Layering doesn’t only keep you warm – it can elevate your outfit into a ‘look’

TriLayering

Are you tri-layering? Trust me, you need to be. This is not just a trend – it is a life hack. Layering in threes is a brilliant formula for winter dressing. Three layers are warmer than two, and more comfortable than one. It is cosy but civilised. It has flair without being frenetic.

Wearing three layers instead of two elevates an outfit from run of the mill to a “look”. A shirt under a blazer is unremarkable; a shirt and a V-neck knit under a blazer is preppy chic. A long-sleeve T-shirt under an open shacket (shirt jacket, come on) is blah; add a fine-knit polo neck under the T-shirt and shacket, on the other hand, and suddenly you’re dressed for a romcom meet-cute over hot chocolate.
