The layering look: once practical, now cool

Layering now sounds like a new fashion trend that someone in Paris or Milan came up with and wants to revolutionize the fashion industry. Well, it's actually not that glamorous. Because, which we were forced into as children so as not to freeze. It didn't look really cool, it was just practical. These are layering looks, the modern name for the layering system, which is still the case today. Only one thing has changed: With cool, coordinated layers, layering looks can now even look very casual. If you know how to do it, they can even be used as stylish winter jacket alternatives. Luckily we have a few ideas about this.

These 3 layering looks are the perfect winter jacket alternative

In case you still haven't quite figured it out, whatActually, here's the idiot-proof version: you put different clothes on top of each other and that's pretty much it. This gives you warmth and even looks really cool when put together correctly. And the best thing is: This means we can safely delay the time until we really need a winter jacket. So how do we go about layering looks? We would have prepared something depending on the occasion:

1. Layering in chic

Onion looks in elegant? Of course it works! You just have to know how best to design the smart layering look. We would always start with the underlayer. This can be a T-shirt, a long-sleeved shirt or, if it's particularly tacky, even a thin turtleneck. Next comes a shirt and then either another shirt on top (then the bottom shirt is buttoned all the way up) or a cozy intermediate layer in the shape of oneor a sweater. If it's still not enough, you can add a blazer or slip into a coat straight away. Coats are the perfect outer layers for elegant onion looks. You shouldn't feel cold in there anymore? and the winter jacket can stay in the closet for a few more weeks.

  • Use muted colors, ideally working from light (underlayer) to dark
  • Use thin intermediate layers made of high-quality materials (e.g. cashmere cardigans)
  • Work from tight and short cuts to loose and wide

2. Layering in casual

For relaxed everyday layering is one? or whatever innovative material it is made of? essential. You put on a few layers underneath, but the most important thing is the layer in front of the vest. It should be a thick knitted sweater or a high-quality cardigan that keeps you warm. After all, he is responsible for ensuring that your arms don't fall off because of the cold. Don't forget a hat and scarf, you can do whatever you want at the bottom (if in doubt: jeans), at the bottom you can wear weather-appropriate footwear (if in doubt: boots). Perfect for everyday layering.

  • Get a high-quality vest that is well insulated
  • Do not wear it when it rains, otherwise the knit will felt
  • Alternatively, you can use a thin vest as an intermediate layer, for example under coats

3. Layering in cool

Before we let you start layering, we have one last layering idea for you, which is one thing above all: pretty cool. The centerpiece of this onion look is a sweater that is used as a casual intermediate layer. We layer things underneath (e.g. long sleeves, shirts, turtlenecks) and, if necessary, we also put on more sweaters on top and, of course, a jacket. We particularly like the combination of shirt,and coat because she somehow looks relaxed and still shows style. Of course, you can wear whatever you want on top of each other, as long as it fits together reasonably well and is warm without making a press sausage out of you. But if you still start to freeze at some point, there is really no way around a thick winter jacket. At least you gave it your all.

  • For thick clothing, reduce layers
  • Hoods don't look cool with every jacket if they hang out at the back
  • Choose a loose outer layer
