Layering for Cold Weather: 7 Cosy Yet Cute Outfit Ideas

As much as the idea of venturing outdoors fills us with a certain kind of dread in the peak of winter, sometimes needs must (even when all we really want to do is stay where the sofa, hot drinks and blankets are. Right?).

Whether it’s a romantic wander around the park or an obligatory trip to the supermarket, dressing for minus two degrees doesn’t need to be as icy as your feelings towards breaking away from self-imposed hibernation. 

Likewise, if you have a skiing holiday lined up or are heading away to a cold country, it is possible to showcase the full scope of your capsule wardrobe while tackling those unpredictable new climates. How? Well, by layering your clothes, of course.

Although the prospect of layering for cold weather may initially sound like a chore, the good news is, you can do it in a way that is creative and stylish. It just requires a bit of careful consideration, depending on the occasion.

Layering for Cold Weather - 7 Cute Yet Cosy Outfits

1. For the Office

First things first, when dressing for the chillier months, who best to take inspiration from than the queen of winter ‘fits herself: Taylor Swift? Known for that scarf and her array of cosy long-line formal coats, taking a leaf out of Taylor’s book is a great way to keep warm and look cool over the Autumn/Winter season. 

For workdays in subzero temperatures, team your snug woolly accessory with a classic button-up shirt, similarly Taylor-esque cardigan, pleated skirt and heeled boots.

Oh, and don’t forget your tights in a heavier denier to keep your legs feeling extra toasty!

2. For Family Dinners

The ultimate family dinner to dancefloor combination? Step forward, the humble yet classic party dress, jumper and tights trio. 

This look cleverly conveys the fashion personality of each of its wearers, making it ideal for navigating the various social events that crop up around this time of year. Keep it traditional with a plush velvet dress under a cowl-neck jumper and over fair isle tights, getting the most out of your January sales purchases.

You can always swap your flats for stilettos and add to your makeup with winged liner and a bold lip as per AW21 beauty trends. Then — voilà — you’re ready to go OUT out after dinner.

3. For a Winter Walk or Sledding

There’s nothing more fun than grabbing a sledge and hot-footing it down to the nearest hill during snow days. To make sure you don’t freeze up and pay attention to layering for cold weather, throw on a midi-length coat over an on-trend, oversized hoodie.

In fact, being comfortably prepared for the great outdoors is super important. With this in mind, I’d suggest teaming this combo with a long-sleeved thermal top or t-shirt, thick joggers or sports leggings and faux-fur lined boots or wellies.

Bonus points for adding a beanie hat, scarf and gloves to keep the chill at bay for hours of play.

4. Lazy Weekends

For those delightfully lazy weekends where there’s nothing on your to-do list but to finish a good book and squeeze in a cheeky nap, chunky knitted cardigans are the only way to go. 

Paired with your favourite jeans, oversized joggers or knitted lounge trews and a slouchy t-shirt, this look can be levelled-up for any last-minute outdoor plans by adding some midi-heel suede boots. 

(Finding it difficult to switch off when you finally do get that hallowed bit of downtime? I don’t blame you given all the underlying uncertainty we’ve dealt with over the past couple of years. In this case, I’ve put together a guide on ways to unwind — thank me later!)

5. A Job Interview

As we move into “The Big Chill” post-Christmas, it’s good to be prepped for any life-changing opportunities that may be on the horizon.

For a unique way to marry both professionalism and warmth, try an oversized plaid blazer with a boxy blouse and trusty cigarette trousers for your next meeting. Then throw on a charming wool peacoat over the top for travelling there and back in style.

Keep jewellery to a minimum if you tend to wear a number of pieces, or sport one bold item to leave a memorable impact. Subtle small hoops and thin gold necklaces are a great combination for everyday interview attire.

6. For Bottomless Brunch

If you’re getting a tad bored of beige, beige and a side of beige, this twist on layering for cold weather may be for you. Simply team similar shades of the same colour palette in thick, block-coloured fabrics for an elevated aesthetic that’s effortlessly on-trend.

The truth is, you just can’t beat a blazer and jumper combo with high-waisted jeans for bottomless brunch with the girls or date night. Throw on an oversized scarf for those days when two layers just isn’t enough and add heeled boots to polish off your well-put-together winter ensemble.

7. Skiing

For those lucky enough to escape the country over the winter months, skiing is a common holiday pastime. And spoiler alert: those freezing cold temperatures are no joke.

I recommend keeping things bold and bright on the slopes, namely to be seen by other skiers for safety, but also to help you stay visible to your friend/family group. 

The first suggestion when skiing will always be a trusty all-in-one item, which is perfect for hiding a sneaky thermal piece or two underneath. Then finish off your “slope chic” aesthetic with some chunky socks and ski goggles to keep your eyes on the prize (and that mascara from running).

Layering for Cold Weather and Locking Down These Winter Outfits

Whatever the occasion, there’s something to keep you looking and feeling cosy yet on-point when it comes layering for cold weather this season. Jump out of your comfort zone with multiple layers, or keep it as classic as your nana’s Sunday roast dinner with a lower number of layers that are higher in thickness (and quality!).

Either way, don’t be afraid of throwing pieces together that you wouldn’t normally and mixing and matching the latest fashion trends for a fresh take on cold-weather style.

It’s shacket szn. 🍂 I love a good shacket f It’s shacket szn. 🍂 
I love a good shacket for those transitional autumn days when the temperatures are too chilly to leave the house without a jacket but too mild for your big winter coat. 💁🏼‍♀️ 
This one is from @marksandspencerstyle and I’ve had it years but it was such a great investment; I constantly rewear it during the cold months due to the fact that it’s super snugly and comfy. 🧸
I also recently bought the viral bag from @uniqloeurope - can confirm it’s as roomy, easy to throw on and comfy to wear as they say. 💃🏼
They do it in so many colours and multiple fabrics so I’m tempted to buy more! I’ll leave a link in my Story if you’re interested in having a peek. 👀 
Hope you’re having a great week so far. 🫶🏻

Summer in October 👻 These mild temperatures ar Summer in October 👻
These mild temperatures are taking me back to mine and hubby’s time in Chicago. 🏙️
I love Chicago - it’s got the same cool, exciting vibe as NYC but it’s much less touristy (and crowded)!
Here are some of my fave things to do downtown:
1. Shop along Michigan Ave
2. Willis Tower Observation Deck 👀 
3. The Bean/Millennium Park
4. Navy Pier 🌊 
5. Oak Street Beach
6. Eat deep dish pizza 🍕
…The last one’s the most important. Obv. 😋
Chicago is also magical at Christmastime with plenty of fun decorations, markets and festivities for all ages.
Until next time, Chi-town! 🇺🇸

So thankful for mine and hubby’s time away in Green Bay/Chicago - we had such a wonderful time catching up with family and friends, as well as spending some quality time together. 🥰
Now that we’re home and settled I realise that this trip is just what we both needed to switch off from the mudanities of everyday life and remind us what’s truly important.
There’s nothing like spending time in another country thousands of miles away to give you some perspective!
I’m already looking forward to heading back to the States in December for my mum’s 60th birthday. 🇺🇸 
Until then, it’s been real, ‘Murica! ✌🏻

3 Transitional autumn looks 🍁 It’s that time 3 Transitional autumn looks 🍁
It’s that time of year again. The evenings are getting darker earlier, the mornings are crisper, and the warm sunshine is being replaced by cooler, overcast days as the leaves slowly begin to fall. 🍂
You can no longer leave the house without a jumper or a jacket, and your summer wardrobe is gradually being pushed aside so you can adapt to the change of seasons. 
Hello, autumn. I’ve missed you! 🥰
But, oh how tricky it is trying to dress right now when the temperatures are so up and down. Layering is key, so you can quickly remove or add a layer whenever you need to. 👌🏻
Here are 3 of my fave transitional looks as we head into the autumn season. 🎃

Wellness girl era ✨ I’ve been going through s Wellness girl era ✨
I’ve been going through something since I turned 33. A transformational shift. I feel like the things that once mattered to me don’t matter as much anymore.
My priorities are changing. I no longer want to do the same old stuff; my spirit of adventure and longing for new experiences has very much been reignited.
I’m entering my wellness girl era.
What does this mean? Quite simply, I’m swapping healthier habits and actions for the less healthy habits and actions I used to have.
Maybe it’s off the back end of the pandemic, maybe it’s because I’m getting older or maybe it’s just because I’m realising that another year has gone by and if I don’t take care of myself now then it could have detrimental effects in the future.
But basically, I want to do better and be better. I’m all about being healthy, well and happy, and setting goals that will help me to achieve this.
And since the term “wellness girl era” is currently going viral on TikTok, clearly, other women in my age group are feeling the same way.
