Adam Says...Yes You Can! New Clothes for Every Shape

 

Q: Can I wear my summer dresses in the fall?


Summer dress 1 Adam: "All those seasonal rules are over, ladies. Changing weather patterns mean fashion is now about adapting your wardrobe to wear year-round, not buying tons of new things. Layering is the key, but don't attempt it with something too tropical and bare; a fairly classic dress in rich, quiet colors (our pick: Marc Jacobs, $995) is way more flexible. Add-ons should share the same palette."

September: Entertainment television host Chantal Bolivar, who is in her 30s, can save money by wearing cable-knit tights (DKNY, $23) with open-toe shoes from summer (Halston). 

Cuff, Ewa Solarska.
