Most Kenyans may be unfamiliar with the phrase layering though we do it practically every day. What it basically involves is the dressing up in different clothes of different fabrics in order to provide that extra warmth to our bodies. What this basically means is that we dont have to break the bank investing in expensive trench coats but we can work with what we already have in our closet.
The challenge comes in balancing the need for warmth with that of still looking beautiful. Leading American designer Charlotte Ronson suggests that you start off with lighter weight fabrics against your skin to avoid looking too bulky. Add a pretty dress, some stockings or leggings and a long sleeved shirt worn underneath the dress and team this with either a new sweater or jacket and you are good to go. AND the good thing about layering is that if the sun does come out at some point, you can unlayer till the point you feel warm enough.
