Each season is marked by its unique fashion patterns, and after the few months of summer’s heat, fall is all about cool mornings and evenings and staying warm in the crisp autumn months. Fall fashion 2025 is all about layering—an artful balance of comfort, warmth, and style. Beloved by sweater wearers and transitional dressers alike, layering gives new life to your wardrobe by pairing timeless basics with trend-forward pieces.

The Foundation of Layering : Good Basics 

The key to successful layering lies in strong foundation pieces. Think classic white and black t-shirts, long sleeves, lightweight knits, and tailored blazers—wardrobe staples that work with nearly everything. These timeless essentials anchor your outfit while allowing outer layers and accessories to shine.

For Fall 2025, we’re loving PerfectWhiteTee and Citizens of Humanity for their high-quality basics that fit seamlessly into any wardrobe. Long-sleeve layers come in a variety of styles and are as timeless as crewnecks or turtlenecks peeking out from under sweaters, cardigans, and button-downs. These staples are perfect for adding a pop of color beneath all of fall’s cozy neutrals.

The Perfect Shell : Blazers 

Once you’ve built your foundation with all the foundational silhouettes, it’s time to add structure and texture. Blazers instantly elevate even the most casual outfit while keeping you warm during chilly mornings and evenings. This is the perfect shell to create a dimensional effect within your outfit. 

The Best Blazer Addition: The Dickey 

We also love seeing Dickeys paired with Veronica Beard’s Blazers for an addition touch of color and texture. Available in so many styles this season, the Dickey reimagines any blazer into a new piece, perfect for when your outfit is missing that extra something. 

The Layering Objective : Color Meets Texture

Layering textures adds both depth and visual complexity by simply layering a fix of textures through fur, knits, corduroy, suede, and other textures. Layering textures tells a story, and fall offers the perfect opportunity to bring out all of the textures that were hidden over the summer. 

A luxurious fur coat is the perfect statement addition to any piece, instantly elevating any outfit. This fall season, we are loving Apparis and The Great for their cozy and elevated pieces. Slinky slip skirts and dresses pair beautifully with the chucky overcoats and are a great use of the summery favorites. 

The ASSK NY and THe Great perfectly executes this objective by paring bright colors with quilted patterns with denim and fur accents. 

Don't be afraid to experiment this fall season, layering is more than a styling trick, its an art form. The key is balance through mixing warm colors with structure, and class tones with unexpected pops of color.  Whether you’re dressing for work, weekend errands, or an evening out, layering invites you to play and redefine what your outfit means to you.
