In the fashion industry, there are basically two seasons viz. Spring and Fall. They can also be combined with summer and winter as Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Spring is considered to be from January to June and Fall is from July to December. Fashion designers launch new collection of clothing every year during these two seasons.
Though the season collections are combined, we hear terms like summer fashion, winter fashion etc. The idea is to chose the right color according to the seasons and the right fabric. Its like warm weather vs cold weather.
Spring/Summer Clothing: Summer or spring is about being colorful. Colors may range from soft pastel to bright toned colors including yellow, orange, blue, white etc. Spring is also about patterns. Bright floral designs, stripes, soft checks, animal prints etc are some of the trending patterns. Fabric should be light like cotton, linen, silk, or summer blended fabric, which is a combination of cotton and other materials. The fabric should absorb away moisture, and allow air to pass through to keep the skin cool.
Fall/Winter Clothing: Fall is a season of warmth. The colors are usually earthly neutrals to bold darker toned colors. The patterns are also bold and less crowded. Monochrome toned, plaid patterns etc are some of the fall patterns. Fabrics include velvet, hand knitted fabric, woolen, fur, polyster etc. The fabric should keep the cold wind away from entering the clothes and keep the skin warm. Fall fabrics are usually warm and thick. Wraps, jackets, cape coats etc are part of fall fashion, to keep the body warm.
I'm not a person who wears clothes according to seasons. The above written, is just to give the basic idea about fashion w.r.t the seasons. That being said, i think its absolutely impossible to run behind fashion and trends. Designs, trends, and predominant colors change constantly. It is impractical and worthless to follow those. But there are some basic common sense that one should know or have while dressing up.
As said above, summer clothes should be light. You don't want to sweat under heavy clothing and that would look really absurd. White is the all time 'in' color for summer as white is said to reflect back the heat instead of absorbing it inside. Summer clothes should absorb away the sweat and make you feel comfortable and not sticky. Winter clothes should be thick or heavy. It would keep you warm and prevents from being cold. Lighter clothes can also be worn in winter by pairing it with a wrap or a jacket. Black is the all time 'in' color for winter as it absorbs heat inside. One fabric that never goes out of style irrespective of the season is the jean. You just have to be aware of the cut and chose what suits your body. Another tip is to not wear white clothes during night, unless it is some white color themed party or something. You don't want to look like a ghost.
Most of all, it is important to be comfortable in whatever you wear, never letting go of your customs and culture. In every country the styles in all seasons are different. Be sure that whatever you wear will make you feel good, irrespective of the color, trend or season. Know that you are unique and dress according to your body and personality. Don't try to imitate others. Be yourself in whatever you chose. And be you!!
Psst...shop in July and January to get a good deal, since these months will have the greatest sale ;) :p
