With fall approaching, it’s time to dust off those bins of sweaters and slowly pack up your summer wardrobe. The days of brisk mornings, cooler dusks, and high winds are upon us, and no matter where you’ll be during the ‘ber months, the upcoming seasons are all about being comfortable yet fashion forward. To successfully do both, we tap into the one trend that’ll never go out of style, layering. 

The point of layering is to stay either warm, or cool, while still attaining an effortlessly chic look. Instead of piling clothes on top of each other, you’re strategically combining different textures, colors, and garments creates a modge podge, that exudes fall. From preppy button-up vests to your sturdy trench coat, here are the items you need to layer this fall successfully. Now that summer is over, let’s see who’s stylish.
