Imaxtree.com; Courtesy Photo Just because it's time to put away your winter threads, doesn't mean you have to retire your favorite trends. Take the styles you've loved through the chillier months and make them work for summer with these seamless swaps. 02 of 11 Dark Florals to Bright Buds Imaxtree(2) What says "summer" more than a garden of colorful flowers? Trade in your favorite dark winter print for neons and pastels, like Erdem did between seasons. 03 of 11 Get the Look Courtesy Polyester, $68; anntaylor.com. 04 of 11 Winter to Summer White Imaxtree(2) Whitewash your neutrals like Chloe did for a brighter and crisper look. 05 of 11 Get the Look Courtesy J.Crew skirt, cotton, $98; jcrew.com. 06 of 11 Chunky Knits to Open Weaves Karl Prouse/Catwalking/Getty Images, Mark Von Holden/Mark Von Holden/ Getty Images Sweaters for summer?

This fiery hue spiced up Roksanda Ilincic's runway, and would do the same for your closet. 09 of 11 Get the Look Courtesy Oasis dress, crepe, $90; oasis.com. 10 of 11 Cold- to Warm-Weather Leather Imaxtree(2) Closed-toe boots and button-up leather jackets may be too hot for the dog days of summer, but shorts and shells are not off-limits. Lighter colors and relaxed shapes guarantee that you'll look as seasonal as Salvatore Ferragamo's models. 11 of 11 Get the Look Courtesy Zara shorts, viscose-polyester, $60; zara.com.
