Styling 101: Layering and Textures, A Guide On How To Dress For The Winter Season

Styling this years' Fall/Winter collection is all about mixing textures, embracing bold colors, and layering to create chic and functional outfits for the colder months. Here’s a guide to the season’s trends and styling tips to bring Ashia Mode’s collection into your wardrobe!

1. Embrace Bold Outerwear as a Statement Piece

This season, outerwear is more than just functional; it’s the statement piece of the outfit. From classic Herno trench coats in rich camel tones to Dorothee's structured wool coats with dramatic collars, focus on layering an eye-catching coat over neutral or monochrome outfits. Style a Manzoni 24 shearling navy coat or fur coat over a black turtleneck and slim trousers to create a sleek, sophisticated base that lets the coat shine.

2. Mix Textures for Depth and Interest

Textural contrast is a standout element in this years' collections, with combinations of wool, cashmere, silk, and metallic threads. Mix chunky knits with sleek leather or satin skirts for a look that balances softness and shine. Pairing textures—like a sequined knit sweater with tailored wool pants—adds a modern look, creating outfits that are as comfortable as they are chic.

3. Add Sparkle to Daytime Looks

Sequins aren’t just for evening anymore. This collection incorporates sequins into daytime styles, like Fabiana's sparkly cardigans and metallic-threaded scarves, giving daytime outfits a touch of glamour. To style this trend, opt for a sequined top with a blazer and denim, or add a D.exterior metallic scarf to your usual coat-and-sweater look. Keep the rest of your outfit simple to let the sparkle make its statement without overwhelming the look.

4. Focus on Layering Staples with Chic Accessories

This season is all about thoughtful layering with stylish accessories. Layer long-line Lorena Antoniazzi cardigans over slip dresses or jeans and add chunky scarves or structured Bao Bao handbags to complete the look. Invest in accessories with a refined but bold character like Alexis Bittar, with unique jewelry pieces that match the rich tones in the rest of your outfit.

5. Experiment with Monochromatic Looks in Rich Shades

While black-on-black is always in style, try creating monochromatic looks with richer shades, like loden green, burgundy, or navy, for a fresh seasonal twist. A monochromatic look can create cohesive effect and looks instantly put-together. For example, style a navy sweater with matching trousers and a faux fur or shearling coat thats adds texture; accessorize with a silver bag to create contrast while staying in same cool toned family.
