Max Loves

While it is tempting to go all out while shopping for a winter wardrobe, you should make smart styling choices. Rather than buying that one expensive coat or sweater, why not invest in three beautiful pieces that can be styled in many ways, giving you outfit choices throughout the season? We’re big fans of layering because there are so many individual elements to play with. The coldest days of winter are also when you can play with fun accessories like hats, gloves, mufflers and belts. The more colourful and fun they are, the more you’ll stand out.

 

Layer Cake

 

At brand Max, we’re big fans of layering because there are so many individual elements to play with. Pull a solid-coloured cropped sweater over a plain sweatshirt and you’ve aced colour blocking. Add in a long coat or bomber jacket, top it off with a scarf. You’ll look toasty and on trend. Let your full-sleeved collared shirt peek out from under a patterned jumper. Experiment with colours, textures and patterns over and under—see where your fancy takes you!

 

CoatGoals

 

Heavy overcoats and jackets might inspire lust, but unless you know they’ll outlast this year’s trends, you might want to do a cost per wear analysis. When investing in a winter outer layer that comes with a hefty price tag, make sure you can think of at least five different ways to style the garment. Either opt for a classic shape—like a trench coat or bomber jacket—or a neutral colour or evergreen pattern (like, tweed or herringbone) that will work in multiple ways so that you get your full money’s worth.
