Dannii Minogue thinks layering can "boost the versatility of your wardrobe".

The Australian beauty believes the technique is an ideal way to make a "graceful transition" from the cold winter air to a heated room inside and it can allow people to "highlight your individuality" by teeming a number of garments together to create various looks.

She said: "The focus is definitely on keeping warm, snuggling up and doing whatever it takes to survive the last stretch before spring arrives.

"The good news is that layering with different textures, fabrics and patterns was one of this season's hottest trends on Fashion Week runways.

"Layering boosts the versatility of your wardrobe because you can mix and match pieces to achieve all sorts of unique looks that highlight your individuality.

"And layering is the best way to make a graceful transition from the chilly outdoors to central heating inside."

The 40-year-old star found layering to be a great technique when she was pregnant with 18-month-old son Ethan - her first child with partner Kris Smith - and she also enjoys mixing prints and textures.

She added in her column for Britain's Glamour magazine: "I really got into layering when I was pregnant with Ethan. I had so many pairs of jeggings and leggings, lots of stretchy long-sleeved tops and a couple of long cardigans and scarves, which were great to wrap around me when I was feeling protective of my bump."
