The starting point for layering in fall and transitional seasons is always outerwear, which will become the mainstay of outfits like trench coats.
The best inspiration for layering and creating looks that match the Fall/Winter 2024 fashion trends comes from the fashion capitals, where girls and professionals have continued their “fashion mission” at full speed, with September fashion weeks taking place one after another. The starting point for layering in the fall and when the seasons change is always outerwear, which will become the mainstay of outfits such as trench coats, leather jackets, bomber jackets or jackets. The choice is yours. And if the temperature hasn’t dropped yet and you want to add more clothes, it’s worth considering a combo with a vest.
Super cool and perfect for adding a pop to your September outfit

You can choose looks in the same color to layer in a gradient effect or contrasting tones, or choose one or more pieces like It-girl Heart Evangelista wore at New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025.
Layering multiple pieces requires a certain familiarity with style, paying attention to proportions, lines, and volume of the outfit.
What are the best pieces to layer under a jacket in the fall? The answer is simple and within reach of every wardrobe: shirts, cardigans or pullovers, T-shirts (long or short sleeved) and tank tops. To emphasize the “layering” effect, button-downs like blazers, sweaters and shirts should be left open, to super basic tank tops or nothing at all (for a more daring look). The most skillful will be able to wear them all together, but these pieces are also perfect for being interchangeable and giving life to ever-changing combinations and “layering looks” as well as expressing one’s personal style. All you have to do is try and find your own magic formula.
