Introduction

Summertime usually conjures up images of breezy days, picnics, and sunny brunches.

What if, however, you could wear your favorite sleeveless clothing into the winter without getting cold? The secret is to become proficient in layering and astute styling.

You don't have to put sleeveless dresses, blouses, or tank tops in the back of your closet because the weather is bad.

Winter fashion with sleeveless tops can be warm, stylish, and daring all at once.

This blog will explain how to layer sleeveless tops winter, offer styling ideas, and offer helpful hints to make your winter ensembles look stylish and useful.

1. Base Layers

Base Layers are your first line of defense when it comes to styling sleeveless in cold weather. Your first line of defense adds in the warmth without the bulk, and still lets your sleeveless top get all the attention.

If you are planning to layer your thermals under your sleeveless tops when it comes to styling sleeveless in cold weather, then go for thermals made of merino wool and bamboo blend, as they offer you a snug fit, while wicking away moisture and odor.

Don’t go for cotton-based thermals as they trap in the body moisture, making you feel rather colder and smelly.
