Fall is in full swing and winter is just around the corner. When it comes to dressing, this time of year is all about layering.
Layering is one of the most useful strategies to dressing fashionably while staying comfortable.

Must Have Layering Essentials for Fall & Winter
Look 1: Layer under
A less obvious one but a tight-fitting plain or patterned layer underneath a dress or jumper can add a great pop of interest. Also think about using shirts and blouses under jumpers – show the cuffs and collars intentionally.

Look 2: Layer up with a blouse and dress
We love a button-up and this look is another reason why basics are essential to one’s wardrobe. Instead of layering a tee under a dress try a button-down. By layering a button-down under a tank dress and pairing the look with snake booties, you can give this summer dress new life.
