Bought a fun summer dress just before lockdown and don’t think you’ll be able to wear it now that winter is rolling in? Wrong! With a little clever layering, you can keep those investments in rotation and stay extra warm and cosy at the same time.
Long-sleeved base layers are our unsung winter wardrobe heroes. Add them to anything – a slip dress, a basic tee or even a work shirt – and suddenly you’re covered for the cold weather. We’ve lined up our favourite 5 for you to add to Wishlist.
1.
The Turtleneck
From The Rock to street style queens – everyone is on board with this base layer. Contrast its high-neck design with your low-neck favourites, like a collared work shirt, and add a necklace to accentuate.

2.
The Classic LS Tee
Not as figure-hugging as some knitted styles, the long-sleeved tee is a casual wardrobe staple and a favourite for layering under baggy tees for that cool-girl grunge look.

3.
The Rib-Knit Jumper
With a little more weight than your average tee, this cosy layer makes the thought of wearing low-cut favourites, like pinafore dresses and dungarees, in winter much more bearable.

4.
The Cropped Long-Sleeved Tee
Just as cute layered under another crop top as it is worn on its own – if you’re a fan of throwback 90s style, this little number will be the hardest-working staple in your wardrobe this season.

5.
The Merino Knit Top
A sneaky staple that will go unnoticed under your favourite long-sleeved blouses and dresses, guaranteed to keep you warm without having to worry about how to style yourself.
