Oh the evening temps, they are a changin’!

As the weather cools off, it’s time to think about adding layers that can be mixed in with all the things you love to wear: jeans, skirts, dresses, and your fave athleisure looks.

Best advice? You do YOU. Focus on the kind of layers you’re most comfortable wearing (are you a nylon zip jacket kind of gal or are you more team cozy cashmere?) and add that.

We say: focus on details that matter—flattering necklines, good hardware, thoughtful size zips—and choose what flatters your shape:

  • For large breasts or a broad upper body, look for V-necks, relaxed cuts to avoid pulling along the chest, or a longer (hip length or below) jacket.
  • Need some mid-section camouflage? A long duster will visually slim your middle, or try side zips at the hem for extra midsection wiggle room.
  • Are you short-waisted? Try a cropped-style jacket that hits at the waist.

We’ve rounded up our favorite pieces—some classic, some a little more current—in various styles, shapes, and fabrics.

Go ahead, and layer on a bit of style.
