With chilly winter weather in full swing up north, you may be escaping the December freeze with a trip to beautiful Florida. A vacation isn’t complete without a visit to a local boutique clothing shop, but purchasing warm-weather items just to return to the cold after your trip can seem a bit futile. Luckily, there are plenty of beautiful items you can invest in while it’s warm that will serve you just as well in cold weather. Make note of these three tips for your holiday shopping list.

3 Warm-to-Cold Pieces for Your Wardrobe

1. Linen Items

Whether it’s cut into a dress, skirt, or pants, linen can easily translate from hot to cold climates. Thanks to its usually understated hues, this fabric is versatile and can be paired in many ways. Consider linen pants with a wool sweater and knee-length coat, for example—or try a linen dress with black boots and a cardigan.

2. All-Weather Accessories

The best accessories span all seasons. A statement piece of jewelry or bold bag from a boutique clothing shop will stand out in the crowd of usual retail items. Don’t shy away from bright colors, which can add a much-needed pop to a dark winter wardrobe.

3. Silk Women’s Blouses

A silk blouse has an airy, cool feel to it in summer but it can work just as well in your winter wardrobe when properly layered. Silk is actually a very tightly woven fabric, so it traps heat nicely—and acts as a soft buffer between your skin and tougher fabrics like wool. Take the blouse you wore on sunny days down south and layer it under a crew neck sweater or cardigan at home.
