Go for the right colours and designs

I am very intentional about the colours of pieces I pick these days. Going for the right colours to complement your natural tone is so important. Having hoodies in the right shades and designs means you are always good to go, since they are super easy to dress up or down. I like to shop for quality pieces in the right colours to complement my natural shade. Some of my favourite colours are black, midnight blue, chocolate brown, olive green, and the likes. Having hoodies in these colours makes dressing up super easy especially on lazy days.

Play with accessories

I like to play with big and bold accessories when I style a hoody. The right accessories always level up the look and keep the styling fresh and trendy. Big hoop earrings, bold necklaces and bracelets are some examples of accessories to add to finish up the look. The bigger and bolder, the better!

Opt for Pullover Hoodies

Pullover hoodies are more stylish than zipped hoodies. Most of my hoodies are pullover hoodies and i find that they look more put together unliked the zipped hoodies. If you rather go for zipped hoodies, a nice way to style them is to have a t-shirt underneath and leave the hoody unzipped for a sleeker look.

When it comes to the autumn/winter season, my favourite part is the layering trend. I find it super stylish; the trend allows me play with different looks and designs, which is always fun. With the current chilly weather, I have been busy playing with different winter layering favourites, here are some of my current favourites –

Stylish Scarves

When it comes to layering, I always finish up my look with a nice comfy scarf. Scarves have an amazing way of switching up any look, and I’m such a huge fan. If you are looking for easy ways to stock up on winter layering favourites, this is a nice place to start.

Scarves are a nice accessory to have on, I have quite a collection and I am always looking to add more. Having scarves in different colours, fabrics and designs, means that you would always have a piece when you need it.

A Comfy Coat/Jacket

To enjoy the whole layering process, it is important to ensure you have fab options for stylish and comfy coats or jackets. The art of layering is only a success when you get the outerwear right, so make sure you have this bit sorted. Shop around and try out different pieces to get the right ones for your layering needs. You want a comfy coat/jacket that would allow you layer conveniently, and look great.

I like to have a few coats and jackets in different styles and coats for various occasions. This helps me in creating trendy autumn/winter looks.

Light Tops

For layering, the lighter pieces stay underneath and the bulkier pieces stay on top. So it is a great idea to have stylish light tops to have underneath a cardigan or blazer.  I like to go for light long sleeve cotton tops in different colours and styles. They are super comfy and stylish, amazing to have on.

Stylish Cardigans

Investing a bit more on stylish cardigans is also a great way to step up your layering art and fully embrace the autumn/winter season. Having a few cardigans for various occasions is always a great idea.

As with everything else, I always recommend going for quality over quantity.

Layering Tips for Autumn

October 1, 2024 By in Fashion Tags: , , , , , Leave a comment

It’s October and the layering season is now upon us! I love autumn a lot! It is one of my favourite seasons, especially in fashion and style. The weather is cool enough to still play around with pieces and layer nicely but allows you to show a bit of skin when required. Having said that, I am missing the sunny days already. It felt like summer just breezed past us. We blinked and the seasons changed…

When it comes to playing dress up, autumn is the season for that. Layering is the theme of the season and I have been busy in the last few days getting my wardrobe ready to slay. If you are wondering how to go about layering this season, here are some layering tips for autumn to help you hone your styling skills.

Keep it simple with a base, mid, and outer layer

There’s no need to overthink or overcomplicate things when it comes to layering. You need 3 layers (base, mid, and outer) to nail your look.

  • The base layer – this is the foundation of your look. For this layer, you could opt for a vest, camisole, or long-sleeve top. This should be comfortable and functional, and what you choose should depend on the overall look you are going for.
  • The mid layer – this piece goes over the base layer. You could go for comfy cardigans, light jumpers, knitwear dresses, and sweaters. This layer is important because it is usually the main character of your look. So pay extra attention to the piece you go for and ensure it looks the part.
  • The outer layer – this is usually the outerwear, so a well-tailored coat, or a padded jacket. Comfort is key here, so I always recommend stylish outerwear that is pretty and functional for utmost comfort.

Layering is super easy once you have different pieces in various styles and colours for each layer. Like with most things in life, less is more. You don’t have to go on a shopping spree to layer correctly. The first step is to have a look at the autumn/winter pieces you do have and shop to fill in the gaps in your wardrobe.

Also, you could wear some of your spring/summer pieces for longer by styling them as base layers in creative ways. For example, you could wear your light dress over a turtleneck sweater.

Whatever you do, the basic rule of layering is to keep it light and simple, as you stay stylish and toasty. Hope you find these layering tips for autumn useful. Happy styling!
