Layer by numbers
Next-level winter dressing is as easy as 1-2-3.
You don't have to invest in a coat that weighs more than you do to keep warm in winter; layers will achieve a versatile look that's just as practical.
Unlike the ugly skivvies of your childhood, there's no reason to hide away this season's chic rollneck knits. Let yours show under a V-neck top, vest or jacket — or stack all three on top of one another.
We've done the math for you.

Four layers
Two's company, three's a crowd, but four is a seriously great winter outfit. Make model Pernille Moeller your muse and go all out with a structured top over a simple white skivvy, then add a statement print for interest. Tie it all together with a heavy coat in a dark tone.
