Mastering Winter: A Guide to Stylish Layering

Mastering Winter: A Guide to Stylish Layering:

By Sarah Blake, Owner of East 73rd Ladies Boutique

 

Hi ladies, I want to let you in on one of my favourite style secrets for winter – the art of layering. As the chill sets in, it’s time to turn up the heat on our wardrobes while keeping our style intact. So, let’s explore the world of winter layering!

1. The Foundation: Start with Staple Pieces

Before we get into the practical details, let’s talk basics. Every winter wardrobe needs a solid foundation, and that means quality staple pieces. Think classic denim, cosy sweaters, and versatile tees. These are the heroes that will carry you through the season.

2. Jazz it Up with Key Pieces

Now, here’s where the magic happens. Elevate your look by adding a few key pieces. I’m talking about those statement jackets that not only keep you warm but also make heads turn. Our favourites this season? Frandsen and Normann – trust me, they’re game-changers; super warm but light enough to be comfy all day and night.

3. Head to Toe Cosiness: Hats, Scarves, and Boots

No winter ensemble is complete without the right accessories. Pieces and JDY have the perfect hats and scarves to add that touch of flair. And when it comes to boots, Marco Tozzi, s.Oliver, and Kate Appleby have got your feet covered – literally! One of my key tips to my customers is to pop a pair of tights under your jeans or trousers for that extra tough of warmth.

4. Wrap Yourself in Warmth: Luxe Knitwear

Let’s talk about the true winter winners – cosy knits. Micha, Pieces, JDY, Anonymous, Cecil, and Street One are bringing their A-game this season. Whether it’s a chunky sweater or a stylish cardigan, layering with knitwear is the key to warmth without compromising on style.

5. Mix, Match, and Own Your Style

Here’s the golden rule – there are no rules! Mix and match your staple and key pieces to create looks that are uniquely you. Experiment with textures, colours, and lengths. Winter fashion is all about expressing yourself while staying snug. Just because they weather is dull and grey, doesn’t mean your outfit needs to be.

So, there you have it – my guide to mastering winter styles through the art of layering. Pop-in to our shops in Ballybunion or Castleisland for some more style inspirations. Remember, fashion should be fun, and winter is the perfect season to experiment.

Stay warm, stay stylish!

For detailed sizing information, we recommend contacting us or visiting our website. You can find specific sizing information for each product by clicking on the item you’re interested in. Robell trousers offer a wide range of sizes to accommodate different body types. They provide both numeric sizing and European sizing, although specific measurements and sizing may vary depending on the style.

How does sizing differ among the different Robell trouser styles?

Due to the range of different Robell styles, we may recommend going up or down a size for certain styles. Here are some general recommendations:

  • Marie and Bella styles: We recommend dropping down a size as they are a generous fit.
  • Rose style: We recommend going up a size as they are a slim fit.
  • Robell offers petite length trousers (29” / 73cm inside leg) for shorter ladies and tall-length trousers (32.5” / 82 cm inside leg) for taller ladies.

What are the differences in length within the Robell range?
Robell offers a variety of lengths to cater to different preferences and heights:

  • Full-length trousers: 31” / 78cm inside leg. Available in styles such as Marie F/L, Bella F/L, Rose F/L, and more!
  • Petite length trousers: 29” / 73cm inside leg. Ideal for shorter ladies. Our favourites in this length are the Marie and Bella styles.
  • Tall-length trousers: 32.5” / 82cm inside leg. Currently only available in the Marie style.
  • Robell 09 Trousers: 27” / 68cm inside leg. These trousers are typically worn as ankle grazers but can also be worn as full-length trousers for shorter ladies. You can find them in the Bella 09, Rose 09, Nena 09, and Lena 09 styles.
  • Robell 07 Trousers: 22” / 56cm inside leg. These 07 trousers are ¾ length trousers, perfect for the summer months. They are available in the Marie 07 and Rose 07 styles.

  • Robell 04 Shorts: Above the knee shorts with an 11” / 28cm inside leg. The Bella 04 shorts are made of stretch bengaline fabric.

Which style is best suited for a professional work environment?

For a professional work environment, we highly recommend the Marie style. It is one of the smartest Robell trousers, featuring minimal detailing in Robell’s famous stretch bengaline fabric. The Marie style has a classic straight fit, making it suitable for all occasions. Pair them with a shirt and blazer for a smart workplace look.

Is there a slimmer fitting option available?

Yes, for slimmer figures, we suggest trying the Robell Rose, Nena, and Lena styles in the super slim-fit trousers and jeans. These styles offer a tight, super-slim fit from the thighs down to the ankles. You’ll find various lengths, fabrics, and patterns to choose from.
