With this unpredictable weather, where one minute its freezing and the next the sun is scotching hot, you can still look for ways of remaining trendy by layering up your outfits.

By doing this, ensure that you add on and take off some pieces throughout the day. A handbag is also necessary where one keep an umbrella, water capes and stockings.

Joy Uwimana is a designer and owner of Joy Little Boutique at Kigali City Market. She says that one can still look fashionable only if they know how to pull off their outfits well.

For instance, going for print sweaters, which are somehow light and can be still worn despite of the weather change is ideal.

On top of that, she says one can add a scarf to make a statement. You can go all day long without thinking much on whether it will rain or not, and when it becomes too hot, one still has an option of removing one piece and still remain fashionable and comfortable.

"Another outfit you need in your closet is a long sleeved light top, a pair of skinny jeans and flat or high heeled closed shoes, which are light and comfortable, to provide warmth even after it has been raining,” she adds.

She also advises one to incorporate color which can come in flower or pattern form.

"Your outfit doesn’t have to be boring, adding a catchy look like going for floral printed blouse paired with medium wash jeans, will enhance your look, and yet still make you prepared for weather changes,” she says.

Again, for an added layer of warmth, throw on a blazer that is easily removable any time. Accessorizing your look with drop earrings and a handbag will finish up your look

Uwimana says that the whole idea of trying out layering options is to enable one to make their outfits work even during the sunny period. She says that when one understands how to layer up their outfits without color clashing, they can still look stunning in whatever they decide to put on.

Uwimana also advises that above all these, for one to be more comfortable the whole day; adjustment is all that is needed.
