Street Style – Layering

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Leeds chapter.

Often we sacrifice style for comfort in the winter months due to our desire to stay warm, however this doesn’t have to be the case! Everyone can dress well and keep warm, just embrace the trend of layering. Don’t just stick to the same old jumper and jeans combination. I took to the streets of Leeds to find people with great winter style.

The street style shows great examples of how to layer your winter clothes in a fashion forward way. They all embrace the layering trend and accessorize to show their own style. The first image is a perfect example of how to wear colour in winter, her pink Topshop coat is unexpected and refreshing. This street style should inspire you to find that perfect winter coat!

Must-Have Layering Pieces

Skinny Jeans: it is essential to choose a pair of jeans that go with most things in your wardrobe, colours like black or dark blue are always a safe option. Quick tip: jeans are more of an investment buy so maybe splash out and spend more money on them to ensure you get a great fit. A great pair of jeans can be styled in many different ways and can easily take you from day to night, whether it is lunch with the girls or a night out.

Thin wool sweater: can be worn with a shirt underneath to create a preppy style or just on its own with a pair of jeans for the classic look. A cashmere sweater is both practical and fashionable; this versatile layering piece will never go out of style. The key to the layering trend is to use classic staple wardrobe pieces, all of which will never go out of style.

A Bright-Colour Coat: often our colour pallet in regards to our fashion choices can be dull in winter. This is why a colourful coat can instantly revitalise your winter style and give your wardrobe a new lease of life.
