Plummeting temperatures and unpredictable snowfalls demand warmer clothes. For many women, a typical winter outfit involves more shudder-worthy bunching and unprecedented bulging than the desired streamline goddess look. From unflatteringly baggy coats to frumpy chunky boots, it sometimes seems like staying stylish as the first freeze of winter approaches is impossible. Nevertheless, there are actually plenty of ways to tactfully layer clothing for a flattering finished result without sacrificing protection from the dreaded winter chill.

Here is how you layer fashionably and fabulously:

Step 1:
First and foremost, choose a comfortable yet flattering camisole. You should aim to find at least two styles of camisole. Some people opt for bright colours to wear over their bra, in order to add a touch of colour to the day. Regardless, it is imperative that your chosen camisoles have a little stretch; this will ensure that they skim your body rather than cling to it. Furthermore, too much lace or other decorations may show through the next layer, therefore plainer cuts and styles are usually best. Depending on how cold your environment is you may even want to wear more than one camisole at a time, possibly varying lengths and colours.

Step 2:

Search for the perfect t-shirt. Layer a close fitting t-shirt over your camisole. Again, something with some stretch will be the most flattering because you will be wearing at least a couple more layers over it and don’t want to appear too bulky. For a trendy look, choose a t-shirt that’s slightly shorter than your camisole so that part of the camisole peeks out. Aim for winning colour combinations, like black & white, bright red & violet, brown & forest green.

Step 3:

Next purchase a long-sleeve. Select a sleek long-sleeve top that doesn’t bunch or ride up over your bottom layers. The top can have buttons or be button less, but the key is to maintain the slimmest profile possible, a fitted shirt is always popular. Keep in mind the neckline of the tee you have on underneath, too. Concealing the bottom t-shirtâ??s neckline is generally prettier than leaving it exposed. Furthermore, if you want to be even warmer you can fetch a sleeveless layer to put over your long-cardigan or your stylishly warm chunky knitwear, like Gilets or body warmers for example. Gilets in particular have plenty of insulation and slip on and off with ease, no fuss!

Step 4:

Finally, the great thing about winter is that you have many more opportunities to accessorize. Pull out you trusty hats scarves and gloves, but donâ??t stop there. Look out your favourite jewellery and purchase some snazzy tights to finish off your winter look to perfection!

Always remember that the layering and accessorising is simply the icing of a very well decorated cake, so be creative and have fun with it!
