As the weather gets cooler and you transition from iced to hot lattes, the need for a cute cover-up that doesn’t leave you sweating your foundation off is at an all-time high. So, don’t throw your breezy summer outfits away just yet, because it’s officially layering season. And yes, there is a way to incorporate your signature style into a look that keeps you warm (and cool) when the weather can’t make up its mind.
While the weather may be confusing with its constant switches from hot to cold within a matter of minutes, you should always be prepared to break on or off your layers and work them with ease. Even though we go through the painful parting of our favorite summer pieces, fall has something so much better in store! A little wind doesn’t stop the show, so ~carpe diem~ in these denim jackets that should be in your shopping carts and on your arms in no time.
