EditorialUrlfreezeShops CURATES: The Art of Layering
20 September 2024Placing layering at the forefront, UrlfreezeShops curates a selection of women’s looks perfected for the season of transition.
With the last days of summer sun behind us, it’s time to look towards autumn and begin to introduce layering back into our outfit rotations. Nodding to both streetwear and functional fashion design with nostalgic influences, each look marries streetwear’s love for oversized, voluminous shapes and comfortable pieces with more feminine, tailored pieces. Offering the perfect juxtaposition, this contrast helps to build versatile looks with a polished edge, with everything from GANNI and Martine Rose knitwear to Adanola track suits.
Layering takes centre stage throughout the edit, with knitwear paired with graphic tees, jackets casually slung over the shoulders in a laissez-faire manner and accessories finishing things off with a flourish. Each layer adds depth and personality, while contrasting fabrics introduce a further subtle dimension, combining knitwear with faux fur, plaid and denim.
Punctuating these layered women’s looks with pops of colour to brighten up any overcast autumn day, a vibrant palette looks to create a balance with more muted tones a la Our Legacy, Aries and Anine Bing reflecting the timelessness of autumnal hues and bold pigments adding a healthy dose of freshness from Beams Boy and Ottolinger. Practical yet the perfect way to incorporate contemporary fashion forward styles, integral to transitional layering is balancing the desire to stand out and the need to remain grounded.
