Staying Functional with Clothing in Temperamental Ohio Weather
It happens to us at the change of every season in Ohio; the outfit you wear in the brisk morning is no longer functional for the sweltering temperature in the evening. OR you end up shivering at work because the air conditioning is too cold...but it’s also 85 degrees out. So, how do you prevent bringing an entire wardrobe with you every day and changing five times just to stay comfortable? Here are a few fashion tips and some items to consider buying on your next shopping spree:
The Tied Jacket Trend is BACK
And even if it’s not, let’s bring it back. This style is great for cloudy days when the sun is a bit shy. Wear a stylish hoodie, jacket, or your favorite flannel in the morning and if you get too hot during the day, just tie it around your waist or neck for a fashionable twist on 4th-grade playground attire.
Socks N’ Sandles
This one can be tricky to style, but minimizing the amount of clothing on your upper extremities by wearing breathable, yet cozy socks is going to pay off. Some biker shorts paired with long socks, your trusty Birkenstocks (or some knock-offs), and a trendy T-Shirt are the perfect combination for August in Ohio. This is the perfect way to incorporate freedom into your footwear!
Wear Your Best Sweater Dress
Sweater dresses are the PERFECT solution to the temperamental Midwestern weather. This one from Allie M Designs Boutique is to die for, the fabric is light but just cozy enough to keep you comfortable while still looking BOMB! It even has pockets, what more could you ask for in a piece of clothing?
Another great variation of this is pairing your favorite sweater with a skirt and some tights or stockings; one of the simplest ways to stay comfortable and functional without going full-out with a dress.
You Look Your Best in a Vest
It’s no secret, vests are the perfect way to keep your core warm while staying stylish and not smothering your entire upper body. And the best part is you can dress them up with some cute distressed jeans and a light long sleeve top OR dress them down with some athletic shorts/leggings and your favorite workout hoodie!
Midwestern states know the struggle of finding clothes that work with the weather during the transition from summer to fall. Whatever piece of clothing you may need to get your hands on this season, your local boutique is sure to be up to date on all of the latest trends and be able to give you a style that’s totally unique to you!
