Nippy as it might be, the drop in temperature affords you the opportunity to play with several more items per look. Which is good news if summer’s pared-back tees and shorts combos were sending you to sleep.

The colder seasons are a chance to add texture and interest to your outfit. But take care not to get too carried away with your layering. One of the main offenders is wearing a heavyweight knit underneath tailoring. It’s important to remember that a well-cut suit jacket or blazer is designed to flatter your form, and although that fisherman’s jumper you picked up in that Swedish thrift store may look great on its own, worn under a jacket, not only will it be uncomfortable, you’ll also look like the Marshmallow Man fromGhostbusters.

The rules are simple, really. The more layers you’re sporting, the lighter the gauge (or the density) of your knits should be. For the weekend, waste no time in pulling on that chunky cable knit jumper or heavyweight roll neck over a tee. But, during the working week, try layering fine-gauge cotton or merino wool versions underneath your blazer instead.
