The weather is cooling down and that means it’s time for a fun and stylish wardrobe shift. When it comes to staying warm (and looking amazing), layering is definitely the functional hack worth relying on. Layering outfits lets you plan for the shifting weather and a multitude of environments, making it easy to go from the crisp air to a cozy coffee shop—without breaking a sweat. Now’s the time to stock up on all your fall layering essentials and we’ve got you covered with Draper James fall staples you’ll love.
How to Layer Without Looking Bulky
While you’ll want to be cozy when layering outfits, you’ll likely want to avoid looking bulky—and feeling uncomfortable. We’re sharing tips on ditching the bulk, so you can face these upcoming chilly days with confidence. When layering outfits, order matters. You’ll want to start your look off with a fitted base layer, like a turtleneck, tanktop, or tight tee. Then, you can start adding on your loose and relaxed layers, like cardigans, blazers, or coats.
Want to kick your layered look up a notch? Don’t be afraid to play around with texture when it comes to your fall layering essentials. If you’re rocking a soft knit sweater, you may want to consider a more structured coat to finish off the outfit. Similarly, if you’re feeling a bit more casual and adventurous, opting for a slouchy sweater or loose-fitting coat as your outside layer can give your look more dimension—and take your fall or winter fashion journey to new heights.
