09 Nov, 2016 | Savile Row
HOW TO LOOK MORE INTERESTING – ADD A LAYER button-down-shirts Slightly bewildered by the chat about ‘layering’ your outfits? Not quite sure what it actually means? Never fear, most men are struggling! Our goal is to sort that, pass on a few fail-safe tips and give you the easiest and most stylish entry into winter. THE PRACTICAL PART
  • Each visible layer should be something you could wear on its own.
  • Layers should go from thin to thicker.
  • Scale your patterns from subtle to strongest.
  • Layering includes accessories too.
  • Start with two colors.
  • Combine collar types.
NOW TO THE STYLE
  • Standard shirt and chinos or trousers can look too 'safe'. Add something else & you’re ahead of the game.
  • Do that & even with 3 or 4 layers – you’ll still look smart if you remove a layer.
  • This can work in either direction –plain on top or vice versa.
  • A smart watch, a luxury scarf adds character and interest.
  • Try shades of your main color and then add a 2nd color for accent.
  • This showcases your layering expertise.
