Layering 101: What to Wear Under Your Casual Winter Coat

Without question, a good winter coat is an absolute necessity during the winter. Your winter coat will do the heavy lifting, of course, but that doesn’t mean you should skimp on what you wear underneath it. It might seem like layering will add unnecessary bulk to your outfit, but when done well, you’ll feel even more toasty and warm.

Here are our best layering tips and tricks that’ll get you through the frigid temperatures.

Puffer Jacket

The puffer jacket may be the warmest, lightest and most practical choices out there. You obviously don’t want to be cold, but getting overheated is also not fun, so opt for thin layers that you can take off easily. Go with a t-shirt, a knit cardigan and, if you need, a thermal under your tee. Finish it off with furry earmuffs, a cute and useful winter accessory.

Chesterfield Coat

Give this classic cut a cool update by layering a hoodie inside of it. If it’s truly frigid outside, slip on a lightweight down vest that’ll add coziness without the extra fabric. For a subtly luxe touch, wrap a scarf that’s made from the softest fabric: cashmere. Nail the streetwear vibe and simultaneously keep your head warm with a knitted beanie.

Faux Fur

Fur doesn’t always have to be your glamazon coat—it looks equally great with jeans and sneakers. Whether you choose a chic neutral color or a fun bright color, the fuzzy textile will instantly put you in the same fuzzy mood. Make sure you cover your neck by wearing a turtleneck and invest in a longer pair of gloves that fully cover your wrists.

Winter will be a wonderland if you’re armed with casual coats and have our layering tricks up your sleeve. Welcome in the cold with a stylish snow season outfit.
