Versatile Sets You Can Wear Year-Round
As the seasons change, you'll need to adjust your wardrobe to suit the weather, but that doesn't mean you have to completely "seasonalize" your closet. Because who has time to completely re-arrange their wardrobe every time a new season rolls around?
We're not sure if it's because we live in NYC now and space is valuable or if it's just because we're getting older — but anymore, the more practical a piece is, the better.
So, lately, we've found ourselves drawn towards pieces that makes the most sense — in terms of versatility and style.
From pieces you can layer to items that can be mixed and matched, these sets make themselves closet-space worthy. Because if something's going to take up space in your wardrobe — it better be worth it.
As summer fades to fall, you'll be able to continue to wear pieces like these, so let's get to shopping some practical pieces — no matter the weather — shall we?
