This is one of the best times of the year for fashion, because the weather has cooled down a bit so you can experiment with layering, but it’s not so cold that your stylish outfits are completely hidden under a coat. Here are some of our ideas for what to layer underneath your winter coat to keep you warm.
Essential Cami, $21.99 from Autograph (left), Bodycode Curve Tank, $24.49 from Farmers (centre), Longline Vest, AUD $16.00 from Yours Clothing (right).
Tank tops are an absolute wardrobe essential, especially over autumn and winter. Wear them fitted and don’t be afraid to tuck them in, because it will help keep you warm! If you’re looking for longline options, Farmers and Yours Clothing have some great options.
ASOS Curve Long Sleeve Body, $20.93 from ASOS (left), Sonsee Long Sleeve Bodysuit, $77.00 from Zebrano (centre), Sonsee Long Sleeve Slip, $79.00 from Sama + Kiki (right).
Bodysuits and slips are great to layer underneath things – they’re warm but they’re quite a thin layer. There are a lot of different kinds of bodysuits out there – you can keep it plain or go for details like straps or choker necklines. Don’t be afraid to add in a bit of colour here too.
ASOS DESIGN Curve Top With 3/4 Sleeves And Sweetheart Neck, $22.03 from ASOS (left), Missguided Curve Ribbed Long Sleeve Top, $17.95 from Missguided (centre), ASOS DESIGN Curve Ultimate Top with Long Sleeve and V-Neck, $17.62 from ASOS (right).
Long sleeved or 3/4 sleeve tops can be layered over tanks or bodysuits, and under jumpers or kimonos. Cropped styles are popular at the moment – we definitely recommend a bodysuit or a tank under those to keep out the chill.
17 Sundays Woven Slouch Kimono, AUD $45.00 from Birdsnest (left), Rebel Wilson Pleated Back Trench, $223.00 from Zebrano (centre), River Island Plus Floral Print Kimono, $110.14 from ASOS (right).
Want to add a bit of colour or texture to your outfit? Kimonos and sheer pieces aren’t just for summer – layer them over jeans and a top for a casual look, or ponte pants and a bodysuit for something a bit more dressy. Easy!
V Neck Heart Jumper, $64.99 from Autograph (left), Sara Lambswool V Neck Jumper, $79.99 from EziBuy (centre), Neapolitan Stripe Jumper, $99.90 from K&K (right).
A lot of plus size knit jumpers tend to be quite thin, but that can make them great for layering underneath coats. It also doesn’t mean that they’re not warm so don’t discount them! Keep an eye out for materials like lambswool and merino as those are both lightweight and insulating.
