Knitwear is the easiest category to layer — and the easiest to get wrong. Add too much and everything looks bulky; layer it right and it looks effortless. Here's how to get it right.
Start with a Fitted Base
Whatever goes closest to your skin should be the most fitted piece, so everything you add on top has room to breathe. The Beige Long Relaxed Turtleneck works well as a base layer even though it's called "relaxed" — the length keeps it from bunching up under a jumper.
Add Volume in the Middle Layer
This is where a slightly looser piece belongs. The Brown Round Neck Long Sleeve Jumper is a good example — roomy enough to layer over a turtleneck without feeling tight across the shoulders.
Finish with an Open Layer
A cardigan worn open, rather than buttoned, keeps the whole look from feeling heavy. The Red Long Sleeve Ruffle Cardigan adds a pop of colour and texture without adding bulk, since it's not meant to be closed up.
Keep One Colour Family
Layering is easiest to pull off when your pieces stay in the same tonal range — think camel, black and cream, rather than five competing colours. The Red Long Long Sleeve Turtleneck and the Black Round Neck Long Sleeve Jumper are both simple enough to build a layered outfit around without it looking busy.
