How to Layer Clothes for Fall

5 tips that will keep you stylish and warm, from simple sweaters to the right pair of boots.

5 Tips That Will Keep You Stylish and Warm

There's a chill in the air. While it might not be cold enough for a winter jacket and snow boots, nobody wants to be caught in the crisp autumn air without warm, cozy layers. This is the perfect time of year to start layering up favorite fashion finds, and these five tips make it easy to stay comfy while looking your best.

Keep It Simple

Sweaters are really a fall best friend. They're a great and easy way to add warmth to an outfit without wearing a bulky jacket. As one of the most versatile layering pieces, sweaters also work well over button-down and flannel shirts. For an extra elevated touch, they look chic styled over slip dresses too.

Layer Your Hoodies

For anyone who loves the comfort and convenience of a hoodie, there are a few great ways to layer it for fall:

  1. Wear a button-down flannel over it
  2. Add a jean, leather, or bomber jacket on top
  3. Try layering with a peacoat or blazer for a more polished look

These are just a few ways to get creative with a hoodie. Mixing different colors and materials adds even more personalization to the whole look.

Quick answer

At Label Shopper, layering for fall comes down to five easy tips: keep it simple with a sweater, layer a hoodie under a flannel or jacket, stay in the same color family for a cohesive look, build around a classic pair of denim jeans, and finish with boots that pair with nearly any bottom.

Stay in the Same Color Family

This tip is straightforward yet important for keeping an outfit looking cohesive. When adding different patterns and textures, keeping clothes in the same color family helps the outfit look more put together and less busy. The easiest way to do this is by layering pieces of a similar color or adding neutrals, since a neutral accessory like a purse pairs well with nearly anything already in the outfit.

Try Denim Jeans

Denim jeans are one of the most classic fall layering pieces. They go with so many different patterns, styles, and clothing combinations that they're a true fall fashion staple. Creating a cute fall look is as simple as adding a statement sweater and a pair of boots on top.

Go With Boots

Boots and fall go together hand-in-hand. Styling an outfit with boots means they essentially pair with any skirt, jeans, leggings, or bottom, while also keeping feet warm and protected from fall rain and dew. A favorite summer skirt works with knit or sheer tights underneath and a pair of boots, or jeans tucked into boots create a more polished fall look. The styling possibilities are nearly endless.
