Winter dressing isn’t just about staying warm; it’s about mastering the art of looking sharp, even when the mercury’s dropping. With a few well-chosen pieces and some smart layering, you can easily achieve both function and style. It's not rocket science, but there are a few simple tenets that you'd be wise to follow in order to level up your winter looks.
Layer Up
Layering is the foundation of winter styling, but there’s a strategy to it. Start with lightweight, breathable fabrics next to the skin such as organic cotton, or merino wool when it's really cold. Next, add a mid-layer with some texture and warmth - this is where the likes of brushed cotton or flannel shirts really come into their own, as well as a knitwear layer such as a preppy crew neck or a cardigan. Finally, top it all off with a heavier coat or jacket for an added layer of sophistication. Varying lengths in your layers adds depth and dimension to your look, so that about how the hem of your shirt might peep through the bottom of your knitwear, or try popping the collar of the shirt to create a slightly longer silhouette.
