The Art of Layering – How to Do It Properly This Winter

Layering is the difference between looking like you know what you’re doing and looking like you just threw on whatever was clean. It’s the key to pulling off winter streetwear — staying warm without sacrificing style. But here’s the truth: most guys get it wrong. They either pile on too much and lose shape, or keep it too thin and freeze. So let’s break down how to actually layer properly this winter.
Start with the Base:
Your base layer sets the tone. Go for a heavyweight boxy tee — not some cheap, clingy one. A good tee adds structure and gives your next layers something solid to sit on. Bonus points if it’s got a bold graphic that peeks through when you unzip your hoodie or jacket.
The base is what the whole fit is built on, check out our range of tees here.
Middle Layer = Function + Flex:
This is where you build warmth and dimension. A heavyweight hoodie or crewneck is non-negotiable. It’s your core piece — thick, durable, and cut right. If your hoodie collapses or stretches out, the whole outfit loses shape. Stick to clean, neutral tones or washed-out colours so it doesn’t fight your outerwear.
Outer Layer: Make a Statement:
This is where you show personality. Think oversized bombers, puffers, or leather jackets. The outer layer shouldn’t just be practical — it should be the piece that ties everything together. Make sure it’s roomy enough to fit your hoodie comfortably underneath without bulking up like a marshmallow.
Balance Your Proportions:
Layering isn’t about wearing as much as possible — it’s about getting the proportions right. Boxy on top, looser on the bottom. Pair your layered upper half with baggy denim or cargos so the fit flows naturally.
Finish the Fit:
Accessories make the difference. Beanies, crossbody bags, and chunky sneakers complete the winter streetwear vibe. Little details that show you’ve thought about the fit, not just thrown it together.
Master layering, and you’re untouchable this winter — warm, clean, and effortlessly put together. It’s not about quantity; it’s about composition. Every layer should earn its place.
