Quick answer
Layer the Capas Jacket by starting with a thin, fitted base, adding a lightweight mid layer, and finishing with the jacket as your outer piece. This keeps you warm without adding bulk.
Why layering matters for the Capas Jacket
The Capas Jacket is made from 100% brushed wool, which provides natural insulation but can feel warm when worn directly over bare skin or a single thick sweater. Layering lets you adjust comfort as temperatures change.
Because the jacket includes a self belt, you can cinch the waist over layers for a defined silhouette. This works especially well when your base and mid layers are smooth and not too bulky.
Step-by-step layering guide
- Start with a thin base layer: Choose a fitted long-sleeve tee or a fine-knit turtleneck in a neutral color. This prevents bulk and allows the jacket to drape smoothly. Common mistake: wearing a thick sweater as a base, which makes the jacket feel tight and restricts movement. A silk or merino base works best under wool.
- Add a lightweight mid layer: If you need extra warmth, add a thin cashmere or cotton crewneck sweater. Keep the fabric smooth and not oversized. Common mistake: using a chunky knit as a mid layer, which creates visible lumps under the jacket. The mid layer should be no thicker than the jacket itself.
- Finish with the Capas Jacket and belt: Put on the jacket and fasten the self belt at your natural waist. Adjust the belt tension so the jacket skims your layers without pulling. Common mistake: leaving the belt too loose, which hides your silhouette and makes the outfit look shapeless. Cinch the belt just enough to define your waist without compressing the layers.
- Accessorize for polish and practicality: Add a thin scarf or a pair of gloves for extra warmth. Choose accessories that match the jacket's brushed texture rather than shiny fabrics. Common mistake: using a bulky scarf that pushes the jacket collar out of shape. Stick to fine-knit or silk accessories to keep the look streamlined.
