Style is global and through mass consumption it has eliminated the need for seasons. Most people live in moderate climates and those above or below the temperate zones are soon to be extinct polar bears or inedible tap-dancing penguins. Surely people who enjoy four seasons need another set of pants, sweaters, accessories and winter coats to protect them from the snow, but let's get real.
Nine months out of the year, I wear mostly seasonless garments comprised of light weight knits, a leather jacket, a denim trucker jacket paired with sneakers, dress shoes a raincoat, khakis and jeans. The rest are basic tees and shorts along with socks underwear and t-shirts. That's it. I pull the look together with accessories and a little prayer to Jesus.
Fabrics are the real breakthrough in fashion. Lighter weight wools, cotton fleeces which keep you warmer than most heavy knits and nylon fabrics which keep out the cold, the water and snow only support my argument for seasonless fashion.
Like the old saying goes, God made the marble, the sculptor only brings his creation to life. Because at the end of the day, only a handful of designers actually create things you want, the others only recycle what's already been created.
YES
If you're like me and tired of shopping for unpredictable weather fronts that may or may not come and you just want to buy what you need when it's warm or cold or somewhere in between. But looking good is still important to you.
NO
If you have disposable income to buy anything and everything or if you are a celebrity and you get things for free to market to us poor plebeians.
MAYBE
You are a groundhog and you only come out of your hole once a year to check in your shadow; and fur is the best accessory.
