There’s a nip in the air, the nights have become chillier, the morning sun is getting paler by the day, and all these can mean only one thing – the season to layer is here! It’s the time to get those woollens and jackets out of the wardrobe and air them for some stylish outings. Indian winters, especially in the plains, offer you ample chance for going creative with your layering ideas. So, upgrade your winter wardrobe with the season’s hottest styles and layer away to glory!

Work for it – This is the season for adding an interesting twist to your typical work wear by putting on some fashionable layers. Drive away the Monday morning blues by layering up your crisp white shirt with a smart blazer or a well-tailored waistcoat. Women can sport a classic cardigan in a neutral or pastel hue over a formal dress for a chilly day spent at work. If the temperatures dip further, you can layer a sleeveless vest or sweater over your work shirt and top it off with a fitted jacket, accessorising the look with a classic watch and formal shoes.

 

Go casual – Putting together casual outfits in winter can be absolutely fun as you can experiment with different layering styles and flaunt your style game wherever you go! The dapper dude can go for sleeveless parkas over long-sleeved tees, denims & boots for an evening out with the boys, or sport a leather jacket over a graphic tee & distressed jeans for a weekend music gig. Style-conscious women can pair a shirt-dress with a maxi cardigan, tights & booties. A day spent shopping with the girls call for your comfiest denim and tee combo, worn with a bomber jacket & chic slip-on shoes.

Travel Tales – This is the time for winter holidays and impromptu vacations! So, it’s important to up your travel style by packing in essentials that can layer up to form different outfits. A warm woollen sweater can work wonders both with denims as well as with a dress, while you can carry a jacket that goes with anything from trousers, skirts, dresses. Men can layer up a shirt with a sleeveless pullover during the daytime & just put on a jacket on top when it gets chillier. Similarly, a bright scarf is a must-have for women which they can wrap on along with a sweater, denim & boots combo if required.

Party on – Of course, it’s the season of the most happening parties and the invites have started pouring in already! Shine bright at the year-end parties by layering a sequined cardigan on your LBD or throwing on a metallic jacket with a crop top & skirt combo. Men can look suave and stay warm at the same time by flaunting a leather jacket on a pullover & denim outfit or donning a smart velvet blazer with a party shirt for a wedding. Invest in some classic party layering key pieces that will take you effortlessly through winter.

Layering is an art, and there’s no hard & fast rule to it. Experiment, try out various combinations and sport styles that suit your body shape to grab eyeballs this season while staying warm and comfy!
