The Rail: A Guide To Layering

Smart layers are an essential part of winter. Rather than
relying on just one coat, you can ensure optimal warmth by smartly layering. By
starting with the base layer and working your way through the outer layers, you
can ensure you stay stylish and warm. Keep in mind that clothing made from
natural fibers is always good and has stood the test of time. Wool such as
cashmere, merino and lamb's wool are used in tailoring, knitwear and outerwear
for this reason. Contemporary fabrics are good because they can provide extra
warmth for severe cold and safe performance.
Merino wool is probably one of the best forms of fabric to
layer - it can be used in base layers, sweaters, and accessories. The Woolmark
Company has championed merino wool, which has natural absorbing and health
properties.

Base coat
Mercerized cotton or merino wool T-shirts are a great
starting point to base your outfit choices. Merino wool blend base layers
provide natural warmth for those who prefer a more sheer, more classic layering
option. A little tip to retain in mind is that gray t-shirts are ideal to wear
under white and light-colored shirts because they don't show through. Uniqlo
Heattech is ideal for extreme climates when you prefer not to use too many
interlayers. If you want a thermal layer, why not opt for a pair of fine
merino wool long johns to keep you comfortable all day.

Investing in good wool socks will ensure that your feet stay
warm thanks to the natural insulating characteristics of wool, while staying
cool thanks to the natural moisture wicking qualities. Merino wool, cashmere,
or mohair socks are best.

Essentials
The middle layer
Sleeveless jackets and padded vests are useful layers that
can easily be worn with your suit, sweater, or even under a coat. These capes
typically have goose down or technical padding that provides unmatched warmth.
In recent years, we take seen an increase in "maximized layers", with
bomber jackets and denim jackets worn under coats. It adds a nice dimension and
texture to your outfit, but it can get too hot if you do it all the way
through. However, the beauty of wearing such layers allows you to redo your mid
layer, whether you are still wearing a quilt and your bomber jacket underneath,
and then leaving your outer layer open or secured with a scarf.

When layering, keep your day's activities in mind and
remember that by layering wisely, you can make sure you peel off easily. Having
too many diapers can be a better mantra during the winter months, and carrying
a large purse or purse with you will allow you to remove the diapers and put
them away when you don't need them. Or vice versa, giving you the decision to apply
a coat if necessary.

Finishing touches
You can wear a scarf or hat to finish off your layered look.
Large scarves can be worn around the neck or even across the chest and buttoned
under your jacket or coat. Make sure the cold doesn't take over you and don't
be afraid to take bold action on your layers.
