Look to dresses you’ve deemed season-specific and consider wearing them in the wintertime. With the right layers and accesories, you can wear any frock all year round. The key is to find new ways to wear pieces you already own. Before you pack away your favorite summer dresses, get creative with your styling to get more wear of items already in your closet.

Choose a classic carryall handbag in a neutral shade. It works for all seasons and with almost any outfit.
For a dressier occasion, like a holiday party, add tights and pumps. Throw a blazer over your dress, and opt for an envelope clutch for effortless sophistication. Add some glamour with statement accessories, like a cocktail ring and watch.
