Layer Like a Pro: 5 Stylish Ideas to Keep You Warm & Chic

With the days getting shorter and the temperatures starting to cool, it’s time to talk fall layers. In this month’s blog we break it down category by category so that you’re prepared to weather temperature fluctuations with less stress and more joy.

#1 Beyond Jean Jackets
Yes, jean jackets are often the first layer many reach for during the early days of fall. As we move through October, think barn coats, leather and suede jackets, light puffer coats and vests, and updated bombers.

#2 Base Layers
Base layers do more than keep you warm. Cotton tees, thermal long sleeves, denim shirts and silk & lace camis are all key players in fall’s lovely layering game.

#3 Sweater Weather
There are so many beautiful sweaters trending now in new ways. Oversized cardigans over fall dresses, preppy argyles with cool-girl jeans, matching cardigan sets over full skirts and cropped trousers. Treat yourself to one in a cut, fabric and color you adore!

#4 Key Fall Accessories
Wraps, shawls, scarfs and belts help you layer like a pro. Consider the weight of these items and how they speak to the pieces in your ensemble when folding them into your look.

#5 Foot & Legwear
Fall layering requires an eye for foot and legwear too. Boots, sneakers, loafers, sandals, clogs, tights and socks all have a starring role!
