Slightly bewildered by the chat about ‘layering’ your outfits? Not quite sure what it actually means? Never fear, most men are struggling! Our goal is to sort that, pass on a few fail-safe tips and give you the easiest and most stylish entry into winter.

THE PRACTICAL PART

  • Each visible layer should be something you could wear on its own.
  • Layers should go from thin to thicker.
  • Scale your patterns from subtle to strongest.
  • Layering includes accessories too.
  • Start with two colours.
  • Combine collar types.

NOW TO THE STYLE

  • Standard shirt and chinos or trousers can look too 'safe'. Add something else & you’re ahead of the game.
  • Do that & even with 3 or 4 layers – you’ll still look smart if you remove a layer.
  • This can work in either direction –plain on top or vice versa.
  • A smart watch, a luxury scarf adds character and interest.
  • Try shades of your main colour and then add a 2nd colour for accent.
  • This showcases your layering expertise.
