We recently discovered the perfect garment for mercurial weather: the bodywarmer! With a bodywarmer, you can head out carefree without having to wonder whether your outfit can handle the day's weather. What’s more, it can be endlessly combined to emphasise your style. Do you like the look but aren’t quite sure how to style it yourself? To get you started, we’re showcasing three different styles with bodywarmers.
- Casual
Athleisure wear is still totally in vogue this winter. If you want a seamless transition to chillier temperatures – the bodywarmer is your friend. Is a timeless classic look your cup of tea? Go for a matching bodywarmer in a complementary colour. Do you enjoy pushing the envelope? Embrace your inner tiger and choose an eye-catching bold colour.
- Layering
The carefully shaped armholes make the bodywarmer perfect for practising your layering technique. Layering is the art of assembling the perfect items to brave all temperatures fashionably. This technique makes it possible to showcase your favourite garments the way they deserve, even when it's cold out. Summer is over; has your favourite puffed sleeve top already been mournfully packed away? No need! The bodywarmer is the perfect way to save it from the musty confines of your cupboard. Irma’s wide armholes will make your top look divine. Wait. Don’t have a top with puffed sleeves yet? Just make the Clemence or Mabel top from Fibre Mood 15!

3. Leatherette
Not enough bells and whistles for you on an ordinary bodywarmer? Explore the wide world of textures and give leatherette a try! Like last year, this trend is taking autumn by storm. A leatherette bodywarmer is perfect for hitting the streets in style and bold this autumn. Fancy trying the trend for yourself? Tilda fabric is just what you’re looking for.
Are you considering a trend mashup? Your bodywarmer can handle it. Matelassé leather(ette), dark green and matelassé, matelassé and green... Let your imagination run wild!
