How To Edit Your Signature Fall Look, Layer By Layer With Key Pieces We Discovered On Prime Wardrobe

by Kate Marin

There’s no better trend than one that’s both stylish and totally practical, which is precisely why we’ve crowned layering the hallmark of fall style. Once the weather cools down, more can truly be more (think: mixed knit sweaters, turtlenecks layered beneath your go-to slip dresses, cozy statement coats, and flowy maxi skirts). Layering offers the perfect opportunity to mix your most reliable wardrobe staples with your newest on-trend pick-ups to completely transform your look.

With that said, after a summer spent attempting to wear the least amount of layers possible, getting back into the swing of things can feel a little rusty. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Prime Wardrobe to bring you four fall-ready looks, all layered with incredible pieces you can try on at home before you buy. With Prime Wardrobe you only pay for what you keep, and free returns make it easy to find your next fall layering formula. From tailored blazers to hiking-inspired boots, these are the new building blocks for an expertly-layered, signature fall look.

Bold Knits + Maxis + Hiking-Inspired Boots

Mixing girly staples like dresses and maxi skirts with more masculine accessories like a bulky hiking boot is a fun way to explore your personal style. Paired with an oversized knit sweater and a structured bag, this look is ready to be remixed all season long.

Denim + Knits + Patents + Fleece

Denims, knits, patent leathers, and fleeces are necessary for any cozy fall look — but who’s to say you can’t have them all at once? We’re embracing our inner maximalist and mixing these fall wardrobe staples with a few statement accessories to tie the look together.

Statement Coats + Lots of Leather

Pants, boots, leggings, and bags — fall is proving you really can’t have too much of a good thing. Reach for your best leathers, an asymmetrical silk button-up, and intricately patterned coat for a bold look that’s effortless to achieve.

Tailored Suiting + Slips

A ‘90s-inspired layering trick made totally modern, a simple tee or turtleneck beneath a strappy slip dress is proving to be a timeless look. This velvet one we found is the perfect fall swap for our summer silks. And for a more work-ready feel and extra versatility, layer on a tailored double-breasted blazer. Chunky sneakers balance the look while keeping it current.
