At the end of every Full Monty I ask a series of questions on snapchat and the above is one of them because it tells you something about their personal style.
So which one are you? I want to cheat and say I’m both, but I think, while sitting right now in a pair of my fave denim cut offs, winter still wins. There are more clothing options and there’s more to wear all at the same time (this is the real reason let’s be honest). You’ve got the hats, the scarves, the jackets – oh the jackets, the coats and the boots. God, the boots! Winter is the Olympics of layering but it’s basic too. Hide inside a killer coat and you are out the door.
Summer is about being effortlessly lightweight. It’s an off the shoulder shirt or a classic slip dress with endless supplies of cool sunglasses to compliment (and also hide behind). Your skin glows and breathes with less make up. Strappy sandals and heels get rotated in and the heavy weight of your coat is finally gone.
. . .
I hate to say it (or do I) but soon we’ll be in that heavy coat again so let me ask:
Which one are you? A Summer or Winter person?

Definitely summer.

I feel like that when in the Caribbean!
Jacqueline Clem says:
I love the wools and plaids and knits of winter, but I think
I’m really more a summer person. I like wearing less and summer clothes just seem more fun than winter clothes.

Karen Blanchard says:
Me too actually. The faux furs I love the MOST. I know what you mean about the fun of summer clothes too. I think it’s because its more about decorating the body almost versus being warm first and foremost.

Winter all the way. Grey gloomy skies, fallen leaves, wind, rain..all of it! I just feel more alive in the autumn and winter months. Day after day of heat and relentless sunshine makes me absolutely feel suicidal. I wear boots all summer long, though, if I feel like it.
Karen Blanchard says:
OMG suicidal!??? bloody hell. I will say I know that growing up in London that it’s the other way around: the long dark days and lack of sunlight for months on end leads to depression in many. I reckon seasons definitely are very personal in terms of preference and which we identify with – who’d have thought? I miss my boots and want to get back into wear them in summer too.

Winter reigns supreme! Ok, so I do like my toes out in my strappy sandals and gladiators and I do slink in a slip dress like no other, but there is NOTHING is this whole wide world like a chunky scarf and sweater under a fierce coat and topped off with sick headgear and some serious boots on the bottom! You just don’t get the same effect with layering your kimono with your cutoffs, do you????
Karen Blanchard says:
so well said! BTW what’s your email? I’d like to ask you a question! K xxx

Nancy Boykin says:
Winter definitely! I am ashamed to say that I have around 80 vintage winter coats!

Summer for me, vitamin D is good for my soul. I really don’t like feeling the cold 🙁 Plus I find dressing for Summer quicker and easier in the morning and im more likely to go out in the evenings and weekend, than stay in and hibernate in my clothes with dressing gown over the top :p I think I just need to start flying South for Winter 🙂
