Layering season
As temperatures drop and winter approaches, your wardrobe is challenged to be both stylish and functional. Fortunately, layering – the art of dressing in multiple layers – gives you the opportunity to express your personal style while staying warm.
Layer-on-layer styling is not just a winter necessity, but also an opportunity to create depth, texture, and visual interest in your outfits. It's about combining different materials and silhouettes to achieve a thoughtful, sophisticated look – while staying comfortable.
The brands we carry, such as Khaite, Toteme and The Row, are known for their clean lines and timeless aesthetic, and fit perfectly into a well-executed layering look.
Layering suggestion with Toteme
1. Start with the base layer
A good base is crucial for successful layering. Go for a light and close-fitting layer such as a Toteme tank top, a cashmere turtleneck from Soft Goat, or a light t-shirt from The Row. These garments are comfortable against the skin and provide a clean foundation to build upon.
2. Play with textures
When adding layers, it's important to mix textures to give the outfit depth. Combine soft materials like wool and cashmere with coarser elements like leather or tweed. A leather jacket over a chunky knit sweater creates a perfect balance of luxury and edge.
3. Add a structured jacket or an elegant coat
The outer layer should not only protect against the elements but also make a statement. A structured coat from The Row, a leather jacket from Khaite, or a minimalist coat from Phoebe Philo are ideal choices. Also, try oversized silhouettes for a modern look – they allow you to wear multiple layers underneath without feeling restricted.
Color usage in Layering
When it comes to colors, you can either go for a tone-on-tone palette or use contrasts to create a dynamic look. Neutral tones like beige, gray, and cream are a classic base that always works, and can easily be combined with bolder colors like burgundy or deep green.
For a more modern approach, try incorporating colorful elements like a colorful scarf, gloves, or a handbag – this gives the outfit a playful touch without compromising elegance.
