It’s going to get cold soon, and we’re eager to put on our big jackets and warm sweaters. The weather in the next few days will make it hard to dress comfortably. Some questions that could come up include: How many layers are too many? Could I get away with not wearing a jacket with this outfit? Your weather app might tell you about the wind currents, but it can’t advise you how to dress. That’s what I’m here for as a fashion editor. If you’re also wondering what to dress when it’s 50 degrees outside, I’ve come up with some ideas.
My Instagram Saved folder is full with fashion ideas, so when it was time to get ready for the colder months, I knew I had to look at what my favourite fashion people were wearing to get ideas on how to dress for the perplexing weather ahead. Here are 15 clothes that will keep you warm on a chilly autumn or winter day but isn’t too cold. There are a lot of classic coats, stylish puffers, and cool sweaters in the mix of clothes. Plus, buy cool things that make layering easy.
