In the infamous words of Mary Berry “It’s all about those layers”. At WSd, we
use layers to beat the unpredictable weather and to keep your favourite
purchases current and wearable, all year round…
The weather app is probably selected more
frequently at the moment than beloved Instagram. Yet it is quite frankly as
unreliable as its very subject. The solution to this daily problem is already
hanging perfectly poised in all its whimsical glory…your fave summer playsuit.
Don’t banish this little beauty to the back of the wardrobe to a lonely life of
winter hibernation, instead, wear it over a thin long sleeved top. Vero Moda ease this transition to AW
with their Sunset Funnel neck jumper, which provides an oh so desired cosiness but is thin enough to act
as a base layer. Mink Pink’s Pretty
Petals ruffle playsuit, with its V neck and short sleeves would make an
ideal partner and teamed with a pair of luxurious opaque tights (we <3 DP’s)
makes for an instant seasonal update! To toughen up the look, add flat boots
such as Sol Sana Eddie with detachable harness. Finish
with your favourite leather bag. The Sunset Funnel neck also looks great under
strappy negligée type dresses, over summer dresses and with tube skirts. An
all-rounder!

The cape may not have been Madonna’s greatest
ally at the Brits, but it is most certainly ours this AW. It is ultra-wearable
and allows complete freedom of movement which a chunky coat may not. The Vero Moda Dagmar cape comes in a bevy
of autumnal shades and is an effortless throw-on staple. Why not layer on a
couple to build up warmth, colour and your cape kudos. Counterbalance the soft
wool with a pair of Vero Moda PU biker
leggings to add some toughness to your swooshing cape power and show the
world you mean business.

Crop tops were a huge look this SS and they’re sticking around to see us through AW
in the form of the chunky knit jumper. The Somedays
Lovin Strabo chunky knit is perfect for layering. Its boxy-cropped fit
favours a fitted layer underneath, which creates a visual balance and prevents
the eye from creating extra bulkiness where there is none!

Humble in its abiding toughness, reliability and versatility, the military shirt is a true fashion staple. The Somedays Lovin Catskills Disposal version is a core layering component and worn in whatever which way creates the perfect androgynous look. Layer it open over a basic tee to create a relaxed vibe, or wear buttoned with leather separates and heels to create a polished and sculpted look. A hint of army green collar peeking from beneath a soft jumper is another way to subtly build up layers while keeping things lightweight.

If you are worried that
layering will lose your silhouette...then get waisted! Add a belt to your outfit to
cinch things in at the waist and keep all those layers in check! Mix up
textures and throw some studs into the wool mix. Look no further than the Becksöndergaard Sunshine Studs Belt (£49), which will allow you to layer without any
bulkiness!
