The Winter Layering Hack Every Fashion Insider Wears on Repeat
Winter is all about stealth layering. At least, that is where I think wardrobes really shine during the coldest months of the year. If you’re interested in adopting some directional layering ideas this season, look no further than the cool winter sweater outfits that every fashion person is wearing with knits tied over outerwear. While this is something that has been around forever and is not new this season, we’ve seeing this picking up recently—especially with knits over coats and blazers as we ahead into the winter months.
The best part? This winter stying hack utilizes pieces you might already own. Just grab your go-to cashmere knit, straight-leg jeans, ankle boots, and a tailored coat—or a similar variation of this outfit formula—and you have a sleek, winter-ready look. Ahead, see how fashion people are wear it, and shop winter pieces inspired by their looks.
For a transitional look, build your outfit around a denim jacket and loafers.
The more layers, the better. This look is also proof that chunky knits double as scarves.
Opt for a sweater in a color that pops against your outerwear.
Tonal outfits are always a chic choice.
Layering, perfected. The sweater on the shoulder adds just the right amount of dimension to this outfit.
I love how knits add a degree of texture when layered over outerwear.
