As the weather gets colder, your wardrobe needs to get warmer. It may be fairly obvious, but there’s one thing we bet you didn’t know—you don’t need an entirely different winter wardrobe just because the weather’s turned a little blustery. So much can be accomplished with layering, which means you won’t need to bid your favorite fall pieces adieu as the snow starts to fall. Don’t get us wrong, we love a chunky sweater as much as the next gal…we just want to help you discover all the style and ideas we know will carry you through the fall and winter.

 We took two base outfits and added layers to them in three stages to create looks for mild, medium, and frigid days. We all know how erratic the weather can be in the fall, ranging from those Indian summer days to wind chills that leave us shivering, but don’t worry! Follow our guide, and you’ll be prepared for it all. Have a read below to learn how to winterize your wardrobe and, in turn, maximize the potential of the items in your closet. Be sure to check out the video to see the outfits in action.
