The art of layering : our handpicked selection for adaptable outfits

DRESSING UP IN APRIL CAN BE A DAUNTING TASK. YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE SUN WILL WARM YOU UP UNTIL YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR COAT OFF OR IF A LIGHT BREEZE WILL INSTANTLY SEND YOU BACK TO SHIVERING. STILBAAR HANDPICKED A SELECTION OF HIGH-QUALITY BASICS FOR ADAPTABLE OUTFITS AND TO HELP YOU MASTER THE ART OF LAYERING.

A cashmere top can be perfect for chilly weather, as this natural material is thermoregulating. With a tight tank top underneath, you have a light outfit option if cashmere feels too hot for the whole day. To top the whole thing off, in case of really chill weather, a Merino wool cardigan will add a layer without feeling stuffy!

Here is an easy layered outfit for a preppy vibe: start with an organic cotton tee. Again, always favour natural materials as they are the most adaptable to your body temperature! Add a timeless, light silk shirt to allow the skin to breathe. On top, a sleeveless sweater brings warmth and sophistication.

Finally, for a minimal look: you love your black turtleneck (who doesn’t ?) but are afraid it might not be versatile enough for unstable weather throughout the day. Add a comfortable silk tank top and a thin cashmere blouse underneath. You will be prepared for any temperature change while being efficiently insulated by natural materials without looking like you put on your whole wardrobe.

To accompany these: a coat and scarf are ideal to feel protected against chilling winds. But depending on the weather, you might want lighter or warmer options. You can pick a short jacket, accompanied by a soft silk scarf, or a long wool coat with a cotton and wool poncho for maximum protection!
