Fall is all about layering, not only does it look great, but it also keeps your prepared for whatever weather could be thrown our way. In the early fall, thin layers in breathable fabrics will keep you warm, once the weather gets cooler you can pull out the knit sweaters. Bonus points for doing this without hoodies and tees!

Cardigans are a go-to way to layer up without overdoing it. They instantly add sophistication to a casual outfit, but are still light enough for the early fall weather. If you aren’t a suit guy during the week, your wardrobe needs a couple cardigans.

Let’s finish the post off with more layering pieces. Varsity jackets are back, and they’re great for keeping a weekend casual outfit looking polished and smart. Especially in gray, the neutral of the season.
