My summer clothes are often lighter shades of my winter clothes. A lot of my sweaters are olive green, rusty red, burgundy and charcoal gray. My t-shirts, dresses and skirts are more in the vicinity of sage, dusty pink and lighter gray. It's not really exclusive, though, and I think to some degree has to do with what colours the clothes are available in.

Yes! My wardrobe is definitely more colorful and lighter in the summer. I’m usually a skater/punk/goth at heart so my style doesn’t change much, but I do pull some white band shirts and some patterned dresses when it’s hot!

In the summer my outfits are more colorful, same goes for the spring (when it’s warm enough). Fall and winter my clothes are darker colored overall.

Kinda, my clothes fade so any vibrancy wears out by September.

I work outdoors so I don’t really get much respite.

Edit: Am I allowed to post? Sorry if not.

If you feel this community as a women's only community (women, trans, etc are welcome) is a good fit for you, then you're welcome to comment :)

Otherwise, there's some 'Ask Lemmy' type communities that could use the same question! I bet there'd be some interesting responses from some of the men on Lemmy as well!

Ok, thanks. I’ll obviously pop back to look at anything that interests me here but in the future I’ll leave the discussion for those the community is intended for.

Yes. The clothes that are usually styled as summer clothes (cut and fabric weight) tend to come in different and lighter colors.

I tend to wear more blood reds, rust oranges, deep purples, dark teals, and hunter greens in the fall/winter.

I tend to wear more sage greens, corals, creams, and light grays in the spring/summer.

Blacks and charcoal grays are always in for me though!
