Layering for Dummies

The best time to master layering is actually right now, before the frigid winter months make it less fun styling experiment and more essential survival tool. Here, fail-proof formulas for three artfully piled on looks.

Look 1

Look 3

For those parts of the country where a coat isn’t a necessity just yet, a chunky cardigan—layered over a flannel and cotton tee—provides sufficient warmth, without adding bulk.
