Layering is the ultimate style secret for combining functionality with flair. Whether it's the chill of winter or the breezy days of spring, layers let you create versatile outfits while staying comfortable.

At The Original Knit, we believe layering is more than just a practical choice—it's a form of art. Here’s how to master the look for every season.

Winter: Embrace Warmth Without Compromising Style

Winter layering is all about cozy textures and snug fits. Here’s how to elevate your cold-weather look:

The Foundation: Start with a soft knitted sweater as your base. Opt for neutral shades like cream or charcoal for a versatile base.

Layer Two: Add a chunky cardigan or a timeless cable-knit jacket. Choose bold patterns or vibrant colors to brighten up winter greys.

The Finish: Top off with a tailored coat or puffer jacket. Don’t forget accessories—knitted scarves, beanies, and gloves complete the look while adding personality.

Tip: Play with textures—pair smooth knits with chunky wool for a balanced outfit.

Spring: Light Layers for Breezy Days

As the chill softens, spring calls for lightweight yet stylish layers:

Base Layer: Choose a lightweight knitted top—something breathable yet cozy for fluctuating temperatures.

Mid-Layer: Layer with a cardigan or wrap. Pastels and florals work wonderfully for the season.

Outer Layer: Keep a cropped jacket or raincoat handy for those unexpected spring showers.

Style Insight: Pair oversized cardigans with slim-fit jeans or flowy dresses for a chic springtime look.

Summer: Minimal Layers with Maximum Impact

Yes, even in summer, layering can enhance your outfit! Keep it minimal and breezy:

Light Tanks: Start with a knitted tank top or camisole for a breathable base.

Sheer Layers: Throw on a light shrug or a loose-knit kimono. These add flair without overheating.

Accessories: Incorporate lightweight scarves or hats to add dimension to your outfit.

Pro Tip: Stick to breathable materials like cotton or linen blends for knitted summer layers.

Autumn: Cozy and Chic

Autumn’s crisp air makes it the perfect time to experiment with layering:

Base Layer: Begin with a classic knitted pullover. Earthy tones like rust, mustard, or olive green complement the season beautifully.

Mid-Layer: Add a longline cardigan or knitted vest. These pieces add warmth without feeling heavy

Outer Layer: Finish with a trench coat or denim jacket for a polished look.

Style Tip: Experiment with patterns—think plaids, stripes, and geometric designs.

Layering for All Occasions

Workwear: Layer a sleek knit under a blazer for a professional yet cozy outfit.

Casual Outings: Combine a knitted dress with a long cardigan for a relaxed vibe.

Evening Events: Pair a fitted turtleneck with a bold knitted shawl for effortless elegance.
