Welcoming the Fall Season


There’s one constant in life that is certain: people don’t like change. Well, most people don’t want to welcome it, I should say. Change, for the most part, poses an effort to adapt to something new, and people typically prefer to stay lazy and do things how they’ve been going as of late.


But for me, I’m the opposite. While I do enjoy my normal monotony as much as the next person, there’s something exciting about switching it up, trying something new, and revisiting old things. Some of those things I like to revisit are clothes.

Like most people, I have two to three different wardrobes. Summer apparel probably takes up the most of my closet simply because those clothes can be worn anytime of year, even under the heavier stuff I’d put on during winter. On the opposite hand, winter gear is specific only to the winter, and my sweaters, boots, and under shirts are all relegated to a few months out of the year.

It’s nice to dig into those old shipping boxes containing my heavier stuff, though. For one, I like the cold because I’m just always so dang hot. Summer is a time when you can wear little clothing and move about freely, but I always feel like I’m sweating too much all the time. But in winter, I can step outside to cool off, even if it means I’m not fully dressed to the max with heavy coats and whatnot. I quite enjoy the colder months for that reason, but I also like them in order to break out some of the heavier sweaters I own. And some of my boots are specifically made to handle snow or slush.


So whether or not you enjoy one season or the other, try to embrace the changing of the seasons as a natural, yearly event that allows you to pull out the shipping boxes in storage and wear some of your more obscure clothing items. Perhaps there’s an old pair of shoes you have been neglecting that could fit perfectly with a winter outfit. Maybe you haven’t yet worn that scarf your in-law got you last Christmas. Or maybe you keep forgetting about that pair of gloves you could use when driving to work.

No matter the case, welcome the fall season in as a chance to dress differently or express your sense of style in a new way. By letting a drab and predictable routine of the same old same old determine what you wear, you become kind of boring in general.

So, switch it up! What could it hurt to be a bit more fashionable and have fun with what clothes you do own?
