For me, fashion is deeply connected to time, and time is marked by the changing seasons. Each season brings different weather and moods, so I have to adjust what I wear accordingly. But for me, planning a wardrobe isn’t about replacing everything when the seasons change. It’s more about adapting what I already have by layering, coordinating, and reimagining my pieces. Layering is really at the core of how I plan for the seasons. A simple shirt works as a lightweight base in the summer, but in colder months, it becomes part of a layered outfit. I use jackets, coats, and cardigans to extend the life of my lighter clothes, and scarves, hats, and gloves add warmth without me having to get rid of anything. I love the flexibility layering gives me because I can add or remove pieces throughout the day depending on the temperature. When I think about history, I realize this idea isn’t new. In the past, when people had smaller wardrobes, they depended on layering to adjust to the weather. They combined undergarments, overcoats, and accessories in different ways to stay comfortable. Modern fashion still follows this idea but with many more styles and cuts to choose from. I also like how clothes can be reimagined for different seasons. Dresses I wear in the spring can easily be paired with heavier coats in the fall. I can wear skirts with tights, and switch from sandals in the summer to boots in the winter with the same trousers. These small changes let me create new looks without buying a whole new wardrobe. I pay attention to the rhythm of fashion cycles too. Designers often release collections before spring or autumn that focus on versatile pieces and layering options. These collections get that seasons don’t change overnight, so we need clothes that can transition gradually. For me, planning my wardrobe also means knowing which items are my anchors. Coats, blazers, and trousers usually stay the same through many seasons while accessories and layering pieces change more often. Having these stable pieces helps me build a flexible and functional wardrobe. In the end, adapting to the seasons is not about having more clothes but about using what I have in creative ways. By understanding layering, reimagining pieces, and relying on anchors, I can create a wardrobe that flows smoothly through the year. To me, fashion is not only about expressing personal style but also about being in tune with the natural flow of time.
