This Seasons Style Guide For Layering
As winter approaches, and it is approaching fast, we all want to stay warm and comfortable without compromising our sense of style. That’s stating the obvious, so layering is the main key to achieving both fashion and functionality during this chilly season. But what we always find a struggle is how to layer without sacrificing style but maintaining function. We think by strategically combining different pieces of clothing and fabrics, you can create stylish and cozy outfits that will keep you comfortable wherever you go. Whether it’s running to Starbucks for coffee or chilling at the ski lodge, pairing your layers up with the right fabrics further enhances your winter look. We’ve got some helpful layering tips and the best fabrics for staying fashionable and cozy this winter.
When it comes to layering, the key is to start with a good base layer. Opting for lightweight and breathable fabrics like cotton or silk for your first layer will help regulate your body temperature and prevent moisture like sweat or even rain from being trapped against your skin. Then we suggest adding a middle layer with some sort of insulation, like a sweater or even a fleece lined jacket. Finally, we would finish this layered look with another outer layer like an oversized wool blazer, a trench coat or a trendy cropped puffer jacket which we’ve talked about on the site not too long ago.
Now that we’ve got the layering formula down, what are the best fabrics you should be shopping for this winter? Choosing the correct fabrics is crucial in succeeding your enhanced winter style and comfort. To start, wool is a timeless choice and is excellent and well known for how it can help retain heat and keep your body insulated. It’s a great choice for sweaters and accessories such as scarves and beanies. Before we’ve also talked about cashmere and how it’s renowned for iit’s soft and luxurious feel but it’s also great for layering light sweaters and makes an awesome fabric for lounge sets to be worn in the house on those stormy days. Plus, you’ll still feel so soft and elegant while relaxing by the fire. Of course, you should also be shopping for synthetic materials as well such as fleece or polyester and nylon for water resistance. We recommend these materials for jackets and coats because they’re sure to keep you and your other layers nice and dry, just as they should be.
With this guide, you can easily create stylish and cozy looks that will keep you warm and comfortable all season long. Remember to embrace the versatility of layering and experiment with different textures and fabrics to find the perfect combination that suits your personal style. Make the most out of the winter weather by staying fashion-forward and cozy at the same time. Stay stylish, stay warm!
