Winter is here! It arrived with a bang (or should we say some soft fallen snow) on Thanksgiving eve and now all we can think about is dressing for the cold months that lie ahead. We’re pretty sure that most people know the key to dressing for winter is layering. Layers are essentials for keeping the cold at bay, but sometimes it can be hard to find the perfect layers to take you right through the cold winter months. Here at Jia Collection we are always thinking about what our customers truly need, so we put a little post together to help you choose some great pieces for layering that will take right though winter and on into spring. Here are our top 5 picks:

1. The Scarf

A great scarf is definitely one of our top winter wardrobe essentials. It is the perfect accessory for bundling up against the elements and making sure you feel nice and cosy. It is also a great way to add an element of chic to your look. Our Betty scarf is the ultimate winter accessory. It can be worn in five different ways (for example as a snood/cowl neck, as a shall, or as a more traditional scarf) and each side has two different designs, so you can reverse it and it will look like a completely different scarf.

2. The Cape

The cape is everywhere this fall/winter and with good reason. Capes are effortlessly chic and are also perfect for layering. You can wear an endless amount of tops underneath and still looks impossibly stylish. If you are looking for the perfect cape this fall/winter, then look no further than our reversible Marcella cape. It can be worn 4 different ways (what a bargain), looks great, and is super soft and warm. You can stay stylish and snug all winter long.

3. The Knit Sweater Dress

Every lady needs a great knit sweater dress to layer up and keep warm. A great sweater dress can add the perfect feminine touch to any look. They are also great for winter because they can be worn with both trousers or skirts and tights, so you will never be stuck on what to wear. For a knit sweater dress that is perfect for the holiday season, we suggest our gorgeous Loretta dress. This dress is reversible, and comes in solid black with red contrasting panels or solid red with black contrasting panels, so you will get two very festive and wintery dresses in one.

4. The Woolie Cardigan

Definitely one of our top picks for winter layering is a great woolie cardigan. This is an essential piece for adding an extra layer (or layers) of warmth to your outfit. We have a great selection of cardigans available at Jia Collection, and one of our favorites for the holiday season is our Vivian Cardigan in red/black. Of course this piece is reversible, so you will be getting two great pieces in one to layer up against that winter chill. It’s always great to have options right?
