Spring wardrobe will soon feature boxer shorts as a prominent item.
As the days grow longer and the weather takes a turn, navigating fashion for cold mornings and warm afternoons can be a challenge. Here's a practical guide to help you master the art of smart layering, ensuring you stay warm, comfortable, and stylish throughout the day.
The key to successful layering lies in base, middle, and outer layers.
Base layers form a comfortable foundation. Opt for lightweight t-shirts, tank tops, or casual collared shirts in neutral tones. These pieces provide a solid base that can be worn alone when it warms up.
Middle layers add warmth but are easy to remove if needed. Consider lightweight sweaters, knit vests, or long-sleeve shirts.
Outer layers offer protection against the morning chill. A jacket, blazer, cardigan, or a classic trench coat can be removed once it warms up.
Combination examples include: - A soft turtleneck or long-sleeve top under a knit vest or sweater, topped with a wool coat or trench in coordinating neutral shades; pair with slim trousers or jeans. - A t-shirt layered under a cardigan or lightweight blazer, combined with jeans or casual trousers. Carry a scarf that can add warmth in the morning but easily removed later. - For footwear, comfortable loafers or low trainers work well for versatility and comfort throughout fluctuating temperatures.
Versatile, neutral-colored pieces made of breathable materials allow you to maintain style while adapting to weather changes easily. Scarves and lightweight jackets are ideal accessories for such transitional outfits.
The writer, who can be found on Instagram, is demonstrating this layered approach. Today, they are wearing a tee from Anine Bing, a vintage leather jacket, and Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 SD Birch/Green Sneakers, a size smaller than their regular shoe size (7.5, wearing a men's 6.5). They are also wearing a Banana Republic Factory Pearl Necklace, a sterling silver anklet given as a Christmas gift, and HommeGirls Classic Stripe Boxer Shorts in size S.
As the temperature outside currently hovers at 50°F, the writer is keeping warm in a cosy coffee shop each morning. As the day progresses and the temperature is expected to reach 70°F, they will be ready to shed layers and embrace the warmer weather.
The writer is also considering boxer shorts for their spring/summer wardrobe and is considering the Urban Outfitters Pearl Anklet and DONNI Small Pearl Anklet as alternatives to a handmade Seed Bead Anklet. They also own a Mejuri Dainty Beaded Ring and James Avery Heart Drop Anklet and Foxtail Chain Necklace, often layering multiple anklets.
