Combining comfort and style is never more perilous at this time of year when the icy wind and the gloomy sky push us inevitably to sacrifice the second for the first. A trend against which one can seriously attempt to struggle by focusing on layering, or the art of superimposing his clothes with taste and subtlety. Explanations.
- Rule # 1 - Multiply the jackets
Difficult not to succumb to the call of the quilted down jacket when mercury flirts with negative temperatures. One resists by doubling its majestic overcoat in woolen cloth of a masculine blazer or for the least looking, a micro jacket like the one popularized by the Japanese Uniqlo . The idea is to hide this second layer or on the contrary, to play with contrasts of colors or story material to bring an extra fashion bail to its silhouette.

- Rule # 2 - Detach his tailor from a thick coat
Your professional dresscode compels you to a rather strict outfit? To do this, one wraps his perpetual tailor pants of a turtleneck in fine merino wool and one covers the whole of a thick mantle, fake fur for example. A twist that also works with the tracksuit, the new fashionable accoutrement in sight. Warm and cozy, it can become the key to an avant-garde look if you upgrade it from a top-of-the-range topcoat. Everything is in the mix of styles.

- Rule # 3 - Undoing your belt
In order to avoid the faded look of a bibendum packed under a multitude of layers of clothing, we adopt the reflex of the belt to emphasize its size and thus structure its silhouette with subtlety.

- Rule # 4 - Dare the Hoodie
Not the zipped sweatshirt is not reserved for your teenager. It's also a good way to twister a streetwear outfit while having a bit warmer. A stylistic gimmick that the Anglo-Saxons have at least no difficulty in adopting.

- Rule # 5 - Exhibiting Socks
Winter temperatures should not stop us from donning our favorite shoes, especially the most open of them. So we put on thick pantyhose or socks because , fashion is well done, it has never been more appropriate than to mix open shoes and socks. A glance at the last parades is enough to attest.
