The Art of Layering

"I'll just layer" is probably something you say to yourself as winter sets in...

If you're anything like me you want to put on all of your coziest clothes at the same time. A hat to keep my ears from going numb? Yes. Cashmere socks? Yes yes. Long sleeve top - knit vest - coat combo? Definitely yes. 

Thoughtful layering isn't just useful when it's freezing out (or even if it's not so freezing!) but it also puts your advanced styling skills on display.  As we know, layering can be tricky to get right. 

But wait, what if I don't have advanced styling skills?

The key to layering is to follow a few simple guidelines. Start with a focus on color. And yes, that color can be black ; ) 

  • Start with 3 pieces in a solid monochrome or neutral color palette   

  • If desired, add in a single item in a print or bright color while keeping the other pieces in the same solid color

  • Get creative with the details - wrap an extra sweater over your coat as a scarf alternative

    No thinking required, just scroll on for our stylist-approved layering collection!  If a more personalized upgrade is in order, you know where to find us ; )
