Layering for Winters

Layering can feel a little tricky for you Winters, designed as you are to wear a smaller number of colours with clear contrast within your outfit. But don't overlook the power of layering. Use it to create a more natural feel to your outfit by layering shades of grey, or if you want to add a splash of colour without it taking over, go for a bottom layer in a bold pink or green and keep the rest of the outfit neutral.

Knitwear has always been tricky for Winters - so many brands make their knitwear in soft marled shades - but Kettlewell's full saturation knitwear colours are perfect, and can create the contrast you need.

The easiest and least challenging way to layer is to stick to tonal shades. The lack of different colours means you just can't go wrong. Make sure you add a long layer to peek out the bottom.

Start with a Long Vest Top in Electric Blue and Ponte Trousers in Navy. Add a Tasha Top in Sultry Navy and throw on an Alpaca Shawl in Greek Blue. Finish off with a Cashmere Gauze Stole in Navy

Getting bolder? Try adding some contrasting colours to your layers to add depth and interest to your look. This is a great way of adding a bright shade if you lack confidence doing large quantities of bright colours.

Start with a Silky Roll Neck in Mallard and Ponte Trousers in Charcoal. Layer a Merino Crossover in Festival Fuchsia.

The ultimate winter layering system - try adding more than one knitwear layer for style that keeps you cosy.

Start with a Cosy Merino Sweater in Bright Navy and your favourite jeans. Add a Merino Sleeveless Wrap in Deep Claret and top off with a Cashmere Gauze Stole in Winter Lobelia.

Layering can be a great way to add some colour to your workwear too - the sleeveless mock turtle is the perfect lightweight base layer.

Wear a Sleeveless Mock Turtle in Raspberry and a Grace Pencil Skirt in Navy. Layer over a Cotton Jersey Shirt in Nimbus and then add your Grace Jacquard Blazer in Navy.
