Let me show you how to master layering without feeling bulky.

  1. Start with a lightweight base layer:
    A thin thermal top or fitted turtleneck is the perfect foundation. It keeps you warm without adding unnecessary bulk.

  2. Add a cozy mid-layer:
    Think sweaters, cardigans, or a chic vest. This is where you can add color or texture to your outfit to make it more interesting.

  3. Choose a tailored coat:
    A structured wool coat or a puffer with a belt will keep you warm and create a polished silhouette.

  4. Accessorize with style:
    Scarves, hats, and gloves are practical and great for adding personality. Try a bold scarf or a beanie with a fun texture!

  5. Finish with the right boots:
    Winter boots don’t have to be clunky. Sleek knee-high or stylish ankle boots with a good grip complete the look.


Layering doesn’t have to be boring or bulky. You can stay warm and chic with the right pieces even on the coldest January days. Need some help putting your winter wardrobe together? Schedule a Styling Hour—I’d love to help you create outfits you feel amazing in!
