no longer available or relevant for a specific time of year · not in style for the current season
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.
💡 **Pro Tip!** This expression can save you from an awkward fashion faux pas! If you see a beautiful but clearly winter-only coat in July, you might think, 'Uhm, that's definitely out of season.' It's not just for groceries, but also for clothes, decor, and even some activities.
You're shopping for groceries in December and can't find fresh strawberries. Which English expression explains why? A. to be in season B. to be out of season C. to be a hot commodity
