‘Tis the season to embrace those scarves and puffers again! Pull out your big coats and get ready to layer up with these simple steps to creating the perfect cold-weather outfit.
Follow this guide to stay cozy and fashionable this fall.
- Establish a Thin Base
-
Start with a simple turtle neck, long-sleeve shirt, or a tank top as your initial layer. Opt for a solid color to make coordinating with the rest of your outfit easier. Consider adding a loose T-shirt over your base layer to amp up the warmth factor.
When it comes to lower garments, warm shorts, tights, or leggings are ideal for staying cozy, depending on your intended top layer. If you choose to wear leggings, look for a pair that falls above the ankle to prevent them from being visible with your following bottoms.
- What To Stack Next
-
Your second layer serves as the primary source of warmth and an opportunity to make a style statement.
Combine a crew neck, hoodie, or sweatshirt with your base layer. While it’s great to stick to solid colors, don’t shy away from designs or different colors that complement your outfit.
Loose-fitting jeans complement tights, shorts, or leggings well. If you opt for tights, consider pairing them with a skirt or cargo pants. When it comes to shorts, they pair nicely with long skirts, which offer both comfort and style.
- Add a Statement Piece
-
This third layer is crucial for blocking the wind and serves as your statement piece. Consider adding a windbreaker, coat, vest, puffer, or leather jacket to your existing layers.
Limiting yourself to two layers on your lower body provides flexibility while walking, but if you still feel chilly, consider layering both tights and shorts during step one and applying this to step two.
- Footwear
-
