Figuring out what to wear when the weather is in-between—crisp in the morning, warm in the middle of the day, cool at night—is a science that involves many wardrobe experiments that can result in both major successes, or complete disasters when you’re freezing one minute and boiling the next.
But if there’s one chic clique that always seem to get it right, it’s the Paris street style set. No matter what temperature the dial is reading and what the outdoors throw at them, they look effortlessly elegant and always on-trend.
So, what’s their secret? How is it every fashion forward show-goer en route to or on the way back from a fashion show looks like they knew exactly how to dress that day?
One word: layering. This is an insider trick the Paris posse know is the key to dressing for autumn or spring. When the weather is unpredictable they layer up to give themselves options. Think a blazer thrown over a tee and skirt, a dress or with a sharply tailored shirt and pants. The blazer keeps the wearer warm first thing in the morning or in the cooler afternoon, but can be easily removed in the middle of the day when the temperature rises.
Layering a classic white shirt, long-sleeved top or knit under a spaghetti strap or short-sleeved dress is another masterful way the street style set get the transeasonal dress code spot on. It’s also a clever trick to make your existing wardrobe work overtime—that favourite summer dress can be worn all year long when layered correctly.
Another stellar transeasonal option the street style set call on is a long-sleeved, knee-length dress with an ankle boot. The sleeve length keeps you warm, while the bare calf keeps it breezy when the sun hits a high note.
