AUTUMN LAYERING

AUTUMN LAYERING

Autumn brings days when temperatures can shift from a cool morning to a mild afternoon. Layering is an easy way to create an autumn look that can be adapted throughout the day. With blouses, shirts, knitwear, cardigans, waistcoats and jackets, you have plenty of ways to combine your wardrobe in new ways and create a look that suits both the weather and your personal style.

When choosing clothes for layering, it’s not just about keeping warm. Different layers can also add character to your outfit and make it easy to give familiar favourites a fresh look throughout the season.

CHOOSE YOUR LAYERS FOR THE AUTUMN WEATHER

On mild autumn days, a blouse or shirt paired with a cardigan may be enough, while cooler days give you the option of adding a waistcoat or jacket. This makes it easy to add or remove a layer as the temperature changes.

When putting together layered outfits for cool autumn days, consider:

• Lightweight blouses and shirts as a comfortable base

• Cardigans and knitwear for warmth and a soft feel

• Waistcoats for an extra layer without feeling too heavy

• Lightweight jackets to complete the look on cooler days

Choose styles that also work well on their own. This gives you more ways to combine your wardrobe and makes it easy to adapt your autumn outfits from day to day.

CREATE A PERSONAL AUTUMN LOOK

Colours and patterns are a great way to add variety to your layered looks. Shades such as brown, beige, navy and muted greens can create a calm base, while a patterned shirt or blouse can bring more life to your outfit.

You can also repeat one colour across different parts of your look. This creates a sense of harmony, even when combining different fabrics. Denim, for example, can create a more relaxed look with soft knitwear, while a classic shirt and cardigan can give you a more polished look.

If you’re unsure how to layer for autumn, start with a few shades and let different fabrics, patterns and individual styles add variety. This creates a harmonious foundation that’s easy to make your own.

LAYERING FOR EVERYDAY WEAR, WORK AND WEEKENDS

One of the benefits of layering is that it works for many different occasions. For everyday wear, pair a simple blouse with an open cardigan and jeans or trousers. For a more classic work look, a shirt, knitwear and a lightweight jacket create a polished outfit that’s also practical throughout a long day.

For the weekend, choose a more relaxed combination of soft knitwear, a waistcoat and jeans. If you’re heading out for a walk or spending time outdoors, simply add a jacket as your outer layer. This way, the same styles can work across different plans and temperatures.
