Bring Your Personal Style to the Layered Look Piece It Together

Chic and comfortable don’t always show up in the same place, but fortunately that’s not the case with the layered look. Showing off your personal style and staying warm, too? It’s all in the layering.

Start with a button-down or a tee. Oversized, slouchy styles are particularly of-the-moment. (Tunics or long tanks left over from last summer make great base pieces, too.) Next, pull on skinny pants or leggings. Bored with your basic pair? Try something with zippers or equestrian-inspired detailing.

Next up: knits. Add an elongated cardigan for a lean look, or if your bottom layer is long, try a cropped style to break up the silhouette. Keep knits delicate if you’re planning on adding another layer. Chunky knits, on the other hand, can go it alone, standing in for a jacket on merely chilly days.

Something tailored on top like a blazer (the season’s boyfriend style is a prime candidate), jacket, or vest sharpens the look, or try a little leather jacket for some downtown attitude. The final touch? Boots. A stacked heel is walking friendly, or if you’re feeling fashion-forward, go for a flat, over-the-knee pair. Add a hat and scarf for a cozy look that fellow fashionistas (and your mom) would approve of.

Boot Up Top Coat Hats On

Whether you’re strolling the streets of Sundance or some slightly less star-studded locale, cozy boots are essential to the chic snow bunny look. Australia Love Collective takes this cold weather staple to a luxe new level, while UGG and Sorel, two brands that wrote the book on warm, bring us a whole bunch of new styles to love this season. Find the pair you'll have in heavy rotation here.

This everyday piece not only speaks volumes about your personal style, but also has the power to pull your whole look together. Of course it should be exceptional. Coats that set you apart from the fashion pack? Find straight-off-the-runway styles in tactile tweed, refined cashmere, and offbeat bouclé from foremost designers Derek Lam, Lela Rose, and Thakoon in the Designer Boutique.

The prospect of plummeting temperatures? So much easier to confront with cute accessories in your corner. Proof that practical and stylish can coexist, a Eugenia Kim hat lends instant polish to any look, while an arty-chic topper from Mischa Lampert has all the DIY cool without the time-consuming DIY. Add the season’s de rigeur elbow-length gloves and a signature scarf to brave the elements in style.

How We Wear It: Winter Layers

Wondering what's on an insider's winter checklist? Shopbop Fashion Director Kate (our resident trend-spotter and authority on all things chic) shares her favorites.

1. FOLEY + CORINNA Short Military Coat I love the military look of this piece--it’s so unique to see a knit in this silhouette.

2. KAIN LABEL Long Sleeved Pocket Tee These tees are killer! Ultra-soft, a bit oversized, and perfectly sheer. I'm living in them right now.

3. ELIZABETH & JAMES Embroidered Poe Blazer Such a great investment. The fit is spectacular and the details are really special. This is my go-to jacket when I want to look effortlessly pulled-together but still edgy.

4. ALICE + OLIVIA 5 Pocket Skinny Pant What we've all been waiting for: a five-pocket legging! These are sensational on the body.

5. L'AUTRE CHOSE High Heel Motorcycle Boot Funky and refined rolled into one. These boots make such a statement.

6. PENCEY Arm Warmers The best way to rock your favorite sleeveless items AND stay warm!

7. BOP BASICS Cashmere Fitted Cap I live in this hat!

8. FALKE Striggings Collar Neck Warmer This is genius: adds an instant cowl to anything you're wearing.
