A Master Class in Transitional Layering
In partnership with our friends at Veronica Beard
We may pack up the halters and break out the sweaters, but hang up the florals and shelve our swishy skirts? Not quite yet. The trick to keeping those hero pieces going strong deep into the ember months is to think of your closet as a lockbox. All you need to do is try out a few clever combinations to unlock a whole world of chicness, without having to start from scratch. Welcome to the layers club.
PRETTY TOUGH
Break up the blooms with heavy metal and a pair of stomp-around combat boots. Go one step further with a classic-with-a-twist trench coat that’s cool and irreverent, in a singularly ’90s kind of way.

PERIOD PIECES
Clean lines plus a neutral palette ensure the Victorian vibe errs on the side of modern. You can leave all the romancing to those era-specific details (bow ties, pointy toes…).

RUGGED ROMANCE
How’s this for a study in balance: An all-season chambray shirt tames the tweed tailoring, while a structured skirt reins in the rodeo leanings.
