The Season of Beautiful Layers

A softer approach to dressing for cooler days.

Start with the essentials

Layering is most useful when every piece can stand on its own. A fine knit, a lightweight jacket and a roomy coat allow you to respond to the day without losing the shape of your outfit.

Find your balance

Work from the thinnest fabric outwards, and leave a little ease between each layer. A glimpse of shirt collar or knit cuff can make the combination feel deliberate.

Make it your own

Keep the bottom half simple when the top has several layers. Straight trousers or a fluid skirt let the textures speak, while a thoughtful shoe keeps the look grounded.
