5 layering techniques that will make you look like a style queen.
Style is all about the layering. Some of the most stylish outfits stand out because they combine timeless wardrobe staples with on-trend layering. It creates both a fresh, modern vibe and practical solution for sometimes unpredictable temperatures.
While classic combinations—like a tee under a cardigan topped with a trench—always work, I’ve found several standout outfits that feel especially current and cool. These looks are not only perfect for Fall/Winter 2024, but they might even make people wonder if you’ve enlisted a stylist to upgrade your wardrobe. Tell them it’s Kenni ;)
Scroll on for some layering tips, complete with shopping inspiration.
V-neck sweater + white tee + leather jacket + jeans
Layer a crisp white tee under your sweaters for a stylish twist on wardrobe basics. Complete the look with '90s-inspired denim, a belt and a leather jacket for an effortlessly cool, everyday outfit that's easy to pull off. Literally nothing more chic.
Denim overalls + long coat + t-shirt + kitten heel
Don’t sleep on overalls during the Fall/Winter seasons—they're much more versatile than you might think. Right now, fashion people and celebrities are wearing them underneath a long maxi coat. It brings an unexpected and elevated feel to the otherwise casual piece making them feel more fashion and less farm.
Trouser + crew neck sweater + t-shirt + scarf
The coolest way to style a white tee is by letting it peek out from under a crewneck sweater. This simple layering trick gives your everyday basics a fresh, modern vibe. It pairs great with everything from jeans to a sequin skirt or a long silk maxi.
Pant suit + button down shirt + tank
It’s business casual. The smartest layering lies in the small details. Next time you wear a collared shirt with a blazer, let the collar rest over the blazer's lapels for an extra touch of style.
Blazer + turtleneck + button down + jeans + sneakers
Such a cool weekend fall vibe. It’s casual yet tailored. If this many layers gives you claustrophobia then just opt for the turtleneck + blazer combo and it’s just as chic.
