How To Style Winter Layers

Track pants are an undisputed staple for winter and currently it seems everyone and their dog has a pair, maybe even two or three.The comfort and warmth of track pants is well known but where they used to be reserved for cozying up at home, modern styling has made them a winter wearable for any occasion.Heading out? Style them up with a contrasting sharper top layer that adds dimension; an oversized winter jacket and a fitted tee or knitwear. Staying in? Get comfy in the full set of matching track pants and a hoodie or swap the hoodie for a flannel shirt and become a lounge room lumberjack. The versatility of track pants has kept them in rotation for this long and we doubt that’ll change anytime soon.

No winter outfit is truly complete without a jumper layered in there somewhere. From hoodies to quarter zips and fleeces to flannels. The spectrum of jumpers is wider than ever right now. With so many different types of jumpers available how do you decide on the right one and where to fit it into your outfit? At the end of the day the style of jumper is really down to personal preference. So let your inspiration and imagination take the wheel and go with what speaks to your style the most. A crew neck or sweater combined with a popped collar button up underneath for those in vogue looking to upstyle their office wear. A hoodie with a flannel shirt layered on top for extra warmth coming out of the surf. Even a mock neck or quarter zip to make the most of winter wandering in the mountains. There are endless combinations and no one jumper has a single purpose. Be inspired and be inventive because there’s no time like winter for testing out new style statements.

The ultimate winter jacket does it all; keeps you warm, dry and looking fresh under any circumstances no matter the conditions. Which jacket is that then? Well that is dependent mainly on where you are or plan on going. A winter jacket ideal for the Gold Coast would be less suitable in Torquay.For those of us at the northern end of the East Coast a shell spray jacket or windbreaker, as well as a reserve coach jacket or denim jacket would cover all winter conditions either on their own or when layered over a jumper. Whereas down south, battling the chill from Antarctic winds, would require a warmer thicker jacket.A sherpa corduroy jacket or puffer jacket, even a heavyweight workwear jacket or bomber jacket should keep you warm through the worst of winter.Of course all of these suggestions are interchangeable. Layering a coach jacket over a hoodie would provide equal or even more warmth than a sherpa jacket. These suggestions should be used as a guide but it's still your style to enjoy and express yourself.
