Of course, there are several ways to keep wearing your (summer) dresses well into the fall, or even into the winter. Think of things like, wearing warm tights or heavy stockings, a warm and cozy cardigan and for sleeveless or short sleeve dresses, there’s always the turtleneck T-shirt that can be worn underneath. All perfect layering options to prolong wearing dresses over several seasons. But when it comes to the button-down dress, there’s another - less apparent - option: wear your button-down dress completely buttoned open, to layer over any outfit for a kimono inspired style.

This trick works well with all button-down dresses, no matter the style or length of the dress; from uni-colored to printed dresses, from knee-length to midi or maxi styles - collect all your button-down dresses and start experimenting with different outfits underneath. Teamed with leather pants and a silk top, your new-style cover-up will look different from when you wear it with jeans and a turtleneck T-shirt underneath. This enables varying from casual to more chic or classic looks - the options are truly endless.
