2. The Layering Pieces

Layering is one of the simplest ways to create comfortable, polished outfits, especially as the weather shifts. The right knit gives warmth without weight and adds shape without bulk.

This guide introduces the three Cloud pieces designed specifically for layering. They sit neatly under coats, over dresses, or paired with shirts and long sleeve tops, allowing you to build outfits with ease.


These are the styled that create structure in a wardrobe. Light enough to wear indoors, soft enough for everyday use, and designed to work seamlessly with the rest of your knits.

The Three Layering Shapes

1. Cloud Two Round Neck Layering Knit

Clean, minimal, and reliably versatile.

The round neck layering knit is the simplest of the three shapes. It has a cropped, boxy fit that pairs naturally with high waisted trousers and skirts. The neckline sits close without feeling tight and creates a smooth line that works with almost any under layer.


Because it is knitted in Cloud Two, it has a soft presence that makes the piece feel substantial without adding heat. It slips easily under coats or jackets and makes an ideal indoor knit on mild days.


Best for: a minimal look, layering over shirts or dresses, or pairing with structured coats.

2. Cloud Two V Neck Layering Knit

Light, flattering, and easy to style.

The V neck version offers the same cropped and boxy shape, but with an open neckline that brings a little more definition to the upper body. The angle of the V naturally lengthens the line of the neck and is especially useful when layering over long sleeve tops or dresses where a touch of the under layer is meant to show.


It is one of the most versatile Cloud layering knits, offering the softness of Cloud Two with a clean and feminine shape.


Best for: adding shape to layered looks and for anyone who prefers a more open neckline.

3. Cloud Two Button Side Vest

Structure without sleeves.

The vest is a different type of layering piece. Sleeveless, with a classic crew neckline and side buttons, it adds shape and interest without adding warmth to the arms. This makes it ideal for indoor layering or for days when a jumper feels too heavy.


The dipped hem offers a little extra length at the back while the side button detail gives flexibility in how the piece sits on the body. It works well over blouses, shirts, dresses, and fine knits, and can pull an outfit together in a single step.


Best for: adding structure to simple outfits, layering over shirts, or creating a more styled look without extra bulk.

How to Choose Between the Layering Pieces

Each shape offers something different.


Choose Round Neck if you want a clean, simple layer that works under almost everything.


Choose V Neck if you want a lengthening neckline or like to show the layer beneath.


Choose Vest if you want shape without sleeves and a piece that brings definition to your outfit.

 

Many end up using more than one. A round neck for everyday wear, a V neck for refined layering, and a vest for structured looks.

Why Layering Matters


Layering pieces create flexibility in a wardrobe. They allow you to adjust to changing temperatures, add colour or contrast to an outfit, and create shape in a way that feels natural and effortless.


These three Cloud styles are designed for exactly that. Light, breathable, and comfortable, they let you build outfits that work from morning to evening without needing to change layers.
