Winter Outfits for Ladies: The Art of Layering to Stay Stylish and Keep Warm
Do the colder months have you reaching for the same, tired selection of bulky jerseys or leafing through catalogues for winter outfits for ladies but finding nothing? Break free from this seasonal style slump by mastering the art of layering for winter. Layering allows you to create looks that are both fashionable and functional. At Lu-May Exclusive Wear, we guide you on your path to becoming a winter layering pro by sharing some of our top tips that will ensure you stay warm and stylish all season long.
Layering Guidelines for Gorgeous Winter Outfits for Ladies
Layering for winter isn’t about throwing one long-sleeved t-shirt on over another. The style gurus at Lu-May Exclusive Wear highlight the basics of how to dress in layers first before unveiling the secrets to successfully stylish winter outfits for ladies.
- Keeping your body warm starts with trapping heat by wearing a base layer of clothing which can be a long top or camisole
- An inner layer insulates the top half of your body. This is usually a jersey, fleece, or, if preferred, a slightly flared yet figure-hugging top. A perfect example is our knitted Love Choc Ribbed Long Sleeve Top with a vintage 90s appeal.
- Ending the layers off is the outer layer, which is a baggy and cosy item such as a coat or cardigan that can be easily removed on warmer days such as a coat or hoodie.
Ditch the Winter Wardrobe Woes
Understanding the basics of layering forms the foundation for selecting the perfect winter outfits for ladies. These few winter wardrobe wearing tips will not only keep the frost at bay but will leave you looking stylish and chic.
- Wearing leggings under skirts and dresses
Just like a trusty sidekick, a good pair of leggings can become your best friend in the colder months. While thin tights or bare legs might suffice in summer, adding leggings beneath your favourite long dresses and skirts is a winning strategy for winter. Our All Night Leather Patchwork High Waist Leggings will keep you warm without sacrificing your unique style. Although this fashionable item can function equally well as a gorgeous pair of pants, it can offer coverage against the cold when worn under your dress or skirt as a secret extra layer.
- Fabrics can either make or break your winter coats
Conquering the chill comes down to the materials you choose. Some fabrics are best suited for winter whereas others are best left for warmer days. It is time to ditch the lightweight cotton layers, typically reserved for spring, and embrace winter in thicker, cosier materials like insulating wool and luxurious fleece. Think chunky, oversized woollen cardigans, like our Columbia Fuzzy Pocketed Knit Cardigan for timeless warmth and long fleecy winter coats that exude elegance. By selecting the right fabrics, you will create layers that are both functional and fashionable.
- Double down on warmth
Layering is all about building comfort and when it comes to winter outfits for ladies, two jerseys can be better than one. Start with our Alley Ribbed High Neck Long Sleeve top, creating a breathable layer that holds your body heat. Then layer on a loose plain or patterned sweater for an extra dose of warmth. This double-decker approach ensures you stay toasty without sacrificing style.
- Combat the chill from the ground up
When the temperatures start plummeting, banish the ankle bite by tucking your skinny jeans into knee-high boots that cover your extra-fluffy socks. Scarves are a staple in winter, adding extra warmth to your outfit. Our scarves add a pop of colour for a touch of personality that cuts through the often-gloomy winter palette.
