The Base Layer

Choose a lightweight basic tee or buttoned shirt in a neutral or solid tone as your under layer. If the day warms up, you will always have the option of removing your other layers.

Lightweight Knitwear

For your second layer consider a lightweight jumper. Merino Wool, Cashmere or Mohair knitwear is perfect for layering as it warms the body without adding bulk. They also work perfectly over a shirt making them suitable to wear to the office.

Cardigans

Possibly the ultimate layering piece, cardigans are great to wear during the Autumn months and can also be worn underneath a coat. Choosing a cardigan with texture to add versatility to your outfit.

Outerwear

As the chill sets in, complete your outfit with outerwear that elevates. A classic wool coat or tailored trench brings structure and warmth. For something more relaxed, a softly padded jacket offers comfort and modern edge. Think of your coat as the finishing layer that ties the look together.

Print Dresses

The best part of layering is it allows you to utilise many items in your wardrobe, including your favourite print dresses. You can wear them under a leather jacket or chunky knit and finish the look off with boots.
