HOW TO LAYER UP IN STYLE

Layering is a necessity at this time of year, but sometimes it can be difficult to show your style at the same time. We're here to tell you that your big coat doesn’t need to hide your 'fit. All great layered looks start with the basics – we're talking T-shirts, knitwear and shirts. Scroll to learn how to maximise your winter wardrobe's style potential with our five easy tips.

Good basics are crucial to any look, so it’s no surprise they’re essential for layering too. Hoodies and knitwear are just two examples of how to layer well – they’re warm, and can be worn over T-shirts as a mid-layer that’s easy to take off if needed. Plus, styling a hoodie under your jacket is a classic streetwear move.

It’s true that you lose the majority of body heat through your head, so a solid hat choice just makes sense in winter. Choose a statement print or silhouette to add a little something to simple 'fits.

A super easy way to bring style to layered looks? A high neckline. Whether it’s a jumper or sweatshirt, make sure the collar is stood up and shows beneath your coat – make the most of the peekaboo look by opting for a colour pop or something with texture.

We heard two jackets are better than one. No, seriously – try styling your light autumn jackets over gilets or underneath bigger overcoats. For extra points, wear an open shirt underneath your jacket, too. The extra layer is light, not bulky, but will add dimension to the outfit.

Here’s one you probably already knew or already have in your wardrobe: an XL scarf. Find one in a versatile colourway that goes with everything or go for something with a statement print. Top tip: the swoopy styling of these two is simple and very of-the-moment.
