7 Easy Swaps for the Girl Who Hates Summer Dressing

Sure, at the beginning of every warm-weather season, there may be a few exciting purchases to compose a handful of outfits you just might be excited to wear in the coming months. But let’s be honest: For the most part, dressing for summer sucks. I mean, how much would you rather be layering to your heart’s content in the easy-to-dress-for, stylish and comfortable season known as autumn? The chillier time allows for leather jackets, ankle boots, dark colours and everything else a fashion editor loves.

Nonetheless, summer is here, and today we’re here to make it just a little easier (since reluctance can only get you so far). So if, like for me, summer dressing doesn’t exactly come naturally to you, consider this your guide to making it just a little more bearable. With some easy proposed “swaps”—seven, to be exact—we’ll have you feeling like your normal self all season, without making you sweat through all your favourite autumn pieces.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
