There’s so much to love about fall<\/a> and winter: the holidays, brisk outdoor activities, sweater weather<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>But having to pack away our favorite summer frocks<\/a>? That can be a major bummer. Spoiler alert: It’s absolutely possible to keep some of your go-t0 warm-weather pieces in rotation once temperatures start to drop. Ahead, we’ve got a few tricks for how to wear a summer dress in winter and fall.<\/p>\n

Spaghetti straps, short sleeves,<\/a> pale colors, and lightweight materials might seem counterintuitive to fall and winter dressing<\/a>, but the secret to extending the life of your summer dresses lay in the styling. Layering pieces<\/a>, outerwear<\/a>, and rich, fall-worthy accessories<\/a> can totally take some of your favorite warm-weather styles into cold-weather<\/a> territory. Extending the life of our wardrobe go-to’s and getting more bang for the buck? Yes. Please. Scroll on to see how we transformed a few of our summer dresses into fall<\/a>\/winter must-haves.<\/p>\n

1. Accessorize with Luxe Fall Extras in Dark Hues<\/h2>\n\"cream\n

It’s no secret we are crushing hard on prairie fashion<\/a> for fall. The western-chic<\/a> look has gotten an edgy upgrade this season and we’re here for all of it. A cream dress<\/a>\u00a0for autumn? Absolutely. By pairing this light, wispy frock with luxe textures and dark tones–in this case, applique contrast leather boots<\/a> and a croc-embossed handbag<\/a>–you’ve created an instant fall outfit. Don’t forget the sculpted gold hoop earrings<\/a>! Pro tip: Throw a leather moto or suede jacket<\/a> over this on brisker days.<\/p>\n

2. Warm Up with a Denim Jacket and Boots<\/h2>\n\"bronze\n

Fall is definitely denim<\/a> season and a jean jacket<\/a> will give new life to that satin<\/a> spaghetti-strap dress you loved over the summer. With suede mid-calf lace-up boots<\/a>, your flirty hot-weather favorite is ready for cooler weather, so no need to say goodbye for the season! For more coverage when temperatures dip even further, try layering a fitted tee<\/a> or bodysuit<\/a> under the dress<\/a> or add black tights.<\/p>\n

3. Layer A Turtleneck Underneath a Summer Dress<\/h2>\n\"floral\n

If we swear by any transitional outfit hack, it’s this one. Stock up on thin, long-sleeve<\/a> turtlenecks to wear under sundresses<\/a>, slip dresses, and more during the fall and winter<\/a>, and you’ll up your cold-weather outfit options significantly<\/em>. Hint: This styling trick also works with summer tanks<\/a> and camis, so get ready to layer up! For a cool-cute finish, throw on sneakers<\/a> and a structured bag<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

4. Throw on a Bomber Jacket and High Tops With a Floral Maxi Dress<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\"green\n

Those pretty long dresses<\/a> you lived in all summer? Yeah, you can wear them in fall and winter, too. Mashing up a pastel floral<\/a> maxi dress with a sporty olive green bomber jacket<\/a> and high-top sneakers<\/a> gives this girly staple a sporty, seasonally-appropriate twist. Long sleeves, closed toes, can’t lose.<\/p>\n
