The Fall Fashion Lover’s Guide To Effortless Layering
Layering…such a classic and practical styling choice for fall and winter- but why is it so hard to get right? The key to success when layering is to forget the idea that it has to be done perfectly. We believe that fashion and discovering your personal style should be fun, stress-free, and comfortable. Here are some of our favorite ways to incorporate layering into outfits for fall and winter.
Monochrome
Keeping to one color in your look is the best way to approach layering if you want to look extra chic. Monochromatic styling can look minimalistic and simple if you are sporting neutral colors, or it can look unique and eye-catching when wearing bright and vibrant colors.
City Street Chic
This head-to-toe army-green look is perfect for a day or night out in the city. One of the easiest ways to try out a monochromatic look is to find a matching set like this cargo skirt and bomber jacket. If you live in a warmer climate, this is the fall outfit for you with minimal and lightweight layering.

EXPERIMENTAL
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different patterns, textures, and aesthetics when layering! Sometimes the most fun outfits don’t fall into a curated aesthetic, so play around with mixing and matching until you love your look. Staying in one color’s shade range is the easiest way to experiment with putting together pieces you wouldn’t have thought to wear together!

STATEMENT SCARVES
Already cozied up with a sweater and jacket? A statement scarf will be the perfect additional layer for the extra cold days! Scarves are a great way to add a pop of color or a pattern to a neutral look. The Acne Studios Mohair Checked Scarves are some of the best statement scarves on the market, and here is a similar style from Free People. Here are some of our favorite inspo pics from Pinterest:
One of our favorite things about statement scarves like these is that they can challenge the typical fall and winter color palette. Our biggest advice to you is to wear what makes you happy and forget seasonal color rules. □
