Don’t want to pack up your summer clothes just yet? Just because winter is on its way doesn't mean you have to start packing up your favourite floral dress or your denim cutoffs. Extend the lifespan of your summer wardrobe with these styling ideas.

Shorts and skirts

Wear your shorts and skirts with tights, knee-high socks or thigh-high boots so you won't have to worry about your legs bearing the cold. For tights, toss on a sheer pair with a cute pattern like hearts or polka dots or try a pair of thick leggings to get a bit more coverage.

Dresses

There’s no reason all of your dresses need to go into storage when autumn settles in. Re-style your maxi dress with a fitted blazer or toss on a chunky knit sweater or sweatshirt and belt it at the waist for a casual look. Also, go back in time and wear a thin turtleneck under your dress. For florals, try pairing a leather jacket, black tights and ankle boots to take the look from summer to winter.

Sandals

Don’t let go of your strappy sandals! All you have to do is dress them up with tights or patterned socks.
