Our most beloved label for layering at Impulse is Vigorella, and last Friday we had our final winter drop, a bittersweet event! It included gorgeous new textures in our favourite winter hues like Jam, Smoke, Oatmeal and classic chic Black in Wool, and an exciting new fabric made from Soybean fibres. I couldn't believe my fingers when I was dressing our faithful mannequin Betty for the webstore photoshoot... the Soy fabric is SO soft and silky, and super light yet drapes beautifully (so... just like all Vigorella but even more amazing!).
The best thing about Vigorella is that all her styles are designed to work together, so getting dressed is a no-brainer! You can put whatever you like together and it will look thought out and chic!
However, I understand that some of us need rules because after all, if there aren't any rules - how can you break them? ;) So I found a little guide (via mamamia.com.au) to layering.....
- Don’t over think it, it is actually quite simple.
- Layer up for cool weather and layer down for warm weather.
- Dressing should be fun not stressful, keep it simple and stylish. If you are new to layering, start by layering tonally. Later on you can introduce mixing and matching colours.
- Don’t be scared to mix and match patterns, colours and textures together. It can work really well.
- Always go a little out of your comfort zone, you will be surprised at the compliments you will receive by looking a little bit different to usual. Try something unexpected. Always accentuate your assets.
- A splash of colour can not only lift your outfit but it can also lift your mood.
- Express your look and lifestyle through layers, use a tailored jacket over a dress for the office. After work, you can take your jacket off. Even something as simple as ruching up your jackets sleeves can change your entire look from office wear to weekend wear.
- Start with a fitted slip dress or tank dress, it gives you a nice streamlined foundation for layering. This will work over pants or under dresses.
- Try loose layers over fitted ones and remember that ruching can distract and hide whatever you want to hide!
Now, go forth and shop the new Vigorella and layer to your heart's content! (And don't forget the food, wine and cuddles...)
