Layering for spring is something to celebrate. With the weather still a little on the unpredictable side, naturally it pays to consider warmth, but the overall look is less about keeping cosy, and more about wearing all your favourite new season staples at once.
Much like cooler seasons, there’s some simple rules to stick to. Do consider colours when mixing-and-matching, be sure to avoid anything too bulky and stick to a maximum of three separates at one time when executing your spring layered look.
Here’s how to get it right.
More is more
The silky camisole and roll neck knit make for quite the stylish combination when matched-up. Throw in a tan suede button-up maxi shirt, ankle-grazing jeans, a pair of black fishnet socks and the Gucci loafers of the season and you’ve got yourself a winning look.
The simple slip is a power player
Sometimes the simplest things are the best, and this rule also applies here. Take your cue from DKNY and match a basic white tee with a silky slip dress for an understated look. Add interest with a wrap around belt, a red lip and gold hoops.
Have fun with your sleeves
Consider the sleeve to be the new neckline. Here is where all the fun happens. Choose oversized cuffs, silk swishy ruffle styles to be worn under blazers, or go for added volume and opt for something with plenty of puff. Wear under jumpsuits, fine knit sweaters and midi dresses.
The trouser tunic combo
Dip your toe in the trend and start small with a floaty frock worn over trousers. Cropped or flared trouser styles work best and always stick to contrasting tones.
Wear eveningwear as outerwear
The adventurous option for dedicated layering fans. That sports-style zip-top should be teamed with your A-line evening midi, a fluid trench coat and a pair of punchy heels.
Slip something strapless over your shirt
There’s a new way to wear your bandeau top, and that’s over your workwear shirt. The pairing is one of the chicest looks for Spring, plus, you’ll get extra mileage from your favourite party pieces. Shirts can be printed, oversized and untucked, while strapless tops should be form-fitting and in neutral shades.
Experiment with length
For spring, the tuxedo jacket takes on a new guise. Whether it’s sleeveless and longer in length or a classic mid-length cut, when worn over a utility-style maxi dress with cropped trousers and heels it’s an elegant way to tackle spring layering.
