How to build a

seasonless wardrobe

in 3 steps

Do you still fall into the category of women who, when the temperatures drop, store away their entire summer wardrobe only to bring it out again next year – or vice versa? What a waste! A more compact, seasonless wardrobe actually has many benefits. It allows you to think less in sets and more in possibilities, encourages conscious shopping, and ensures that new pieces, like that strapless dress or chunky knit sweater, don't languish in your closet for months but can be worn immediately. How can you achieve this? Let us explain.

Do you have an overflowing wardrobe and yet keep buying new items? We get it, because we have to admit that the fashion industry doesn't make it easy for you with (often) more than 4 collections per year. The idea emerged that you need different types of items for each season: think bleach blue jeans and flowing blouses for summer versus dark washed jeans and chunky knits for winter. In our opinion, it's an outdated notion. Whether your look matches the season and temperature is actually more about the combinations you create than the item itself. And if you think less seasonally, that timeless black blazer you wear indoors during winter can serve just as well as a summer jacket. Where you can find those timeless basics? Our Essential Styles shop-in-shop is filled with them...

Choose the right fabrics

Choose the right fabrics

You might be thinking: aren't some items too warm or cold to wear throughout the year? But there are solutions for that too! Or rather, one solution: opt for materials that regulate your body temperature. Natural fabrics are key here, with wool (especially cashmere and merino) being the best temperature regulator – after all, it's literally the function of the fur as nature intended. But materials like cotton, silk, bamboo, and even polyamide also ensure that you'll never be too hot or too cold. And if you also choose lightweight knits and fabrics that aren't too dense in structure – giving you the flexibility to layer – your wardrobe becomes more versatile than ever.

Once you have built a strong foundation wardrobe with key pieces that suit your personal style and figure, and have chosen temperature-regulating fabrics, you're well on your way. Now, the trick lies in creating (or omitting) layers. Your favorite summer dress can easily serve as the foundation for a winter look when paired with a chunky knit sweater and boots. Remember: the more layers you wear, the higher the insulation value of your clothing. Need inspiration? Check out our selection of layered looks below.
