As the days get shorter – and colder – here are three ways to layer up without compromising your style

The simple act of layering clothes may seem easy enough at first, but putting it into practice – and doing it well – is a whole other ball game. With that in mind, here are three easy and wearable ways to transcend the seasons in style.

1) Add a gilet

For a few seasons now, well-dressed men have been donning the gilet with everything from a suit to a hoodie, and now it’s your turn to try the same. Whether you choose to pair it with smart-casual weekday gear or wear it with your favourite two-piece and overcoat, the gilet is a failsafe option that blends function and style.

2) Double up on lightweight jackets

For days where the weather’s still mild but there’s a chill in the air, pair together two lightweight jackets. The perfect combination? A classic mac with a Harrington underneath – and don't be afraid to mix up colours.

3) Mix and match luxe fabrics

For freezing days that are almost too much to bear, mix and match your most luxurious fabrics. Pair thick overcoats with cashmere jumpers and wool suits for a triple threat of warmth and get ready to face winter’s coldest days with a tailored edge.
