Gone are the days when heading to work required a crisp suit and tie. Thanks to the rise of street style, sartorial elegance is far more causal than it once was and luckily, looks just as good. With the weather cooling down in Australia, its time to layer up with a youthful spin. While you can’t go past a tailored coat, sportswear is making an impact this season and according to ICON Fashion Director, Kim Payne, when it comes to bulking up “size matters”!

“When thinking of how to coat up, think big. In fact the more oversized the better. Whether you’re on the slopes or in the city the puffer can be worn over a suit, denim or your favourite track suit,” she advises.

You can’t go wrong with a The North Face puffer iteration thanks to its blend of street appeal and innovative utility and nowadays, the brand is constantly doing creative collaborations for the dresser who likes to make a statement.

To avoid looking too heavy apply the golden rule to layering: Start with lighter layers on the bottom before moving to heavy, thicker layers on top. To get the look, shop below.
