English capitalization rules: When to capitalize (Continuation)

When to capitalize seasons

Are seasons capitalized? In general, the seasons—spring, summer, autumn (fall), and winter—are not capitalized. They use lowercase just like other common nouns.

Last winter and spring were so bad, this summer has to be better.

However, often seasons are used in titles, especially in fashion. In this case, they are part of a proper noun, and so they are capitalized.

Hermès’s Fall 2022 collection was even better than Prada’s Spring 2021 collection.

When to capitalize job titles

Just like the seasons, job titles, positions, or honorifics are sometimes capitalized and sometimes lowercased. When these titles are used as part of a proper name, they are capitalized; when they refer to the general job or position, they are lowercased.

The next president may be from a different region than President Mujica.

Likewise, honorifics like Mr. and Ms. are capitalized when used before a name.
