Layering for the fall is easy when you have strategic pieces of clothing in your closet. Be sure to have plain cotton turtlenecks, mock necks, and quarter-sleeve cotton shirts for base layers. For the top layer, light V-neck sweaters, fleece vests, fashion scarves, tank tops, and other basic tops work well.
The best part of layering for Fall is that you can use so many different clothing articles from your wardrobe: summer essentials, winter clothes, and everything in between. And don’t worry, you won’t look bigger if you dress for your body type! A perfectly layered look should make you look amazing. In fact, it should accentuate your assets and hide the imperfection you want to keep away from the world.
5 Steps to a Perfectly Layered Outfit
Start with a basic top or button-down shirt. Opt for neutral colors or a striped top.
Start to add layers. You can add a sweater, a cardigan or a blazer on top. If you love color, now it’s time to add it to the mix.
If it’s really cold outside, put a jacket or coat over your second layer. If you chose a colorful second layer, go back to neutral colors for the jacket or coat. You can opt for the classic black or for an autumnal color. Think olive green, camel or maroon. On the other hand, if the rest of your outfit is neutral, you can wear a statement jacket or coat for a much-needed pop of color. You can opt for autumnal colors here as well. Instead of muted colors, opt for bright colors such as yellow, orange or purple.
Add a scarf! No fall outfit is complete without a scarf! It is the cherry on top of your outfit cake.
Last step – accessories. Choose your favorite accessories, make sure they match your outfit, and you’re ready to go.
At Meadow Boutique we have so many pieces to achieve that layered look. What’s new this week?
This week we have pieces from some of our favorite labels like CHERISH, BLU PEPPER, STACCATO and CC BEANIES. There’s long sleeve tops, sweaters, flannels and a Fall dress. You can see for yourself below. We have so many cozy hats and scarves, some big enough to wrap yourself up in like a blanket. My descriptions would not do them justice. If you see something you fancy, give us a call to hold it. Things go pretty fast here at Meadow Boutique once the word gets out!
One of the trends I really love is taking that Summer dress and adding a sweater, some tights and some cute booties. Add a jacket, scarf and a hat and guess what? You are on trend. Colors can be jewel tones as well as Fall hues. Anything goes this year after a year of stifling Fall in our homes with cozies. I am ready to get creative, how about you? If you aren’t sure how to make this happen, come in and we will help you. Bring in your summer dresses and we can show you how to layer them up. It’s oh, so much fun to be able to take the pieces we love and turn them into Fall.
OK, are you ready for the cool weather? Have you looked through your wardrobe and picked out some pieces that you can wear from Summer by layering? We can’t wait to see what you come up with. I am doing the same thing too, because there are dresses I really love and I can envision them with a sweater and tights with a jacket and hat. Way to stretch our wardrobes, right?
Thank you for your patronage and making our little boutique feel loved! Meadow Boutique’s racks are full. Unfortunately, some of the big retailers are still waiting for their merchandise to show up. It’s sad really to see empty shelves around town. These are the times we live in now. Thankfully, Shelley was ahead of the game. She was able to order in the Summer before the supply and demand chain took a turn. Shelley you rock! Thanks for giving us all the opportunity to shop in a great atmosphere with amazing fashion. It’s what keeps you all coming back for more, because as you know we will always have more. Every week. Something new. See you soon, my friends! xoxoxox
