As the trees shed their coats, we begin to unpack ours in hopes of bearing the Blacksburg autumn. With that being said, jackets aren’t the only way to stay warm this season. Playing around with layers can not only up your fashion game, but also keep you cozy on your walk to class. Whether you enjoy a splash of color in your outfits, or prefer a palette of neutrals, these combinations are the perfect way to spice up your look.
- Scarf and Sweater
-
Knitwear of all kinds are at their peak in the trend cycle right now, especially scarves. The combination of a chunky-scarf and chunky-sweater is all over social media, and is totally Pinterest-worthy. This look is very forgiving as essentially any pairing of colors, patterns and textures can look fashionable while keeping you warm.
- Fleece-Lined Tights
-
One of the best fashion accessories that will save you from freezing and allow you to wear practically anything is fleece-lined tights and leggings. They can be worn under any skirt or dress, and will look just like a regular pair of tights due to their skin-colored lining. And in the extreme cold, they can even be paired with jeans.
- Denim Jacket
-
Denim is a fall staple, especially in the form of a jacket. People often underestimate the power of a simple denim jacket, but it can be worn with almost anything as either fitted or oversized. Pair it with your favorite sweater or a long-sleeve and a scarf, and wear your favorite colorful denim bottoms for a 2000’s inspired autumn outfit.
- Subtle t-shirt
-
If you are looking for a more simplistic layered fall look, adding a colorful shirt underneath your sweater is the perfect touch. If you are wearing a patterned sweater, pick a shirt in one of the accent colors. As for solid sweaters, neutrals and complimentary colors tend to work best.
- button-down
-
In the past couple of years, button-down shirts have taken the fashion world by storm as a closet staple. These shirts can be worn in a myriad of ways, but the most popular would be under any form of crewneck. Pop the collar of the shirt, fold up the sleeves, and you’re good to go.
