5 Essential tips to creating a slay worthy winter look.

1. Keep your layers crisp

Layering is essential in winter, but getting it right isn’t easy. The trick is to stick to thinner layers, add at least three of them. Your best bet is to opt for a close-fitting base layer to avoid adding bulk to your look. For example, add a camisole and thick winter tights to keep your legs and torso warm then wear the rest of your outfit over this.

2. Colourful accessories to brighten up your day

Since the basic winter colour palette is usually neutral – boasting an array of greys and browns – you definitely can’t go wrong by using a brightly coloured accessory or two to liven up your look. The look works with everything from gloves and hats to scarves and boots!

3. Try different textures

Winter fashion features a host of textures, from corduroy and suede to knits and leather. Because layering is the order of the day, you can take your look to new heights by adding in items already in your closet among the layers. For example, wear a lace blouse over your thermals for a look that’s warm, but texturally diverse.

5. Let your boots and coat do the talking
