LAYERing - How to stay warm and stylish

It’s definitely cold out there and these layering tips for the winter will help you achieve that artfully layered look with your outfits. Many people are afraid to try layers for fear of looking bigger than they actually are. Let me tell you something: layering is all about creativeness and versatility; it’s undoubtedly a smart way to dress considering functionality and proportions in first place, using a number of lightweight clothes that you can add or remove. Staying warm these days doesn’t have to be directly proportional to the thickness of your clothes, once you’re aware of your figure, you could try a couple of extra layers by using your favorites knits without forgetting which ones are the more flattering items. Remember that a well layered look will create the illusion of a more balanced silhouette by complimenting your curves.

To create the perfect layered outfit first you need to identify those basic pieces that I’m sure you have in your wardrobe. You need to start with a basic top that you have to keep more fitted in order to look slim: something neutral or solid would be ideal. Add the next layer by using a sweater, a cardigan or maybe a bold pullover. After that you’ll be able to add a nicely cut jacked or coat for a more tailored effect; again I’d strongly suggest a neutral color such as black, navy or camel. Finally, add some magic with a scarf and don’t forget the right accessories (rings, bracelets, a watch...). Well, now you are ready to master the art of layering!
