Why are all fashionistas, stylists and fashion bloggers waiting for the winter season with special impatience and trepidation? The secret is simple and obvious! This is what we wear outerwear in and we can put on a lot more things than in the summer.
This allows you to expand the space for imagination and use multi-layering to the fullest. But multi-layering is one of the main ways to create catchy, spectacular, interesting, stylish sets that you want to look at again and again.
The arsenal of outerwear that can be worn in the autumn-winter season is truly huge. Coats, vests, trench coats and raincoats, jackets and bombers, parkas, down jackets, sheepskin coats, leather and denim jackets. Capes and fur coats from natural sable to bright faux furs… All this in combination with knitwear from fine to large knitting, with tops, shirts, sweatshirts, dresses, jeans and skirts. Stylish hats allow you to create an unreal number of interesting sets.
Of course, the stylish layering effect is achieved when the outerwear is unbuttoned. The thinner layers of clothing in the set peek out from under each other. For example, an unbuttoned blue coat, knitwear and a shirt visible from under it.
Often outerwear in such sets is thrown on top, for example, a coat or biker jacket thrown over the shoulders. In such cases, outerwear does not serve to keep you warm, but helps to create a spectacular, catchy look. Fashion bloggers often use this “trick” and layering in general. Because such sets look very cool both in photos and in real life.
One of the most current directions in which the fashion industry is moving. And will continue to move is multi-layering in outerwear. These are the options when layering is created precisely through the use of several types of outerwear in one set. Dor example, a down jacket worn under a coat.
Below, we’ll look at 16 ways you can create a stylish layering effect with outerwear.
DOWN JACKET UNDER COAT
Everything comes together here at once – a trendy combination of elegant and sporty, convenience and comfort, style and sharpness. It looks unusual, impressive, and at the same time very comfortable, creates additional warmth. You can make a combination of a coat and a down jacket in the same color scheme. It will look beautiful in the contrast of colors, as well as in the contrast of textures. This is a way to wear your favorite coat even in winter.
DOWN JACKET UNDER A FUR COAT
Interestingly, a down jacket in combination with a fur coat will look unusual. This can be a thin down jacket in a delicious color, taken in contrast to a traditionally colored fur coat. Or a plain down jacket worn under a coat of colored fur.
DOWN JACKET UNDER A JACKET
You can wear a down jacket not only under a coat or fur coat, but also under a jacket. This could be a bomber jacket, a parka, or a combination of a thin down jacket with a more voluminous one. The main thing in such sets is that the top layer of clothing is somewhat oversized, otherwise stiffness of movement cannot be avoided.
DOWN JACKET AND JACKET
If a thin down jacket is convenient to wear under other outerwear. Then with a voluminous down jacket you can create stylish outfits by throwing it over your shoulders.
For example, this could be a voluminous men’s down jacket thrown over the shoulders. Complementing the look with a sweater, jacket and jeans. You can also use this technique wrapped in a more elegant theme. Such as layering a puffer jacket over a smart pantsuit or sheath dress with a jacket. This will create a contrast between elegant and sporty.
FUR VEST FOR DOWN JACKET
Another way to stay stylishly warm in cold weather is to wear a fur vest over a down jacket. It’s both warm and looks very cool, despite the fact that creating such an image is extremely simple.
FUR VEST ON A LEATHER JACKET
A more familiar option, which can often be found on the street in autumn and early winter, is a leather jacket combined with a fur vest. This is also an easy way to keep warm in style and extend the wear time of a leather jacket.
However, when choosing a fur vest, you need to remember that the shorter you are. The shorter the fur should be, otherwise you risk visually turning into a fur ball with legs. Only tall and very slender girls can afford voluminous, lush fur products.
FUR VEST UNDER COAT
You can wear a fur vest not only on top of coats and jackets, but also under them. To do this, choose vests that have fur only on the front and a smooth back (most often just leather). Then such a vest will fit well under a coat and will not create an unsightly volume on the back. Naturally, the coat does not need to be buttoned. It looks very cool, unusual and there is no risk of catching a cold.
FUR VEST FOR JACKET
Another option for creating a stunning layered look with a fur vest is to layer it over a jacket. It is also advisable not to button the jacket. Of course, this option is only suitable for early autumn.
The option of combining a fur vest with a jacket can be worn until late autumn, and if you travel mainly by car, then until the beginning of winter.
FUR VEST AND DENIM JACKET LOOKS
A denim jacket can also make a worthy pair with a fur vest, and you can wear the vest in the usual way, on top of the jacket, or by wearing it under it. In the second case, a slim figure is a must.
COAT AND JACKET
Of course, it is impossible to imagine autumn without your favorite coat, and you really want to wear it for as long as possible… You can extend this period with the help of the same layering in outerwear.

It can be a jacket as part of a set with a trouser suit. It can be a jacket in combination with jeans, a top and a coat, with a dress and a coat, with a shirt, knitwear and a coat. The taller you are and the slimmer your figure, the more layers of clothing and details you can afford.
In addition to a jacket, you can safely combine a coat and a bomber jacket! The bomber fits perfectly under a coat and any other outerwear, because… he does not have a rigid shoulder girdle. Pair with an elegant coat to create an edgy, on-trend blend of sport and elegance.
The jacket can be either in the same color scheme as the coat or in contrast. It can be neutral in color, or it can be bright or with a print.

Or you can make a more neat version of layering, which adds less volume to the upper body – replace the denim jacket with a denim shirt, put on a top or T-shirt down and add jewelry.
