Eclectic Layering

Saturday, January 23, 2010

I was browsing through the new Spring collection on the ASOS website, when I came across a trend described as eclectic layering. I have been experimenting with pattern mixing and layering for some time and was interested to see their take on this look. Unfortunately, they didn't give much in the way of actual examples just lots of different pieces that could be layered in an eclectic way. Their description is 'mixing and matching different influences from heavy reworked denim to soft chiffons and light sweats' They had some very lovely floral pieces that I can really picture as part of a layered ensemble but of course, I am not shopping at the moment and I already have some florals in my wardrobe.

I have however spotted some great versions of eclectic layering on the catwalk which I will be a starting point or inspiration for so many spring and summer outfits. I was tempted to put together an outfit for this trend, but actually there were so many possibilities, it made my head spin. I do however think that eclectic layering will feature in many outfits for other trends as it features so many different trends e.g florals, chiffon, safari, tribal prints, polka dots, stripes, sheers, layering and the so the list goes on..

Lacking a winter coat

snood
next snood
Today I was so cold and just wanted to wrap up really warm. Unfortunately my new coat from Next is on a 2-4 week delivery. Luckily the snood that I ordered has turned up. I decided to keep nice and warm by layering, perhaps a more interesting and creative outfit than just throwing on a winter coat.

I completely love my new snood. It is so cosy and warm but not too tight around my neck and nice chunky knit. If it gets really cold, I might even pull it up over my head to keep my ears lovely and warm. Or pull it down over my shoulders when I am around the house on a really cold day.
