Layer up!
Layering allows you to look trendy, fashionable but still stay warm. It’s also super effective for this unpredictable Kenyan weather where one moment it’s bone-chilling and next minute the sun is out in all its glory. PHOTO | FILE
What you need to know:
- The first thing you need to achieve a proper layered look is a cute, warm sweater. You can be as adventurous as you can be with the print, colours and even texture; be it cotton, wool or fur. If a sweater is too much for you then a turtle neck is the way to go.
- You can choose whether to layer the sweater with a duster coat or a fur coat. The only thing to be careful about is layering fur with fur. If you decide to go fur for the sweater, then don’t do a fur jacket as well.
The rainy season is upon us so you know what that means: it’s time to layer up people!

Duster coats are a new trend that’s slowly catching on so you definitely need one in your closet. They come in various lengths, knee or ankle (floor) length but the longer the better.

Lastly, put on your pair of boots, heels or flats and spruce the outfit up with a colourful scarf and you are good to go. The whole point of layering is to enable you to still make your outfit work even when the sun comes out, so feel free to ditch the coat and scarf for a not-so-cold weather look.
