ADOPT, ADAPT AND ADJUST- THE GUIDE TO TRANS-SEASONAL DRESSING
Posted:
Don’t start stashing away your knitwear just yet. Spring time is the perfect time to embrace trans-seasonal fashion. The global pandemic has seen us cut smaller numbers of some of our iconic pieces, so if there are any statement styles that have been on your wish list, the time is now as they wont be around for much longer. Combined with New Zealand’s weather inclination to be a mixture of warm and cool weather, it is the perfect time to get your head around a trans-seasonal wardrobe. Here at taylor, we are always looking for pieces and styling outfits that can be worn all year around which makes it a little less stressful on your bank balance and the environment whilst making getting dressed a whole lot easier. Find yourself between the extreme weather condition for a capsule collection of clothes that will bridge the season.
Left: Belted Transpire Pant, Top right: Attained Pant, Bottom right: Merino Variegate Pant.
Wide Leg Pants: The perfect pants for heat waves and those chilly cooler days. Team them with a singlet or lighter top and sandals when the weather heats up, or team them with sneakers, boots and chunky knitwear and a coat when the temperature drops. Push out of your comfort zone and try a wider leg style such as the Belted Transpire Pant, the Attained Pant or the Merino Variegate Pant or preorder your Arched Interim Pant here, styling them with a light weight shirt or top styles for a statement look with an edge - a timeless chic look that is not going away any time soon.

Left to right: Translucent Tunic, Relief Tunic Dress, Swivel Tunic.
Layer It Up: The perfect pieces to wear in every season, our 100% silk mesh camber tunic is a natural fibre that is soft in texture and feels like a soft second skin when worn. Due to its fibre properties, the Silk Mesh Camber Tunic will keep you warm during those cooler days and comfortable during the peak of summer. The Swivel Tunic is always an amazing layering piece for those in-between seasons. An elongating tunic that can be worn over trousers or as a dress is the perfect multi-use piece to wear with a shorter top whilst covering the arms in summer without having to wear a jacket.

Left to right: Body and Soul Heel, On The Edge Sneaker, Short Cut Boot.
Opposites attract: If you want to wear your summer clothes, but the weather isn't quite cooperating, simply pair your dress with covered winter shoes like the On The Edge Sneakers or boots such as the Short Cut Boot and throw a jacket on top. On the other hand, if you want to wear your favourite knitwear piece but feel that you will get too hot, pair it back with some summer sandals or the perfect trans-seasonal heel like the Body and Soul Art Heel. Don't be afraid to mix and match your shoes to maintain your temperature whilst keeping your outfits the same so you can still wear your favourite pieces. Click here to shop our shoes now.
Left to right: Trace Sweater, Sheer Objective Dress, Shadow Sweater.
Be Experimental: Pull out your favourite pieces from winter and summer to combine them together. Layer light with midweight layers such as the incredible Reversible Shadow Sweater or the Sheer Objective Dress with summer shorts or a floating skirt, or your favourite winter pants with a beautiful summer singlet tucked in with a belt. The Trace Sweater is also the perfect crop knitwear piece to layer over a longer dress shirt and tailored pants for a easy winter through spring look. Click here to shop our new collection now.

Invest in Quality: Invest in pieces that will last the test of time and help make your wardrobe look classic, polished and worn multiple times over.
