Layer up...

 September has turned cold so it is time to get layering. This is an essential fashion skill for the colder months and it's easy. Javelin has a few tips - if you were going to wear one top, wear four instead; when putting on a coat, think 'could I wear a gilet under this?'; never ever leave the house without at least six items of knitwear on and leave more time for dressing/undressing because all those layers are going to take longer. For tops to layer, see American Vintage, they do great basics in a rainbow of colours. For warm boots, try Sorel and Fly. Coats - Ted Baker, or for a more country casual look - Barbour. Team everything with skinny jeans (because they balance out the bulk of all the layers up top) And don't forget: Knits, Knits, Knits.

And we've not forgotten the boys. How about a velvet jacket from Scotch & Soda for a textured layer? Add chinos, shirt and scarf to complete. There, not difficult was it?
