All my clothes remain in the same space throughout the year. I choose shorts and short-sleeved shirts more often in warm weather, however I wear the same pairs of pants to work year round, and sometimes long-sleeved dress shirts to work in the summer. (I can’t wear shorts to work.)
Not at all. I do exactly the same thing. But I wear long-sleeve shirts even in the summer, and have stopped rolling up the sleeves. I’m told it’s more fashionable. It’s definitely more sweaty!
Nope. I have a winter coat that’s been off of its hanger maybe 5 times in the past 10 years. I’ve been known to wear shorts & a T-shirt when it’s below zero outside (because I’m inside, so who the hell cares?). I don’t even think I own a sweater.
I’m a woman and I don’t have specifically seasonal clothes. Admittedly I’m in Southern California, so there’s not the large range of temperatures, but as far as I can recall nobody in my family put away clothes when we lived in Ohio either. How big of a wardrobe do you have if you’re putting clothes into storage?!
This is a good way of asking it: My answer is false.
I alter my attire in response to the day’s expected weather (although, for work days - not really), the big item in question being “shorts or long pants”, and I bring a jacket (or not) depending on the day. But my clothes do not get rearranged on a seasonal basis.
I live in Southern California, where even January days are sometimes shorts-appropriate - so they’re always accessible.
I’m female, and I’m going to say false. I live in North Texas, and our weather is notorious for being quite changeable, at least in the winter. During the summer, it’s going to be HOT. However, fall and winter and spring might be quite warm one week, and the next week rather cool. We always have to plan for the Halloween costumes to be lightweight, because October 31 might be very warm, so that a heavy costume would send a kid into a near heatstroke. However, we have to allow room under the costume for warm clothes, in case a cold front comes in.
I almost always wear the same clothes during summer and winter, but I will put on layers of shawls depending on how chilly it is. I’ve had one heavyweight wool cloak/ruana for about 30 years or so, and I don’t need anything heavier. I will wear a long Tshirt dress under my regular clothing for extra warmth, if I need it for inside wear. During warm weather, I’ll wear the Tshirt dress alone.
Since we’re heading into winter at the moment I’m doing the following:

For me, it is pretty specific. Given the set up of my wardrobe, I have one large drawer that either carries my polo- and fun shirts, or my sweaters. As indicated above, twice a year I switch wich gets that honor. The rest is moved into another closet, that is also pretty easy to get to. More importantly, for me these switches are set in stone and means I make due with what’s in the drawer at that moment.
For me it’s not seasonal but the number of layers depends on what the weather was like the day before so I’m always a day behind. Unless I forget what the weather was like the day before. Both ways leave me Goldilocksing when I leave the house: too hot, too cold, or just right, though layers save me there because I can adjust by either taking off an item of clothing or putting one on that I had left behind a previous day.
Chicago here, and yes, I do. Last week, I boxed up my polo shirts, about half of my T shirts, and most of my khaki and plaid shorts. I brought out the sweaters and heavier long sleeve shirts. I live in a studio apartment, so there just isn’t enough room in the closet to keep all the clothes unless I completely crammed everything in.
Back when our heater still worked, I generally didn’t change anything at all, as I spent most of my time indoors no matter the season. Now that we use space heaters, I dress more warmly in the winter, but it’s usually in layers, so no clothes need to be swapped out. It’s amazing, for example, how much warmer having shorts under pants can be.
Go down to your local pet store and buy a cat litter box. Then go to your local 7-11 and buy 10 Slurpees. Then go to a hardware store and get some rock salt.
Pour the Slurpees and rock salt into the litter box.
Now put on your best dress shoes that you spent major bucks on.
