Dos & Don’ts

  • Make sure you layer over your summer dress to avoid the stuffy bulked look & give a rather outgoing winter chic.
  • Couple your scarves with cardigans or some considerable layers to keep in the warmth & keep the hefty fabrics on top, while the slimmer ones layered underneath.
  • Avoid the same patterns for different layer pieces to maintain the contrast.
  • Keep in mind the necklines of the layers you try to mix & match, for the wrong shape can downplay the entire look
  • Keep in mind your body shape before you choose your layering style, fabrics & cuts for the mix & match.
  • Try to create a colour contrast for each of the layers to add that dash of pop & colour to the look.
  • A shorter top layer goes great with your dress, bringing out both their highlights & adding that much needed twist.
  • Try putting up with neutrals in at least one layer to match-up with almost all your other pieces.

So what are you waiting for? Keep in mind these simple hacks, get your classics to go with your summer dress & create the prefect layer-up for winters!
