else done this yet or are you still firmly in summer camp?
just got a bit frustrated today as could have done with my knee high suede brown boots to wear with wide legged mid length trousers so got me thinking, it could be time.
Not sure if I have the energy though for the big loft switchover!

Well it doesn't really work like that though.
Last house I had all my clothes, could get them all away easily. Just because I move I'm not going to get rid of all my clothes, am I?!
So technically I have too many clothes for my storage space but actually I have too little storage for my clothes.

And the issue isn't just for clothes it's for literally everything.

@Hungrycaterpillarsmummy it was so nice today! I went for a run and then sat out in the garden. Freckles are back!

I put my jeans on for the first time in several months. Was relieved they still fit.

It's not just about space and how many clothes you have. I don't want to look at a skimpy linen dress in January and it just crowds the wardrobe. I like to produce a 'capsule' for each season. I rotate out clothes. So some clothes from last winter, I've decided I don't want to wear this winter but will keep them stashed away because I still like them and I may want to wear them next winter. If I don't, I'll sell them.

I've switched but kept 3 summer dresses hanging for hot days. Will put them away soon.

I’m in the process of changing over. I don’t have a huge wardrobe space in lit bedroom so out of season clothes are in a guest bedroom.

To those that wear the same clothes year round - good on you if that’s your choice.

For me, my summer wardrobe consists of lots of linen, some brighter colours, lighter cotton fabric, sleeveless/strappy dresses, lighter jackets, etc. My winter wardrobe consists of heavier fabrics, darker colours (I’m not going to wear a light pink linen dress in December), cashmere, warm coats, etc. Heavier shoes, etc. Hardly going to wear a pair of sandals in January.

I don't understand this view that you can't wear white/cream tops or light pink dresses in winter. Why on earth not? Who said winter clothing has to be dark and drab?

I agree @onlythreenow. Lighter, brighter colours near my face really suit me. My summer clothes are made from thinner materials and are sleeveless and not warm enough for winter weather, so they get put away on the top shelf in the colder months.

Northwest here ... sunny and ~20°C this weekend.
I don't think the idea of a big seasonal swap over works in the U.K. More like a gradual demotion and promotion of items.

I wear most of my clothes all year round, but have got my chunky jumpers out of,
and packed my sundresses into, a drawer under my bed.

I don't actually have many clothes, some I've had years,trench Mac cashmere jacket nearly 40 years. The Cossie,shorts, skinny tops will go into the loft at some point. Depending on the weather. I chucked jeans on yesterday to pop to shop early. Took the dogs on the beach,shorts,it was 25c. SE, UK. I don't have any shoes,I have sandals, trainers, boots. My life is walking dogs, fields,woods, gardening, grandkids.

@onlythreenow Personally, I have no interest in wearing an above knee, short-sleeve lightweight cotton pink dress in winter. I would wear a heavier cotton long sleeve shirt though. Same with white, blue, etc.

I like the definition between seasonal clothes - warm, bright days vs colder, shorter days. Light cotton/linen/easy breezy fabrics and colours in summer. Heavier fabrics in winter, deeper colours, warmer jackets and coats, cashmere that would be too hot to wear in summer, boots and heavier shoes that would also be too hot be wear in the summer.

Of course there is some cross-over of jeans, shirts, some shoes and jackets but I think the majority of people have at least some seasonal clothes.

the majority of people have at least some seasonal clothes.

I've certainly got clothes for all weathers, but in the U.K. the seasons aren't at all sharply delineated.

SE here, it's cloudy, getting darker and cooler in the evenings, I've put away the sandals and summer dresses, it would feel odd to wear anything too summery now.

I like to wear sandals as long as possible as they are more comfortable than shoes itms but not in January

There seemed to be quite a temperature difference around just England yesterday. If was 7 degrees warmer where you are @nannybeach than where I am. It was jeans and wellies for me yesterday.

RampantIvy, I live just outside whats called the "sunshine coast",there was no sea breeze on the beach yesterday. We did have a long walk,I had jeans cutoffs shorts,was sweating like a pig,saw the occasional person wearing a padded jacket. Assuming you had 18c,then, I would not be wearing jeans or boots... course were all different. I have neighbours with south facing lounges who wear T shirts all year,and I feel quite ill indoors with them. It's way too hot for me. Maybe I should rent myself out in winter with the price of fuel.

Not the whole wardrobe, but summer dresses, shorts, vest tops, lighter jumpers get put away, and get replaced with long sleeve tops, thicker jumpers etc. Jeans, T-shirts, sweatshirts etc stay in the wardrobe all year round.

I wore jeans and a white cotton long sleeved blouse today and was boiling. It looks like Autumn but is still really muggy.

Assuming you had 18c,then, I would not be wearing jeans or boots...

Normally I wouldn't, but I went to an agricultural show and the field was very muddy.

However, 18 degrees is definitley not shorts and sandals temperature for me, so I would have worn jeans and socks anyway.

@DillyDilly - obviously there are some clothes which can only be worn in a particular season, and footwear is season dependant. However, I wear my linen dresses and tops all year round - I simply put a merino long sleeve top underneath, and a cardigan or jacket if it is really cold, and wear tights (which do not have to be black). I hate this idea that we should get into dark dull colours just because it is winter. We probably have more sunshine where I live, but I would have thought dull days are even more of a reason to brighten up one's clothing.
