Dressing for the summer months is simple: you pull out your floatiest frocks, invest in a new pair of sunglasses and buy one of this season''s best new bikinis. Dressing in winter is also stress free. Ditch the lighter fabrics of summer and layer up with jumpers, cardigans, jeans, tights, jersey dresses and leggings, whilst accessorising with hats, scarves, boots and gloves galore.

However, when one season starts to move into another the weather can become incredibly hard to predict making our fashion choices rather more complicated. It is an issue rarely addressed by many fashion journalists.

For a few fashion tips on dressing between the seasons and how best to prepare for all eventualities, read on:

Stocking up on cardigans is a great way to be prepared for all meteorological eventualities. Ladies cardigans come in a range of sizes so you can have one to suit your mood whatever look you''re going for. Chunky knits look great with jeans, while smart twin sets might be more appropriate for work. Stock up on a selection at an affordable high street store such as New Look.

Layering is also a great ...
... way to be sure that you can adjust your outfit to match the conditions you''re in. The layered and draped look is big right now and the most elegant way to wear it is by matching similar tones together. If in doubt, go for nudes and neutrals, simple and classic.

Be sure to have plenty of scarves, wraps and sarongs. If you''re lucky you''ll find a couple of items that could be used as all three.

Simple layers are always useful. Always be sure to have a well stocked wardrobe, complete with a variety of vest tops, short sleeved and long sleeved T shirts to put under any of your more intricate items to make them appropriate for any time of year.

Dressing for fashion whilst also being comfortable and practical is a skill that takes practise and frequently trial and error. Get it right, though, and you''ll know you''re a true fashionista. Barton Loi is a freelance fashion journalist. They recommend New Look for ladies cardigans.
