Styling Tips To Keep You Looking Chic In This Transitional Weather

by MICHELE YEOH, ADDITIONAL TEXT CHERYL LIM   /   January 18, 2018

There’s no denying that the weather has been unpredictable and erratic lately; one minute we’re subjected to heat stroke-inducing thermal conditions and the next, we’re caught in thundery showers and braving gusty winds. The unpredictable weather has made picking out an outfit in the mornings a challenge. A sweater for the chill that is sure to come after a thundery shower or a sleeveless top for the sweltering hot weather that is sure to greet you when you step out of the office for lunch? Are peep-toe shoes a bad idea?

We no longer wish to sustain this whole ‘guess and check’ practice with the forecasted weather, which is why we’ve devised the perfect 5-step styling strategy to help us tackle these volatile conditions.

Styling Tips To Keep You Looking Chic In This Transitional Weather
#1: Wear a cardigan as a top

A cardigan in a lightweight fabric can be worn as a top by itself to conquer unpredictable weather conditions. We’re opting for open cardigans such as this one from Massimo Dutti that we can belt up at the waist for a slimming streamlined effect. This cardigan, when teamed together with commute-friendly sock boots and A-line skirts, will give these edgier separates a professional polish.

#2: Bring out the maxis

When in doubt, bust out the maxis! This springtime outfit, which speaks of dainty flou, doesn’t sacrifice warmth and has an added comfort bonus: Our limbs can stay warm without having to feel constricted in pants. We’re all for flowy chiffon options and T-shirt styled maxi dresses that can be paired with chain-linked loafers and high-heeled boots to make for a chic errand outfit.

#3: Invest in tunics

Long-lined tops are the ultimate investment piece to make during this time of the year. They can be paired with tights on slightly breezier days, or even be worn as a dress; the choice is entirely up to you (ok, not entirely – the weather has a say in it too). Come rain or shine, tunics will have us covered.

#4: Match T-shirts with blazers

Classics are classics for a reason. Take a white shirt for example, it’s an essential staple in every woman’s closet due to its timeless appeal. We’ll be taking our plain tees out for a couple of spins during this transitional weather by teaming it with a pair of high-waisted suit trousers and a well-tailored blazer. Blazers are behooving for brisk mornings, and can be worn off-shoulder should temperatures start to climb.

#5: Turn to sleeveless knits

Sleeveless knitwear literally offers us the best of both worlds; it wards off lingering chills while keeping us sweat-proof at the same time. An understated ensemble, like this desaturated cerulean knit dress and laced up boot pairing is just the ticket for a classy outfit. When we’re feeling preppy, we’ll simply tuck a sleeveless turtleneck top into a plaid skirt and finish off the look with slingback pumps.
