If you’re wondering how to dress in winter without sacrificing comfort or fashion, HOMI has the perfect guide. Here’s how to master winter layering, keep your silhouette slim, and create stylish men’s and women’s outfits for every cold-weather scenario.

3 Smart Winter Layering Formulas

Instead of piling on random layers, use these proven outfit formulas to look good and stay warm all season long.

1. The Onion Layering Method

Layer from thin to thick (base layer → mid layer → outer layer). The air trapped between each layer acts as insulation. Perfect for extremely cold days or outdoor activities.

2. The Corn Layering Method (Minimal Layers, Maximum Warmth)

Forget bulky layering. This style relies on fewer pieces, focusing on a thin base + a powerful insulated outer layer. The key is “thin inside, thick outside” for a lighter, warmer look.

3. The “26°C Rule”

Start with the ideal body comfort temperature (26°C / 78°F). Subtract the day’s actual temperature to know how much “clothing warmth” you need. Then, add up the insulation value of each item until you hit that number.

For example:

• 8–10°C (46–50°F): Down jacket, shearling coat, faux fur coat

• 7°C (44°F): Wool overcoat

• 6°C (43°F): Thermal shirt, light down jacket, padded coat

• 5°C (41°F): Hoodie, warm shoes, trench coat, thick knit

• 4°C (39°F): Gloves, scarf, wool sweater, blazer

• 3°C (37°F): Knitwear, sweatshirt, lightweight hoodie

• 2°C (36°F): Shirt, cardigan, light outerwear

• 1°C (34°F): Long pants, skirts with tights, long-sleeve tops

How to Dress Warm Without Looking Bulky

Both layering methods require smart choices for each level:

• Base Layer: Focus on moisture-wicking thermals (like HOMI’s Base+ Thermal Shirt) to keep skin dry.

• Mid Layer: Add insulation with a heated vest, fleece vest, or light down.

• Outer Layer: Choose windproof & waterproof coats that protect everything underneath, like a down jacket or heated outerwear.
