A great layered outfit starts with pieces you already enjoy wearing. Work from light to heavy, and give every layer a purpose.
Start with a soft foundation
A fine cotton tee or lightweight knit sits comfortably beneath a cardigan. Choose a neckline that works with your outer layer and keep the first layer close to the body.
Add shape with your second layer
A relaxed cardigan, waistcoat or crisp shirt adds interest. Balance a loose top with straight trousers, or tuck the front of your knit into jeans to define your waist.
Finish with a versatile coat
A camel, charcoal or chocolate coat works with a wide range of outfits. Make sure the shoulders leave room for your knitwear so the layers feel comfortable when you move.
Bring the look together
Repeat one color in your shoes or bag. A simple palette of cream, denim and brown makes everyday pieces feel intentional. Change into loafers for a polished lunch or ankle boots for a cooler evening.
