We already heard about the fact that staying warm and stylish is all about dressing in layers…
…but not that many really talk about exactly how to do it. So I thought I would.
Layering is lots of fun and one really gets to go through a creative process while dressing! You don’t necessarily need to do this for the sake of keeping body heat, it’s also a really cool way of styling your outfits.
Anything that is wool+silk blend will keep you warm and is something you can hide underneath your outfit. Whether its stockings or a top - doesn’t matter. If you’re in a cold place, it will definitely help!
Here is a list of ‘layering recipes’ to follow that always works.
Let’s call it the cheat sheet for the art of layering!
- White shirt + a round or v-neck sweater + jeans of any kind really + coat to throw over your shoulders. Discrete golden chain necklaces will add that final touch to your look.
- A shirt dress + skirt that is shorter than the length of the dress on top of it. A very popular look we saw all over fashion weeks lately.
- Another thing you could do with the shirt dress is put on a sweater on top and let it be a shirt skirt! How brilliant?
- Wearing a leather jacket underneath your coat is a smart and cool way of layering.
- Leather jacket underneath your vest is a classic but always gorgeous way to style your layered ensemble.
- Turtleneck + thin silk scarf around your neck + deep v-neck spaghetti strap dress.
- Shirt (half tucked in to your trousers) + leather jacket + bag + coat.
- Shirt + a v-neck sweater + blazer + coat.
- Tight turtleneck sweater + crispy shirt + a few necklaces of different lengths.
Also, wrapping your sweater around the waist is a cool way of adding details with clothes and will definitely keep your bum warm.
