How to dress in layered clothing

This coming winter one of the predicted trends is that women will be dressing in layered clothing.  This has always been a popular trend not simply because it is nice to look at visually and you can combine lots of different colours or materials together, but it is also very useful at the beginning of the winter when the weather still hasn’t made up its mind as to whether it is going to blow cold or still be a little warm.

The problem for women is how to do it right.  Mixing lots of different garments together takes a bit of thinking about.

Well firstly the easiest way is to just stick to one colour like say burgundy with a touch of dark brown and if all the layers are in the same colour what you can play about with is their textures and materials.

Start off with a burgundy suede mini skirt, a voile burgundy blouse (not tucked in), a dark brown velvet waistcoat, a chunky dark brown leather belt with a large buckle or brooch that ties round you twice over your blouse, dark brown thigh boots in suede, a three quarter length burgundy coat and a long scarf that when slung round your neck reaches to the about the hem of your skirt.  Finish this off by playing around your neck several chains of varying lengths with coins and large baubles attached to them and you have completed the look.

This is the basis and now if you have a bit of colour sense you can start to be a bit more adventurous and try mixing different colours together which only requires a bit of artistic sense.

What is really hard to do is to mix different colours and different prints all at the same time, now that is quite a hard feat and unless you are an expert or a designer yourself I think it’s best not to try this one.
