How to ADD LAYERS to your outfits this winter season

With the temperatures dropping there is no better time to get a quick tip on how add layers your outfits this winter season. Using multiple layers not only will keep you warm but it is a great way to look awesome.

If you follow this quick guide you are guaranteed to look your best and stay warm this season.

A Perfect Rainy Day Outfit with Three Layers

The Three Basic Layers

Let’s focus on the Shirt, Sweater and Sport Jacket.

The Shirt

We will start with a solid colored shirt with a nice crisp collar. Using a solid shirt will allow us to get more creative with the layers and also keep the look super sharp.

My top two choices when it comes to the color of the shirt are: white and light blue. You can check a great article regarding the top 10 shirts to own from Dappered.com

The Sweater

Here is where I like to get creative but at the same time keep it simple. I like choosing a pattern for the sweater to give it some life. I don’t like to layer all solid colored pieces, it just doesn’t look as nice as putting some color and pattern into the outfit.

The Sport Jacket

A must have item in any men’s closet is a navy spot jacket. This piece can be used for multiple looks and its one of the most versatile items you can own. It can be dressed down or up depending on the occasion.

Here I’m wearing a cashmere jacket that is super comfortable and also looks great. Im able to use it on top of a light sweater for a more put together look.
