Additional layering tips:
Color Palette - When layering outfits, the color scheme is the key. It can either make or break your outfit. A wise choice is for fall color combinations like blue and camel tones, black and tan, burgundy and green, etc.
Fabric – You can choose different fabrics when curating an outfit. Because it is the fall season, denim, wool, and cotton are the best options.
Proportions – Proportion is very important in any outfit. The safe option when layering is to match the tones of your jacket and shoes.
One bulky item is fine – Keeping the layers on a lighter side is the wise thing to do. Choose one pair like a bulky sweater or a teddy bear jacket or an oversized scarf to create a statement. This trick will keep you warm and stylish at the same time.
Have fun with layering – The art of layering takes practice. The key to pulling off any look with confidence is to be comfortable with what you wear. You can choose to double layer. For example, wear a denim jacket over your graphic t-shirt. Button it up halfway and add a cardigan on top. This way your silhouette will not be bulky because there is a balanced choice of fabric.
