Wear a Button Down Under A Sweater
Add some oomph back to a boring old sweater by wearing it over a classic white button down shirt. Throw a moto jacket over it, like 9 to 5 Chic’s Anh Sundstrom, to add some edge to your cozy, preppy look.

Layer In All Black Everything
For an instantly chic look, dress yourself in one color from head to toe. From her beanie (seen here) to her boots, Atlantic-Pacific’s Blair Eadie nails this polished look in her achromatic ensemble.

Throw A Crop Top Over A Button Down
Leave it to Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine to think of a way to style a crop top into a cold-weathered outfit. Here, she wears a white halter top over a button down shirt, tucked into a skirt, worn over a pair of opaque tights. This = layered perfection.

Balance Fluffy With Skinny
The biggest challenge regarding layering is wearing an outfit that doesn’t make you look wide. The best way to balance fluffy and furry knits and coats is to wear slim-fit bottoms, like Sea of Shoes’s leather skinnies.

Wear A Jacket Over A Jacket
There’s no need in deciding between two of your favorite jackets. Instead, layer them on top of one another, like Sincerely Jules’s plaid over denim. It’s also the perfect opportunity to continue wearing your lighter jackets from spring, summer, and fall.
