Tip N°1

How To: 10 Tips to Master the Art of LayeringImaxtree

Top your plain turtleneck sweater with a patterned suit jacket and an oversized patterned coat to amp up your casual outdoorsey look. Pairing power patterns is the new pink after all.

 

Tip N°2

How To: 10 Tips to Master the Art of LayeringImaxtree

Be ready for whatever the day brings — you don’t want to have to run back home midday if temperatures drop. Try wearing a denim jacket and a puffer coat over your sweater on a cooler day.

 

 

 

Tip N°3

The turtleneck-V-neck combo is not dead! Pick a coloured turtleneck, pair it with a vintage V-neck and top off your look with a straight-cut blazer.

Tip N°4

How To: 10 Tips to Master the Art of LayeringImaxtree

Try the four-layer look: turtleneck, textured jacket, leather jacket and oversized coat for that extra heat.

Tip N°5

How To: 10 Tips to Master the Art of LayeringImaxtree

Do oversized from head to toe — palazzo pants and a boyfriend blazer beneath a full-length coat. Pro tip: opt for the tucked-in fitted tee that will accentuate your waistline.

 

Tip N°6

Substitute the blouse you usually wear with your oversized suit jacket and dress pants with a round neck t-shirt. Bonus fashion points for picking a tee that matches the colour of your coat.

 

 

Tip N°7

Play with different textures and fits. A leather shirt layered with two jackets — one fitted and one oversized —  looks fierce.

 

Tip N°8

How To: 10 Tips to Master the Art of LayeringImaxtree

Say yes to the monochromatic outfit. Whether you’re into brown, grey, white or off-white this season, go deep in the single-colour ensemble. Oh, and make sure you follow rule N°7.

 

Tip N°9

How To: 10 Tips to Master the Art of LayeringImaxtree

Don’t leave your plaid at the cottage. About to grab a socially-distanced latte with the girls? Take your turtleneck sweater, button-down bf shirt and plaid coat on a stroll. We call this the Pumpkin Spice Crème garb.

 

 

Tip N°10

How To: 10 Tips to Master the Art of LayeringImaxtree

Upturned collars are very much a thing. Pop the collar of your shirt and sport your favourite suit jacket or oversized coat. Effortless nonchalance guaranteed.
