It’s time to get out those fuzzy sweaters and put together some stylish layered looks for the fall and winter. 🌨️❄️
Layer clothes to make a statement and stay warm. Yes, please! Layer clothes to make the most of each piece and to create a dynamic and interesting look. Sign me up! I mean, why not? With the right layers, you can make your outfit look like it’s from a magazine spread.
As a college student, I have to get particularly creative when it comes to layering for the colder months. Last year, during one especially chilly day in my freshman year of college, I had all the essentials but was still freezing. So, I decided to go above and beyond with a third layer, a fuzzy overcoat. It worked like a charm; suddenly, I was toasty warm without sacrificing style.
After much trial and error, I’ve discovered the key to layering like a pro: Balance. Proportion, texture, and color are all important variables to consider in order to achieve the perfect look.
It’s important to Layer clothes in such a way that nothing looks bulky or out of place (you don’t want to look like you are going on a polar expedition!🏂🏽). Textures like corduroy and faux fur add an interesting dimension to the look. And when it comes to color, Try sticking to neutrals with a pop of color for contrast.

1. Start by thinking about the activities you’ll be doing

For fall weather, start by picking out a lightweight jacket and a scarf that will keep you warm but not too hot. Layer on some stylish ankle boots and a floppy hat for the perfect fall look. Layer on some cute patterned leggings or a pair of jeans to complete the look.
2. Get your layers (fall/winter) right and know how to wear them
Get your layers on lock and you’ll be ready for anything this fall and winter throws your way!
First things first – make sure that your base layer is fitting perfectly. Whether you’re wearing a tank top, camisole, or thin shirt with long or short sleeves – find the one that’s snug but not restrictive – wicking away moisture and keeping you comfortable.
Layer up with a mid-layer for extra warmth – think of it as a hug to your body! It’s like wearing an extra blanket but way more stylish.
Last – cover up with outerwear that weatherproofs the entire you! From puffer coats and vests to wool coats to denim jackets – be ready for rain, snow, or just a bit of chill in the air.
3. Plan your outfits around your favorite pieces
Planning an outfit for the colder months can be tricky, but layering is a great way to make sure that you’re comfortable and still look stylish.
Start with your favorite pieces—like a comfy sweater that can be dressed up or down, or a pair of jeans that go with everything—and then add layers to create your perfect look. Layer a pair of patterned leggings underneath some relaxed jeans and a long hoodie for an on-trend, cozy look.
Try wearing a flannel shirt over a graphic tee and add some chunky boots for a casual but put-together vibe. Wear a zip-up over an oversized dress and sneakers for a unique, sporty look.
Get creative with your layering and you’ll be sure to turn some heads. With the right pieces, you can transition from day to night easily.
4. Add layers as needed to keep warm – scarves, hats, and jackets are perfect for this
Scarves, hats, and jackets are essential for keeping warm in chilly weather.
Layer up with a cute scarf to add texture and style to your outfit – choose a patterned, oversized scarf for an easy and cozy look. Hats are also great for adding an extra bit of warmth and style. Layer with a beanie or fedora for an edgy look.
And lastly, don’t forget the jackets! Layer up with a lightweight windbreaker for a casual look, or a denim jacket to give your outfit an extra pop. Try incorporating a stylish coat for added warmth and style on those chilly days.
5. Have fun with it! Experiment with different colors and styles to see what looks best on you
Layer clothes that you have in your closet, and don’t be afraid to mix-and-match different colors and styles.
Do you want to rock a graphic tee and a plaid skirt? Go for it. Feeling bold with two different prints? Layer them! How about a favorite denim jacket with a cozy sweater and pair it with combat boots? Throw in a chunky knit scarf with your favorite turtleneck.
Get creative, have fun, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different looks. Who knows – you may end up creating a jaw-dropping outfit that will become your go-to for the season! Layer it up and make your own fashion statement this fall and winter.
