The rules of the so called layering? If you still associate it with the old onion look, you are off the track. Fashion shows and street style teach: a few basic items , a lot of inventiveness in overlapping . Because stratification today is not just a ploy to survive sudden changes in climate, but above all an intentional way of dressing. To compete in style and not end up looking like Joey from Friends , you need to arm yourself with confidence and skill. And get ready to abandon the old “seasonal” mentality forever: the ultimate goal is to create new winter looks thanks to creative layers that go beyond the simple coat and sweater, for a warm, comfortable and elegant final result.Here's how to tackle the tough competition of layering in winter, in 5 steps.
Maximum 4 pieces (slim)
The ace in the hole? Dress in light layers. To follow the cardinal rule of layering, it is necessary to start from a breathable, comfortable and form-fitting base. This main source of heat will be superimposed on one another thin garments. Seems easier said than done? Indeed, it is. For beginners, it is better to opt for clothing on a weight and length scale. Never exceed 4 layers: a surefire trick to not look clumsy. Any additional extras are superfluous, and will only add unwanted centimeters. A smart and trendy idea to copy to street style? Start with a fitted turtleneck, continue with a masculine shirt and define the look with an oversized blazer. Complete your layered winter outfit with an enveloping and not very voluminous outerwear, such as a technical trench coat or a cashmere coat.

Slip dress + turtleneck
Nobody masters the art of layering like stylists. With the holidays approaching, flimsy slip dresses are a must, but they can be tricky to wear in cold weather. If the heavy coat option is still valid , the risk of freezing once you get to the umpteenth party is very high. For autumn winter 2019/2020 Fendi proposes a lifesaving winter look: even the most delicate dress can become hot with the addition of an ad hoc lower layer, such as a tight-fitting turtleneck. To be preferred, garments in synthetic mesh that keep warm, do not add volume and are well suited to the occasion. On the feet, a pair of high boots as the seasonal trends dictate. To still be sensual, while remaining completely covered.

Sweater on sweater
Take your warmest, tightest shirt and wear it under a loose sweater. This simple layering rule is one of the most popular in street style. The winning combinations? The turtleneck that peeps out under the pullover, or the crewneck worn under the cardigan . Two weights and two sizes: the first layer is thin and light, the second with a maxi cut and a full-bodied fabric. Attention to nuances: a clean and minimalist color palette simplifies the mix and makes the layered outfit more modern. In order not to be mistaken, opt for knitwear overlays in shades of gray and brown, starting from the lightest tone to get to the darkest one. And for those who want to dare a little more, it is better to play the card of contrasting accessories: a pair of chunky sneakers, a statement bag.
