LAYER YOUR CLOTHES IN WINTERS
LAYER YOUR
CLOTHES IN WINTERS
Its chilly everywhere. Curb the chill and do it in style. When the weather gets
colder, the fancier and more fashionable coats, jackets, capes, boots should
be. So wrap yourself up with our wide array of outerwear, from edgy jackets to
sophisticated furry coats. The evenings are drawing in and so it's time to de-hibernate
your woolens. But if piling on the layers comes with the fear of looking like
an urban yeti, then worry not. We've dissected our favorite layered looks from
the street style set to show you how to keep your cold snap looks
sleek, chic and streamlined.
Double up on outerwear is a good choice when you still love to put on
your summer clothes. Your summer jacket isn't off bounds for winter - a denim
or leather jacket is a great base for under a long trench when the cold really
hits home. Also I love to invest in over-the-knee boots, has always been my
first preference especially in winters. All those slinky wrap skirts and
culottes you bought for summer are still in style, so to take them into winter
without catching a chill, a pair of over the knee or even thigh high boots - are just the thing.
They look sexier than tights by far and much warmer.
The street style
set turned layering on its head at the spring / summer 16 shows, teaching us
it's all about mixing and matching different textures and lengths. Be playful
to follow suit - but the golden rule for this one is to stick to a minimal
palette.
This technique is pretty much easy to do if you’re willing to look outside of
the box and take style risks. Not to mention it has the added bonus of
extending the versatility of the wardrobe you already have. mixing textures and prints can be a daunting task,
which often results in wrong combinations that don’t look that good. This is
why most people say they’d never do it. But seriously, with lots of practice
and if done correctly you can get out of your comfort zone and mount amazing
looks using the technique of Mix n Match.
When you want to stay warm without swapping
your entire outfit, a classic cape is your go-to - you'll still be able to
juggle your clutch underneath and show off what's underneath. Capes have become one of the coolest
cover ups on catwalk and on the high street. A favorite among us fashion
folk, the cape is one chic piece that can do wonders for the simplest outfit, transforming
a casual look into an altogether cooler outfit in seconds. Cosy knits can be chic . If you are worried your
utilitarian shirt dress will wash out your waist, the simple solution is to
belt it. Look out for one with loops so you have the option to twist it though.
