Autumn is all about layering fits and making the best out of them. Let us beckon this season and embrace the art of layering. The art of layering is not just about warmth but the textures add an artistic look.
The layering options are endless and mixture of colors, textures and patterns while you are in the cozy zone. But not all layering is easy sometimes it makes you look like an inflated balloon, so here are the tips you need elevate your fall wardrobe.
Start with a Solid Base
The foundation of any layering is crucial. Start with a solid base that is lightweight and breathable in fabrics like merino wool or cotton. Go for a fitted under layer such as a turtleneck or a classic long-sleeve tee. These hug the figure nicely and do not suffocate you in the layering process.
Use neutral colors such as black, white and beige as your under-layer garment which compliments each layer you put on them by mixing and matching.
Add a Stylish Mid-Layer
The mid-layer comes next after the under layer which is more prominent and demand more attention. Go for a chunky knit sweater, a cardigan, or a sleeveless bomber jacket. Try out different textures in knit showcasing the autumn colors like deep reds, army greens and burnt oranges. These colors ooze warmth and add visual interest to your outfit.
You can also choose patterns such as checks, plaids and florals this autumn. These patterns add a personality to your solid under layer and complete your look.
Outer Layer: Function Meets Fashion
The outer layer is the most important one and crucial element in your styling. A tailored blazer, a chunky knitted cardigan and a classic trench can make your look 10/10. They also fight the weather chills with you and offer flattering silhouettes irrespective of the layering. Invest in a statement coat which has a neutral color that can be worn from formal to informal events.
Accessorize Wisely
Accessories have always been important and so are they this fall season too. Scarves, hats and gloves are the accessories that are both essential and complimentary for you. They add a pop to every look and give an insight of your taste.
A chunky knit scarf with an attractive print and wool hat provides warmth and fashion to your look. Choose different styles and materials in your accessories. It could be a beanie or an infinity scarf which can make your look more interesting. Also, jewelry is one heck of an accessory. You could choose stacked bracelets or a layered necklace for a touch of elegance to your autumn attire.
Footwear Matters
Autumn looks are completed with the right footwear. Ankle, knee-high and court shoes are the life of this season. You could also go for chunky sneakers that give a platform look to your layered outfit.
Consider choosing boots with a bit of a heel for added style, but ensure they remain comfortable for those long autumn strolls.
