WINTER OUTFIT IDEAS: HOW TO LAYER UP FOR WARMTH 

We’re some way off of bare skin on balmy nights, but warm outfits for winter do not require you to bury your style and personality. Boux’s favourite trick for embracing the cold without getting lost in fabric? Layers! 

Say hello to seamless base layers, soft-stretch knitwear, chic loungewear and cosy accessories that make parting with your dressing gown each morning a joy (or, at least, less of a drag). Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered (literally)!

NAILING WINTER OUTFIT BASE LAYERS 

Winter outfits should always begin with a warm, technical fabric. Beautiful design is Boux’s second base layer non-negotiable.

Enter our seamless range, giving you a soft and smooth foundation for every warm outfit. This Ribbed seamless bralette with a traditional scoop back is winter’s best friend in on-trend emerald, and co-ords with the cosy high-waisted Ribbed seamless briefs or Ribbed seamless thong. 

 

If you want to channel summer’s warmth into your winter outfits, then start from the base (layer) up with the cheery-cherry Ribbed seamless cherry embroidered bralette. This one has a sporty feel thanks to a cross back and adjustable straps, while the scallop edging on the underband is both comfy and feminine. Match it with the complementary cherry red Chevron ribbed seamless thong. 

The only thing sleeker than seamless separates is a seamless one-piece. Our Contour seamless thong bodysuit is the solution for an extra layer that doesn’t add bulk. The stretch knit fabric is warm and soft on skin, with a comfy fit and internal bra shelf for built-in support and lift. With a top this sleek, chunky joggers make a pleasing contrast you’ll love lounging in day and night. 

For a richer hand-feel, add soft-stretch knits to your ribbed underwear. The Heart embroidered knitted bralette in a wintery red is as luxurious as it is sexy, with its embroidered design, ribbed underband and square back. 

There’s ample at-home layering potential within this bralette’s coordinating collection of Heart embroidered knitted shorts and Heart embroidered knitted cardigan. This is at-home comfort at its most sumptuous. We love bare legs with cosy socks: the Velvet fleece socks make the perfect accessory to these undies and co-ords.

THE BEST WARM OUTFITS FOR WINTER

Knitwear layers are a winter essential. Fairisle is a festive staple. This Fairisle pearl knitted jumper - with additional pearl embellishments - ticks every box for a warm Christmas layer that feels fancy rather than frumpy. At home, it co-ords with the Fairisle knitted shorts, but out and about it’s as chic with jeans or leggings. 

While hoodies often get a bad rap for being too shapeless, the Lana ribbed hoodie top defies the genre with its subtly cropped length, wide ribbed hem and super soft fabric. It’s the best of style and comfort, and its coordinating Lana ribbed flared trousers boast every bit as flattering a silhouette. For an added layer close to your body, or quick changes when the heating kicks in, complete the set with the Lana ribbed twist cami top. 

Don’t forget, there is a place for oversized. Especially when that slouchy fit is as bold and intentional as the Boux Lounge oversized hoodie and Boux Lounge oversized joggers. Embrace the shape and wear them together, or contrast the relaxed joggers with the sleek contrasting Contour seamless thong bodysuit under the (festive red) tonal Heart embroidered knitted cardigan (worn open). 

When you’re inclined to go fluffy, go Borg fluffy. The Panelled Borg lounge set has a slim fit with elasticated cuffs, and an apres-ski inspired ½ zip jumper so you can share a glimpse of your beloved base layers. Side panels down the trousers give a smarter edge to loungewear that transitions effortlessly between dress up and dress down. 

For a smoother finish to your uber-warm lounge layers, velour will prove your reliable winter wardrobe companion. We love the Foil star and moon velour twosie for no-brainer co-ords that answers the question “how to put together a winter outfit” in two words pieces. 

For a similarly soft and plush feel, with the added texture of an embossed design, the Fluffy heart oversized cosy hoodie is another strong Boux multitasker. Gorgeous over bare legs at home or over thermal leggings for a wintery walk, it integrates beautifully with your winter wardrobe staples.

KEEPING YOUR FEET WARM IN WINTER

Need some signposting for sub-zero style? Walk this way - preferably in our cosiest slippers and slipper socks. Here’s a Boux hack. When your feet are warm, everything else feels better too (that applies to cold weather woes or, well, just about everything). 

For toasty toes at home, there’s Reindeer mule slippers for novelty joy. Fluffy boot slippers (in pink or white) are a fetching snowboot-inspired way to beat the freeze. And Chenille sparkle cosy slipper socks combine non-slip practicality and sparkly love-ability. 

For snuggly socks that fit under your go-to winter boots and trainers, the Velvet fleece socks in one of three colours may well be the first and last thing you put on every time you put together a winter outfit. The Heart cosy socks provide pretty texture alongside all-day wearability, while Over the knee socks will save the day (and your legs) when swapping trousers for a skirt or dress.
