Scroll through our picks and be sure to share your winter layering tricks in the comments section.
Faux Fur Scarf
Ted Baker Tesha Faux Fur Scarf ($145)
This is the perfect way to spice up any boring outfit and add a contrasting colour and texture to your getup.
Shrimps Ivana Faux-Fur Scarf ($207)
Blanket Wrap Scarf
ASOS 2 Tone Twill Oversized Scarf ($30)
We’re all about the drape-y look this season. Besides, who wouldn’t want an excuse to wear a blanket outside of the house?
Equipment Miranda Scarf ($298)
Thick Cardigan
Raquel Allegra Fringe Poncho ($650)
Pile on the outerwear while outdoors, and then strip down to a cardigan over a tee once you’re within the safe confines of artificial heating!
H&M Wide Cut Mohair-Blend Cardigan ($35)
High Socks
Topshop Twisted Yarn Over the Knee Socks ($14)
High socks look great just over the top of your boots and more importantly, they’ll keep your toes nice and toasty.
Base Range Over-the-Knee Ribbed Stretch Cotton-Blend Socks ($18)
Poncho or Cape
Zara Wool Cape ($169)
Ponchos and capes have a loose fit so that you can puff yourself up with an added ten pounds of layers underneath and still look on-trend.
Isabel Marant Etoile Raquel Patchwork Turtleneck Poncho Sweater ($339)
Turtleneck Tee
Twenty Knit Turtleneck ($98)
Invest in a turtleneck tee to ensure that your neck is nice and snug all winter long! These babies look good with anything—under a sweater and sleeveless dress, or simply on their own.
J. Crew Tissue Turtleneck Tee ($34)
Sweater Dress
Reformation Hazel Dress ($138)
A good sweater dress has all the answers. It’s the easiest way to show a little leg and stay cosy at the same time.
Humanoid Mud Hit Sweater Dress ($437)
Faux Leather Leggings
Mango Faux Leather Leggings ($60)
These are great because they feature a thick material with a snug fit that will keep your stems from freezing. They’re also some of the only pants we can think of that you can wear under a dress or skirt for an alluring look in winter.
Zara Trousers with Zips ($80)
Oversized Flannel
Current/Elliot The Prep School Shirt in Cabin Plaid ($198)
There’s a reason that the lumberjacks wear these, guys. Oversized flannels are cosy, and look great unbuttoned over denim jackets and under coats.
Madewell Ex-Boyfriend Shirt in Dean Plaid ($88)
