Anatomy of the Perfect Layer

Tackle this tricky transitional season like a pro by playing with textures and silhouettes that build elegance and intrigue (not just warmth).

Look 1

A crisp white oxford lays a polished foundation so the rest of your outfit can be more relaxed, and an elegant cape coat imparts a sense of drama while streamlining the whole look.

Look 2

Tone-on-tone pieces are slimming and keep the palette clean and concise.  Rethink the cropped top: With a snug fit and curved hem, the right cropped sweater can rein in a looser-menswear inspired button-down.  Continue the elongating (and super flattering) waterfall effect with a coat that hits a good ten inches below your shirt.

Look 3

A sculptural short-sleeve jacket refines sporty separates just enough.  For the ultimate in sleekness, start with a fitted turtleneck. Then top off your sporty look with a pair of track pants and mesh backpack.

Look 4

A boyfriend coat is roomy enough to accommodate whatever you put underneath and should end just a few inches above the skirt.  Inject some color into a neutral palette with soft pink that will give you a skin-flattering glow.
