11 Easy Tips on How to Layer Clothes for Winter

1. Start with your cute fall outfit

I’m going to start with this simple skirt and t-shirt set. It’s a really cute outfit, but I need to do something with it, or else I’ll freeze!

2. Wear ballet tights

Instead of bare legs, or thin nylons, switch your leg wear to ballet tights in a neutral color.

They won’t distract from your outfit, but they will add warmth!

3. Add a sweater

Layer a neutral light sweater of your t-shirt, and tuck it in for extra style.

4. Wear socks for extra warmth

If it’s really cold where you live, then add a pair of wool-blend, over-the-knee socks over your tights.

5. Put on a jacket

A stylish leather jacket to top off your outfit is just the thing for extra warmth, and to cut the wind.

6. Here’s another layered look

I started with the same basic outfit as before, but this time I layered on a mock turtleneck sweater and tucked it in.

7. Add a tank top

Layer a tank top over your turtleneck. It’s a cute look, and easy to remove if you find yourself too hot.

Alternatively, if this isn’t really your style, you can put the tank top under your sweater.

8. Add your jacket

Finally, layer on your leather jacket to finish the look.

9.  When it’s really, really, freezing!

If it’s really freezing, but you still want to wear a skirt, put on some nice thick cotton tights.

There are also fleece-lined tights that you can get, that will keep you really toasty warm.

Double-up your foot warmth by adding a pair of mid-calf fleece-lined socks over your warm tights.

Because they are shorter than the socks used in step 4, they can be hidden under some boots and no-one will know you’re wearing them.

10. Finish with a chunky sweater

Put on a thick chunky sweater over your turtleneck and just give it half-tuck for style.

11. If you are still cold….

Add some fleece-lined leggings under your skirt.

And top off your whole outfit with a nice coordinating wool coat.
