Layering with Luxury: Mastering Winter Street Style  

Don't sacrifice style for warmth this winter. À La Mode's guide to winter layering will help you conquer the cold while looking chic. We'll show you how to elevate your winter wardrobe with pieces that feel as good as they look so you can stay cozy and stylish all season long.

The Art of the Base Layer

Winter style starts with a solid foundation. Think of your base layer as the unsung hero of your outfit, the silent partner that keeps you cozy and comfortable all day long. It's the layer closest to your skin, so choosing the right fabrics is paramount. While merino wool and silk are great options, a soft, high-quality cotton blend can be just as effective and more accessible.

While À La Mode's signature style leans towards streetwear, the foundation of a great winter outfit often starts with versatile basics. Imagine a fitted, long-sleeve tee in a neutral color. With this base, you can build your outfit using À La Mode's bolder, statement-making pieces. This essential first layer is your canvas, preparing you for the masterpiece.

Mid-Layers: The Heart of Warmth

This is where the magic truly happens. Mid-layers are your insulation powerhouses, trapping heat and adding depth and dimension to your outfit. This is your opportunity to play with textures, colors, and silhouettes. Think stylish hoodies or a sleek, fitted turtleneck.

The La Mode Hoodie is a perfect mid-layer that combines warmth and style. We crafted graphite and white versions from a premium fabric blend that feel incredibly soft against the skin. The subtle À La Mode logo and minimalist design make this hoodie versatile and suitable for dressing up or down. 

Picture yourself layering Graphite under a tailored coat for a sophisticated yet edgy look or rocking the La Mode Hoodie in white with distressed jeans for a more casual vibe. These hoodies are the epitome of LA cool, seamlessly blending with any winter ensemble.

Outerwear: Your Statement Piece

Your outerwear is the first impression, the pièce de résistance, of your winter ensemble. It's the layer that protects you from the elements while showcasing your personal style to the world. This winter, don't be afraid to make a statement. While À La Mode's current collection focuses on stylish streetwear essentials, the right outerwear can elevate these pieces to create a unique winter look.

Imagine layering the La Mode Hoodie under a classic wool coat or a trendy puffer jacket. The contrast between the hoodie's streetwear aesthetic and the more refined outerwear creates a dynamic and fashion-forward look. The key is to choose outerwear that complements the colors and style of your À La Mode pieces. A black wool coat would pair perfectly with the La Mode Hoodie in graphite, while a cream-colored puffer would look stunning with the option in white.

Accessorize to Maximize

No winter outfit is complete without the right accessories. These finishing touches add personality and flair, taking your look from ordinary to extraordinary. A stylish hat is essential for staying warm and on-trend.

The La Mode Trucker Hat in black blends seamlessly with the brand's streetwear aesthetic. Its classic design and adjustable fit make it versatile for any winter outfit. The subtle À La Mode logo adds a touch of brand recognition without being overpowering. 

Picture yourself rocking the La Mode Trucker Hat with the La Mode Hoodie and a pair of the La Mode Joggers—a comfortable and undeniably stylish look. This hat is the perfect way to top off your look and rep the brand at the same time.

The Comfort of Joggers: Street Style Meets Cozy

Winter style isn't just about enduring the cold; it's about embracing it with comfort and flair. This is where the La Mode Joggers shine. These aren't your average sweatpants—they're a carefully crafted blend of comfort and style for those who refuse to compromise.

These joggers are available in black, blue, graphite, and white and offer versatility for any winter wardrobe. The La Mode Jogger in black is a classic choice, perfect for creating a sleek, monochromatic look. Pair it with the La Mode Hoodie in graphite for a sophisticated yet relaxed ensemble perfect for running errands or meeting friends for coffee.

For a pop of color, the La Mode Jogger in blue adds a vibrant touch to your winter wardrobe. Imagine them paired with the La Mode Hoodie in white and a stylish puffer jacket—an eye-catching and effortlessly cool look. The La Mode Jogger in graphite and La Mode Jogger in white offer even more options for creating unique and stylish outfits. The tapered fit and premium fabric ensures these joggers look as good as they feel. They're a testament to À La Mode's commitment to creating fashionable and functional pieces.

Shorts in Winter? A Bold Move

While it might seem unconventional, shorts can be in your winter wardrobe, especially in a city like Los Angeles, where the weather can be unpredictable. Layering shorts with tights or leggings adds an unexpected twist to your look and allows you to showcase your individual style.

The La Mode Shorts in black are a perfect example of this bold approach to winter fashion. These shorts are comfortable and stylish, made from a high-quality fabric blend. Pair them with thick black tights, a chunky knit sweater, and the La Mode Hoodie for an edgy and practical look. They state that you're not afraid to break the rules and embrace your unique style. While the weather outside may say otherwise, you can stay true to your style no matter the season.

Embrace the Power of Texture

Winter is the perfect time to experiment with textures. Mixing and matching different fabrics adds visual interest and depth to your outfits. While À La Mode's current collection focuses on smooth, comfortable fabrics, you can incorporate texture through other outfit elements.

Think about pairing the La Mode Hoodie with a corduroy jacket or a faux fur vest. The contrast in textures will create a visually appealing and dynamic look. You can also add texture through accessories, like a chunky knit scarf or a pair of leather gloves. The La Mode Trucker Hat also adds texture with the mesh in the back of the hat.

Play with Proportions

Layering is all about playing with proportions. Experiment with different lengths and silhouettes to create a balanced and visually appealing look. Pair an oversized hoodie with slim-fitting joggers or a long coat with a shorter hoodie.

The La Mode Hoodie and La Mode Joggers work seamlessly, creating a balanced and stylish silhouette—the slightly oversized fit of the hoodie pairs perfectly with the tapered fit of the joggers. You can also experiment with layering different lengths of outerwear over this combination to create a variety of looks.

Color Your World

While neutrals are always a safe bet, don't be afraid to inject some color into your winter wardrobe. A pop of color can brighten up a dreary day and add a touch of personality to your look. À La Mode's collection features classic neutral colors that will be a staple in your wardrobe. The La Mode Jogger—blue is a perfect way to add that pop of color.
