Top Tips for Styling with Layers, Textures, and Patterns

Without a doubt, fall is the season I enjoy styling outfits the most. There is a certain coziness and perfection in the clothing that is simply appealing. In this post, I will be sharing my top three tips for styling.

Today, I gave a quick overview of my three tips for styling my autumn outfits on Instagram. While each season has its distinct features, there are also common elements that endure. Autumn, in particular, is characterized by the use of layers, with accessories taking on a more prominent role in outfit completion, but not in the traditional jewelry sense.

Here are my three tips: layers, textures, and patterns. Let me explain each one to you.

Layering is essential for fall fashion and can elevate your outfit. To start, consider ordering one size up to facilitate layering multiple pieces. Your middle layer could be a basic tee or a flannel shirt. If you prefer a cropped tee, sizing up to a medium can add some length. I usually incorporate a flannel shirt as my second layer, either worn or tied around my waist. If a third layer is necessary, like a base piece, ensure it fits true to size. Lace tops or thermals are great options that can transition seamlessly into winter. Stylish sleeves, especially on lace tops, can enhance your look. opt for neutral colors to maintain a cohesive outfit.

My favorite elements are textures, such as sherpa, leather, suede, lace, denim, and corduroy. I love incorporating them into my outfits, regardless of their current trendiness. Mixing different textures results in a cozy and stylish appearance that is desirable and can be easily achieved.

Regarding patterns, my attention is on the latest seasonal trend. This year, the favored patterns are leopard and camouflage. You have the flexibility to integrate these patterns into any aspect of your attire, whether it be shoes or pants. The choice is entirely yours, depending on your individual style. Additionally, you can pair your plaid flannels with these patterns. To stay fashionable, I recommend keeping them distinct or avoiding bold combinations in an outfit. The goal is not to appear overly trendy but rather stylish.

Regarding accessories, I like to keep my necklaces minimal since scarves are in fashion right now. They are a must-have for the fall season! I usually wear outfits with higher necklines and warm jackets. Instead, I choose to wear a hat and pay attention to selecting the perfect handbag as my accessory.

Outfits should be enjoyable, and you can include essential pieces in them, like a simple t-shirt or leather boots. I look forward to the day when I can wear my boots once more. Due to my injury, I am currently wearing supportive sneakers until I fully recover. Therefore, cute socks are essential as they are visible with sneakers instead of boots, I guess I can say socks are a part of my accessories.
