Unarosa's Guide to Layering

“What shall I wear?” is a woman’s cry heard almost as often as the rooster’s crow at the break of dawn. Standing in front of the closet can be very stressful. Each day is a challenge to find a creative way to update the wardrobe.

When I was still working, I had the same problem! Well the key to success is to cover the basics, throw in a few trends and mix it all up. Play. There are no rules in layering outfits. Don’t be afraid to try things on and combine unconventional pieces. You may be pleasantly surprised with the result.


Here are some essentials to get you started:

1. THE BASICS

Throw on a classic white polo, high-waist skirt and your ever-reliable knit vest. To complete the look, add a studded belt and smart accessories.

2. LITTLE BLACK DRESS

You can never go wrong with the little black dress. Stand-out by wearing it with a printed jacket topped-off with a jaunty scarf.

3. COCKTAIL DRESS

Make your cocktail dress boardroom-worthy by wearing it with a tailored jacket. Cuffed-up sleeves complete this unexpected match.


4. VEST

Conquer the workday wearing your favorite weekend vest matched with a classic top and high-waist skirt.

5. TRENCH COAT

The timeless black trench can be worn in any kind of weather and works with almost everything. Wear it belted over your favorite Unarosa dress for an instant wardrobe update.
