5 ideas to layer your clothes this Winter

So Mr. Wind and Miss Rain are now entering our daily lives, and along with them, comes the urgency of layering clothes – So how can you perfect this practice without looking bulky or feeling like you are drowning in your clothes? Here are 5 ideas we picked up to get you inspired. 

1. The rule of 3

Let’s start with the basics. When it comes to layering, take into consideration the rule of 3:

The base layer: A piece to keep you dry – Polyester material is water-resistant and helps to keep moisture away from your skin.

Mid layer: Add warmth – Choose a comfortable sweatshirt that will protect parts of your body that require extra care like your neck/chest area.

Outer layer: The touch of care – Choose a waterproof jacket to avoid humidity coming into your body (We made a jacket guide according to the weather, check it out here!). Keep in mind to choose a breathable garment to prevent you from overheating.

There are many ways to apply the rule of 3 on your winter looks!

2. Play with proportions.

There are so many winter options to choose from, but to know which one will fit you better, take into consideration the following:

For accentuating your curves - Jackets with adjustable, fitted waistlines. If you are tall - Go for long, straight coats to elongate your figure even more. For Petites - Avoid a knee-long coat, as it will make the legs look shorter. Instead, opt for short coats with adjustable waist.

     

3. Don’t be afraid of colors and patterns

Set your authenticity free. Play with your favorite colors and show the world your mood through them. If you love certain colors, but you are not so sure how to combine them, you can use a color wheel, it will give you an idea of how to mix complimentary, warm, and any type of colors together.

Try playing with patterns as well. Add polka dots and a pop color for a happy, statement look. Floral patterns with more earthy tones will give you a soft, aesthetic style.

   

   

How about mixing colors and patterns all together? A bold, yet awesome style!

4. Go for a monochromatic look

If you are into a minimal style, choose a sweater and coat in the same color, It will elevate your outfit and create the illusion that you are wearing fewer layers. (It also looks super chic.)

   

   

5. Don’t hide the dress

The dress era is not over! For the colder days, try a sweater dress. Due to its versatility, this piece is a cool weather must-have. Pair it with leggings or tights, use a long coat or vest on top, and you are set! You can even pair it with sneakers for an everyday look, or boots for an elegant touch.
