Tonal layering in womenswear and menswear 101: A guide to looking absolutely lit by your BFFs at Westside

While the last decade did look down upon coordinated outfits and matching ensembles, tonal dressing has been a fashion favourite for the last two years. Very cool and very easy to put together if you’ve got your basics right, and looks so elegant, charming, and accomplished, here’s everything you need to get tonal layering right for both womenswear and menswear.

For starters, Bombay Paisley promises a wide range of colours and silhouettes to choose from. From casual ladies tops and t shirts for ladies to structured trousers for women and smart jackets, Bombay Paisley has got your back. Play with colours and textures, mix warm and cold tones, and see how you look in them. How about layering knitted ladies tops over long shirt dresses, worn just by itself, or paired with wide-hemmed trousers for women? Or choose gorgeous jackets for ladies by Bombay Paisley, worn on t shirts for ladies or textured tops, and take a regular outfit from meh to wow! From work meetings to brunches to back-to-college regulars, these womenswear ensembles are wardrobe must-haves this season.

Pro-tip: when it comes to tonal layering, the secret to looking dapper is picking the right colour and print. Prints are huge in menswear right now, so don’t be afraid to experiment. ETA has a fantastic range of tshirts and Shirts For Men in a variety of prints and checks that you will fall in love with. Here’s a tonal layering idea: Striped, slim mens shirts under casual micro-print tshirts for men? Or how about a shirt on a shirt in different sleeve lengths and necklines? ETA has options in every style and colour you can think of.

For those gentlemen who would like to keep it simpler, WES Casuals has the perfect options for you. Style a classic blue denim and crew neck tshirts for men by WES Casuals with relaxed-fit and checked mens shirts, and throw on zip-thru hoodies for extra warmth. If you are feeling a little adventurous, maybe start off with a printed ETA tee, and then a WES Casuals shirt and hoodie in contrasting colours, for that pop of fun and casual.

With the weather taking a dip, it’s time to stock up on stylish cardigans, jumpers, and jackets for ladies, right? NUON and Wardrobe has got you, girl.
