In our perpetual search for comfort and style, we're always on the lookout for new trends and tricks to improve our wardrobe. Recently, layering has become very popular. With the transitional months approaching, it's time to master layering to deal with sudden changes in temperature.
What is layering ?
Layering involves layering several garments of different thicknesses, textures and colors to create a harmonious, comfortable outfit. This technique not only adds spice to your look, but also makes it easier to adapt your clothes to changing temperatures. By judiciously combining layers, you can wear your favorite pieces in all circumstances and stay stylish even when the weather is unpredictable. With Pyrenex pieces, you have thousands of solutions to combine windbreakers, lightweight down jackets and waterproofs. By layering a lightweight Pyrenex quilted jacket under a parka or raincoat, you can create an extra barrier against the winter cold without compromising style.
Here are our ideas for layering with Pyrenex's lightweight, timeless jackets:
1. PLAY WITH TEXTURES:
Bring visual relief to your outfit by layering different textures. Playing with materials will give your outfit a fresh look. We recommend layering lighter pieces underneath with thicker ones. For example, pair a quilted sleeveless down jacket with a recycled fabric windbreaker underneath.
2. BALANCE LENGTHS:
Mix jacket lengths for a balanced aesthetic. Try layering a short jacket over a longer windbreaker, for example. Depending on your silhouette, you'll be able to highlight certain parts of your body and create unique, stylish looks that reflect your personality and your sense of style.
3. ALTERNATE WITH THIN AND THICK LAYERS:
Play with the thickness of fabrics to create a balanced look. Overlay thinner layers such as raincoats under thicker pieces like light down jackets. Always choose wide cuts to facilitate layering, and avoid layering thick materials together. By experimenting with these different layering techniques, you can create versatile, original looks that will keep you warm and stylish, whatever the weather.
4. OPT FOR BREATHABLE, TECHNICAL CLOTHING:
Choosing the right garments is crucial for successful layering. Opt for breathable fabrics that allow breathability to evaporate and prevent overheating under the various layers. Technical textiles such as polyester, microfiber and certain cottons are ideal for absorbing moisture and staying dry. Our waterproof jackets in the new collection are made from 100% recycled, breathable SYMPATEX® fabric. Waterproof jackets provide you with a high-performance, durable solution for outdoor experiences.
Finally, layering can be adapted to all seasons by adjusting the number of layers and the quality of clothing. In winter, you'll adapt layers according to the cold, using thermal underwear, light down jackets under the coat or thicker down jackets.
In mid-season, layer recycled fabric windbreakers with sleeveless down jackets or raincoats to face all weather changes.
With layering, it's essential to try out different combinations until you find the perfect balance between style and comfort. Take into account the thickness of each garment and adjust the layers according to your personal comfort and the conditions outside. Layering wisely and tastefully will bring out the best in this trend.
