Winter has always been my favorite season because you get to pull out so many more items. Scarves, turtlenecks, boots, coats, gloves, tights — fashion just gets a lot more fun when you have to wear more clothes. (Although, being Brazilian, winter for me is anything below 68 degrees.)

This year, there might not be that many occasions to go out, not too many events where you will need to be dressed up for. Plus, winter can be extra depressing when you aren’t doing the usual social activities. So why not bring some summer vibes to the colder months and style your summer clothes for winter?

From all your cute dresses to your favorite beach accessories, they can all be repurposed with some basic winter items for the cold. So don’t start putting away your summer clothes just yet. Take a page out of Harry Styles‘ book, and rock a summer dress in winter. (And no, I’m still not over how amazing his Vogue cover shoot is.)

Here are some outfit inspirations to perfectly transition your summer wardrobe to winter.

6 Reasons Why You Should Wear Your Summer Clothes in Winter

• It’s eco-friendly. Get more wear out of the pieces you already own instead of buying new all the time. It’s better to have fewer, nicer pieces, rather than more low-quality items. (More on why this is important here.)
• It forces you to be creative with your style. Instead of rocking the same tried and true looks you always wear, branch out and play with styling tricks to make unconventional pieces work.
• You’ll have light layers you can take off if the heat is cranking — no more being stuck in a sweater dress all day when it’s 80 degrees inside.
• You’ll stand out. In a sea of black leggings and puffer coats, stand out in a slip dress and tights or cutoffs and a faux fur coat. You’ll turn heads and become known for the fashionista you are.
• You’ll bring the vibrance of summer to the winter months. Summer clothes are bold, beautiful and bright — why not bring some of these good vibes to the winter?
• One less box to put away. Instead of putting away your summer clothes and swapping them out for winter ones, keep everything out and you’ll have a full wardrobe of possibilities to experiment with. (Plus one less chore to do!)
