How to perfect the layering trend

Layering has become a huge trend this season with some of the major fashion houses such as Prada, Chanel and Louis Vuitton, adopting this stylish trend. Whilst it may look as easy as throwing on a few different items, more often than not it is far from it. Unless you're a natural fashionista like Kate Moss, it may take more than a few goes before you start looking less homeless and more glamourous. So what is the key to nailing the layering trend? Mixing and matching. Colours, textures, lengths and proportions are what it's all about so girls pick your favourite fabrics and styles and get layering!

These girls show us how it's done.

Splendour in the Grass Style Guide

Splendour in the Grass is fast approaching at the end of this week and we're getting our outfits sorted early! The 3 day festival in Byron Bay is renown for it's unpredictable weather and therefore layering is key when it comes to surviving Splendour in style. You definitely need a fedora to keep the sun off your face during the day and your head warm later on. Sunnies are also key - a cute tortoiseshell pair will give you extra style points. Chambray shirts have been a huge hit and are great for layering over a crochet cami, and just incase it's extra chilly, throw on a khaki anorak. You can't possibly go to a festival without a pair of denim cut offs - it just wouldn't be right! And lastly, some gumboots will be a life saver if previous years are anything to go by. You'll be grateful for the warm, dry feet by the end of the day!

Trending: The Bomber

The ultimate contrast between hard and soft for this winter is The Bomber Jacket. Whether you prefer printed, embellished or school-jock stripes, the bomber is the perfect addition to any outfit (for guys too!). Team it with a plain dress or ankle biters to show off the crop and detailing of the jacket. If you are the too-cool-for-school rebel grab one in leather.
