5 Winter Layers You’ll Reach For Again and Again

Winter dressing does not need to be complicated.

A few useful layers can make getting dressed much easier, especially when they work with pieces you already own.

Here are five winter layers that are easy to wear and easy to style through the colder months.

1. A Soft Knit Jumper

A good knit is one of the most useful pieces in a winter wardrobe.

Wear it with denim, relaxed pants or over a dress when you need a little more warmth.

Neutral colours are especially handy because they work with most of the rest of your wardrobe.

2. The Everyday Long Sleeve

A simple long sleeve top is a good base layer for winter.

Wear it under a knit, jacket or coat, or on its own with jeans or relaxed pants on milder days.

Black, white, cream and grey are easy colours to mix with other winter pieces.

3. A Slip Skirt

Slip skirts do not have to disappear once summer ends.

Wear one with a knit, boots and a jacket for an easy winter outfit that still feels a little softer than denim or trousers.

Add tights underneath if you need extra warmth.

4. A Scarf

A scarf is one of the easiest ways to add warmth without changing your whole outfit.

Wear it wrapped around your neck, draped over your shoulders or tucked into a coat on colder days.

It is also a simple way to add texture or a different colour to an otherwise basic look.

5. Everyday Jewellery

Jewellery can help finish off heavier winter outfits.

Small hoops, a simple necklace or a bracelet can add a little detail without competing with your layers.

Choose pieces that work with the clothes you wear most so they are easy to reach for day to day.

Building a Winter Wardrobe That Works

You do not need to build your winter wardrobe all at once.

Start with a few layers you know you will wear often, then add pieces as you notice what is missing.

A knit, long sleeve, skirt, scarf and a few accessories can give you plenty of outfit options without making things complicated.
