A Masterclass in Fall Layering
More really is more, especially when it comes to layers. A forever fall trend that’s more relevant than ever, layering has reemerged at Fashion Weeks with a coveted maximalist edge, offsetting the order and clean-cut minimalism of previous years and arriving as a much-needed breath of fresh air. Here’s how to emulate the trend this season.
01. Add Turtlenecks & Shirts
Under Everything
The importance of a solid lineup of foundation pieces cannot be overstated. From ribbed and crinkled turtlenecks to crisp white shirts and blouses, stock up on base layers you can confidently wear on their own, with the intention of styling them underneath your staple knitwear. Want to skip a step? Try a layered illusion top to achieve the same effect.
02. When in Doubt, Belt It
Not only is layering an exercise in keeping warm as it gets cold out, but it’s also an opportunity to experiment with dimension and proportion. Make it as playful as it is practical with iconic belts — arguably one of the season’s hottest accessories. Cinch a long cardigan at the waist or complement and elevate your dress and jacket combo.
03. Invest in Wardrobe-Defining
Jackets & Coats
Everybody knows we love a good statement. When the seasonal cool-down rolls around, there’s nothing better than unique, eye-catching jackets and structured coats that are timeless yet impactful all at once. Because the final layer on top of it all is the first impression. Might as well make it count.
