Layering in linen looks – how to combine layers for colder days?

What is layering?

Layering is a technique of layering several layers of clothing to achieve a desired look, functionality and thermal comfort. There are several reasons why people use the layering technique:

• Thermal comfort – layering allows you to regulate your body temperature, by adding or removing layers as the weather conditions change,
• Aesthetics and style – layering can also be used to create diverse and complex styles. These, in turn, are in line with current trends!

In fashion, layering often involves experimenting with different lengths, textures and styles. From practical, functional applications to purely aesthetic ones, the layering technique has many advantages and is widely used in the world of fashion and outdoor clothing.

How to combine layers for colder days?

Layer 1: Base. Start with a thin, breathable layer directly on the skin. Materials such as linen, cotton, cashmere and merino are great for wicking moisture away from the body, so use a knit linen top. It’s important that this layer is soft and lightweight, so skip polyester and synthetics. Layer 2: isolating. Its job is to keep you warm. Popular choices include fleece, longer sweaters or lightweight down jackets. The thickness and material of this layer depend on the temperature and activity level. Synthetics or fabric blends are often used in this layer. Layer 3: zewnętrzna. This layer is to protect against wind, rain or snow. Depending on the weather conditions, it can be a windbreaker, a waterproof jacket or a heavier winter jacket. Often behind this layer is nylon or polyester on the outside and a natural lining on the inside. Don’t forget a hat, scarf, gloves or other accessories to help you stay warm. It’s also extremely trendy to mix different textures – from a lightly creased, fine linen, to a wool, puffy sweater.

Choose linen!

Linen clothes are an excellent choice in layering. This is because the relevant fibers are characterized by their naturalness, breathability and ability to regulate body temperature – and they do so all year round. In warmer months, linen clothing helps to keep you cool by wicking excess moisture away from the skin, while in cooler conditions it can act as an insulator, trapping heat. In addition, linen fabrics are durable and become even softer and more comfortable with age. Therefore, they can be worn either directly on the bare body or as a second isolating layer.

Why should you dress like an onion?

Dressing like an onion is using multiple layers of clothing. It has many benefits, both practical and aesthetic. Even our grandmothers and great-grandmothers, who dressed us in layers when we set off for the playground or sledding, know about these huge advantages.

Well, layering styles allow us to adapt to changing weather conditions – especially in autumn, when the sun alternates with wind and sudden rain. Creating “onion” styling also helps retain optimal body temperature, reducing the risk of overheating or catching a cold. Not infrequently, is the failure to adjust styling to changing conditions and switching from a heated room to a cool backyard the source of runny noses and recurrent infections.
