What's the situation?
Ever seen a gorgeous swimsuit in winter or a heavy coat in summer? 😩 That's when you'd use 'to be out of season'! It applies to fashion, fruits, vegetables, or anything else that's only popular or available during certain times of the year. It's a handy phrase for explaining why something isn't on the shelves or isn't a good buy right now.
