If you live in an area like mine, you might also be wondering, "Who has the weather on shuffle?" One day, it’s brutally cold, then it feels like spring with a touch of summer, and now winter is back again—I can’t keep up! 😅

Since winter has made its way back around, I think this is a great time to revisit and repurpose this blog for any season by following these steps. With temperatures dropping, layering is the perfect way to stay warm and stylish. While many of us have mastered this art over the years, some are just getting started.

The good news? Layering is simpler than it seems! Start with a base layer and build from there—I like to call it "Basic Layering for Beginners." Once you're comfortable with the essentials, you can get creative and experiment with your look.


Step 1: Start with a Base Layer

The base layer is the foundation of your outfit. Choose something lightweight and fitted to keep you warm without adding bulk. 

 

Step 2: Add an Insulating Layer

Next, add a piece that traps heat and keeps you cozy. Opting for a vest instead of a full jacket also allows for more mobility and versatility.

 

Step 3: Accessorize Thoughtfully

Accessories are where functionality meets personality. 

 

Step 4: Mix Textures and Colors

For a more advanced technique, to elevate your look, play with textures and complementary colors. 

 

Step 5: Adjust for the Weather

As the temperature changes throughout the day, layering makes it easy to adjust. You can unzip or remove the vest if it warms up or add a scarf or gloves for extra chill.

In the above photo, we’ve put together a simple yet chic layered outfit using these pieces:

  • Leggings

  • High-collared pullover

  • Long Calvin Klein bubble vest

  • Accessories

For this look, we started with a pair of leggings and a high-collared pullover. These pieces provide warmth and comfort while keeping your silhouette sleek. We chose a long Calvin Klein bubble vest. The puffy texture of the vest provides insulation, while the longer length adds an extra layer of warmth to your core.

To accessorize, we added:

  • A stylish purse for practicality and a pop of sophistication from our boutique.

  • Sneakers for a casual, on-the-go vibe that’s perfect for errands or a day out.

  • Shades to keep things effortlessly cool and polished.
