Four Tips For Layering Up With Van Heusen This Winter
Stay warm and look great this Winter with our range of versatile and stylish separates designed to be mixed and matched for any occasion.
Cooler weather offers more opportunity for experimentation and there is no better way to show off a little flair than by layering your favourite tailored items. The Winter '23 range from Van Heusen is built to bundle with a range of suits, business shirts, ties, blazers, coats, chinos, and knit sweaters in complimentary fabrics and hues. Not only do they add depth and texture to a wardrobe but layering also offers variety. If you're looking to experiment, heed our four simple rules.
1. Thin on the inside, thick on the outside
When deciding on what goes where, opt to put thinner fabric closer to your body and thicker layers on the outside. Not only does this make sense logically, it also offers more balance visually. Pair tan chinos with an Oxford button-down and a merino sweater and finish with a knitted jumbo twill blazer.
2. Stick to the magic number 3
There is such a thing as too much so adhere to the magic rule of three. Pick three items to layer and call it a day. Anymore and you'll risk looking like an overstuffed teddy bear. Think T-shirt or shirt, sweater, knit or cardigan and coat, blazer or jacket.

3. Light on the inside, dark on the outside
Choose to put the lighter colours on the inside and the darker choices on the outside. Pair a white Oxford shirt made from a blend of melange cotton and lyocell with a mid-grey suit and finish with a wool-like overcoat. This is more of a guideline than a hard rule. But it's a good starting point. Have a play around and see what works.
4. Layers should work solo
Layering is for warmth as much as it is for style so ensure you're happy to remove a layer or two should you need to, especially with the current weather where we are experiencing four seasons in one day. For this reason, ensure your outfit works as a shirt as it does a shirt and gilet puffer vest or coat as it does the shirt, gilet puffer vest and coat.
Ultimately, layering is about fun and versatility. Purchase wisely with this in mind and you’ll be able to stretch a small capsule wardrobe to a plethora of outfits, fit for every wintery occasion.
