Wearing Clothes Off-Season - Topic of the day 2/5/25
Do you wear so-called "off-season" clothes year round (shorts in winter, coats in summer, etc.)? Why or why not? Does the season impact how a particular item is styled or perceived

i own a pair of silk cargo pants and they are wayyyy too breezy to wear in winter but when i wear a thermal under it it definitely works
i'll wear linen shirts in winter bc i have warm layers on top
shorts can work if you the like tights thing underneath tho
p much dress appropriate for the weather outside or it will be goofy
i also like wearing wintery-knitwear (in terms on thickness) in the summer with shorts
this a good topic
how do they do in the summer time? pretty comfy temperature wise?
They are made for summer tbh, I wore them instead of shorts all summer
The wisconsin classic is shorts and a hoodie in the winter
Im not enough of a masochist
I used to rock unbuttoned shirts in winter and i cant imagine doing that anymore
Coziness beat coolness
awesome! i struggle with overheating and overstimulation in the summertime and i just don’t like to wear shorts anymore so i need to find pants like this so i can cope Lol. Do you remember what brand they are?
I live in the SoCal desert, so there’s a really nebulous sense of “in season.” I wear summer clothes into November, Fall-like clothes until March, and then back to summer
same in louisiana you get about 3 weeks of winter clothing and the rest of the year is fall/summer

appreciate you!!
sizing is all over the place. I bought a large but they were huge, but they've got an internal string that you can adjust them with to basically anything
This is why I’m trying to buy silk-cotton polos out of season and having no luck!
would also recommend looking into linen pants. i used to have a pair from RL purple label that did the same thing
i made a halfassed attempt last summer but i only went into stores and never shopped online and nobody had any big and tall linen pants
quarter-assed attempt even
Sweaters at the beach is my primary form of inspo rn so I like this too
yeah i often find myself bringing a cashmere sweater and wearing it over my shoulders so i can easily transition to afternoon-evening wear
Most of this was me trying to capture that vibe @gv
Living in NYC, I find the temperature to be a challenge since it's normally very warm indoors (I live in a 100-year-old building with one of those radiators) but winters can be cold outside.
So it can make sense to wear linen shirts in winter under layers, but something about it just feels wrong. It's like the texture and sheen of linen stick out. Especially if it's layered underneath a Shetland sweater or something with a tweedy texture like that.
I've found that linen-cotton blend shirts can work with knits in the summer. They're not too shiny or wrinkly, but still cool enough if I want to stay the right temperature indoors.
Also, sunniness can be more of a factor than seasonal temperature. I don't like wearing white/ecru pants on overcast days but I'll wear them in December if the sun is shining and it looks great.
i wear cords in the summer moderelty often if that counts
i wear jeans and long sleeve shirts all year lmao
and scarcely rotate by fabric, 90% of the time it ends up fine
Having lived in many climates....your winter may not be someone else's idea of winter. When I was in Florida, people wore parkas when it was 55 degrees. In Buffalo, you broke out the shorts as it popped above freezing.
Personally, I'll try to explore but will never knowingly make myself uncomfortable for fashions sake. I usually err on the side of dressing warmer than necessary, but strategizing so I can remove layers of needed.
