fashion2 months ago
I know we’re coming up on the end of winter season, but it’s still that time of year for cold weather layering like a pro!
Whether you’re getting dressed for a meeting or a day of errands, layering in the winter months is necessary. You can create a multi-focal point tailored look or stick to looser and draping silhouettes to rock the ultimate unbothered yet put-together style. Like most trends, there is an art to getting winter layering just right. More might be more, but you don’t want to keep piling things on to the point where you look like the Michelin Man. Here are a few tricks to get your multi-piece looks just right.
what i’m wearing
COS trench coat • Acne Studios scarf • LOEWE jeans • Sézane sweater • CHANEL ballerina flats
1. add depth with an unexpected turtleneck
like i did for the jason wu show. this layer is exceptionally practical for colder months where you need the added coverage. let it peak through the top of your look to create depth, and choose between a neutral style that blends in or something that contrasts your look for a pop of unexpected color or blocking.
2. add texture with a wool scarf
is there anything more quintissential when it comes to cold weather layering? we’ve been seeing styles from Acne Studios and Toteme go viral over the past couple of seasons, and it’s for good reason. let it drape from your neck or layer it oon top of oversized styles for the ultimate coccoon look.
3. layer with an over-the-shoulder sweater
bored of the scarves in your closet, or looking for a more quiet luxury feel? try layering a sweater over your shoulders, tennis style, for a cozy and put-together vibe.
4. jackets on jackets? the more, the merrier!
mix and match tailored and oversized pieces to create unexpected and functional layers.
5. stamp a signature on your look with jewelry
try layering unexpected bold jewelry over scarves, long sleeves, or lapels for added focal points in your look that give a luxurious and eclectic feel.
6. button-up shirts are your best friends!
the go-to foundation for a layered look. let the collar peek through the neck of your sweater or cuff the sleeves over your outer layer for a sophisticated and unexpected layer.
