Now that it’s getting colder, getting dressed in the morning takes a little more thought.
Looking chic and staying warm without bulking up requires a creative eye, balance of fabric weight, and just the right pieces.
This can make getting dressed each morning a challenge, as you need to layer like a pro, which means more decisions to be made about what to wear, what pairs well with what, and so on. Stressful, indeed!
Luckily, layering is a big trend for fall.
Layering is a great way to use all the old clothes in your closet and put together a new look every single time.
The more layers, the merrier: my lessons in layering.
These layering tricks will help you outsmart the weather this season.
Fall is the perfect time to test out your layering skills and utilize some of your existing favorites with this season’s must haves.
– Knit cardigans are making a huge comeback this year, and is a layering dream come true.
The great thing about cardigans is how versatile they are when it comes to styling. For warmer days, you can wear a cardi over  a button-down blouse or a silk dress.
When the days grow colder, you can layer a cardi over a thin knit turtleneck.
– Dresses that can be easily layered are perfect this season – look for dresses that you can layer a turtleneck under or under a chic coat. Pair your dress with a pair of chunky Chelsea boots or combat boots for a cool vibe.
But, dresses over pants became the season’s most directional silhouette.
The dress-over-pants trend is one you’ll either love, hate, or love to hate.
Pull different seasonal pieces – think summer dress over a pair of skinnies, booties or sneakers and a jacket – and see how they might work together.
Will you dare to wear a dress over pants?
The layered look has been a popular trend in recent years, and this season, trendsetters are taking it a bold step further with the dress over pants. If you are thinking of wearing a dress over pants and wondering whether it even makes sense. Yes it does, and you’ll love it. This ‘90s inspired trend is a cool new way to update items you already own by pairing them in a unique way that might not initially come to mind.
Layering a wool cardigan over your favourite dressr is a foolproof way to keep cosy.
It’s actually a styling trick that’s relatively easy to pull off and practical. Layering a dress over pants looks chic, keeps your legs warmer than tights, gives dresses that cool tomboy contrast, and extends your wardrobe by essentially turning a dress into a top or jacket.
After all, this trend is definitely all about experimentation.
