Complementing Colors

• While certain colors look one way in summer, they might not look the same during the winter. Pastels are difficult to wear during winter because of paler skin tones. Choose summer pieces that feature deeper colors rather than lighter colors. A jewel-toned colored tank top worn underneath a sweater or a darker-colored summer scarf transition well into winter wardrobes.
  
  

Layer Thin Fabrics

• Thin T-shirts layered over a long-sleeved shirt or underneath a heavier sweater are quick solutions to reusing summer clothing. Put a cardigan over a summer top to add warmth to your outfit. Many summer tops such as tank tops work well paired with dark jeans and boots when you add a warm, basic cardigan.
  
  

Accessorize

• Tights worn under shorter summer skirts add warmth. Many summer skirts or dresses feature bolder colors than winter skirts and dresses. Pair bold skirts and dresses with dark-colored tights to create contrast and refresh the outfit. Lower-necked shirts from the summer paired with a thick scarf are an alternative to wearing a turtleneck during the winter. Summer purses that do not feature summer patterns easily transition into winter use.
  
  

Go Bold

• Step up your style in winter by going bold. Wear shorts in the winter by layering them over a pair of tights or leggings and pairing them with boots. Layer the lighter fabrics of summer scarves with the heavier fabrics of winter scarves. Not only does reusing your summer clothes save you money, but it also adds boldness and contrast to your wardrobe.
