Diana, Princess of Wales, remains an enduring avatar of faux seasonal dressing, as captured in early 90s paparazzi shots in which she wore oversized sweatshirts and bicycle shorts while heading to the gym.
“This spring, I predict a lot of people will mix in a tactical approach to feminine styles,” he said, “sort of like technical nylon jackets tossed over dresses, and tall rain boots paired with skirts.”.
That’s one way to dress for “faux season”, or the stray nice days peppered into winter that remind those of us with seasonal depression what the will to live feels like.
Think mid-weight corduroy or suede, two fabrics that are just too warm for summer, but not warm enough for winter – a real Goldilocks conundrum that’s just right right for fake spring.
If you can’t quite commit to the joys of completely manic, mismatched dressing, Drohan says there are more subtle ways to enjoy the weather: reach for clothes that have a “short seasonal window”.
