HOW TO LAYER AUTUMN-WINTER LOOKS FOR 2025

Cocooning coats, cashmere jumpers, suede boots – cosy season is officially here. And if you’re looking to master the art of effortless layers, lean on our style guide for seasonal style tips.

LESSONS IN LAYERING

If you’re looking to take your autumn-winter outfits to the next level, layers are an easy way to add depth to your look. Think rich tones and textures, standout accents and alluring accessories.

HI-LO LAYERS

Looking for everyday polish? Opt for seasonal basics, elevated with one statement piece. Layer a cardigan over a knitted top, with jeans, boots and finished with a faux fur leopard coat

COMPLIMENTARY COLOURS

Embrace the colour of the year – mocha mousse – by pairing dark chocolate with oatmeal accents. Or for those who prefer more jewel tones, look to pops of amethyst, sapphire and ruby.

FABRIC FINESSE

Brushed finishes, Italian wool and cashmere, soft corduroy; textured fabrics add a unique focus point to your layered look. And for those who love to wear darker colours, try adding a silk blouse, boucle jumper or suede bag.

FINISHING TOUCHES

Cosy knit scarves – with a matching hat and gloves. Knee high boots. A chic, but always practical, umbrella. Elevate your look effortlessly with cold-weather appropriate accessories.

HOW TO DRESS FOR THE WEATHER

When it comes to seasonal style, it’s always a good idea to check the weather forecast. You don’t want to be caught in wintery showers wearing a wool coat and suede flats, equally – you wouldn’t want to be left in a padded jacket and chunky boots during a sunny afternoon.

RAINY SHOWERS

Opt for shower-resistant layers and leather boots.

STRONG WINDS

Dodge the cold in heat-storing puffer jackets and wooly extras.

SUNNY AND CRISP

Master everyday elegance with a tailored wool overcoat and denim jeans.

WARM AND DRY

Layer a lightweight trench coat over cropped trousers and suede shoes.

HOW TO LAYER: BY OCCASION

Through autumn and winter, myriad invites end up in the diary; the office Christmas party, the annual pub catch up, the end-of-year ball. And with frequent drops in temperature, layering continues to be a priority.

CASUAL LAYERS

Lean on relaxed knits, denim jeans, suede boots and cosy blanket scarves. 

DAY-TO-NIGHT LAYERS

Office hours to after hours: opt for slim-fitting knitted layers tucked into a short corduroy skirt. Finish with a knee high boot and trench coat

ELEGANT LAYERS

For sophisticated festive plans, choose a perennial tailored wool coat. Or if you’re looking to elevate your silk ball gown even further, lean into the luxury of a faux fur coat.

So whether you’ve found inspiration for an upcoming event or new coats to see you through winters to come, embrace a new sense of everyday ease with the art of layering.
