How to layer this Autumn

As the summer becomes a distant memory and the days start to become shorter and cooler, it’s time to think about how you should be dressing for autumn. The answer lies in layers!

As the temperature starts to drop, selecting an outfit can be a tricky chore as you’re often tackling chilly mornings, warm afternoons, and showery evenings. How are you supposed to get it right? In this quick guide, we will explain to you how to layer in Autumn with clothing that is customised with your branding or designs.

Autumn Base Layers

This is probably the most important layer of all, especially as it’s the layer that stays on no matter how warm or cold you are! Base layer tops and T-Shirts are the perfect lightweight and breathable options to go under your other garments. The ultimate choice will utilise a moisture-wicking fabric which helps to regulate your temperature and will keep you feeling comfortable the whole day.
