Five Cozy And Creative Layering Formulas That’ll Take You Through The Rest Of Winter

Weathering winter's deep freeze needn't take a toll on your style. Click through for five simple—but stellar!—layering combinations to get you through the season.


 
 Sabel Coat, $228, thereformation.com; Broken-In Jean Jacket In Gregson Wash, $150, jcrew.com; Cashmere Winter Stole, $295, cuyana.com
Combo #1: Denim Jacket + Wool Coat + Giant Scarf
A shout-out to Lucky's fashion features editor Jayna Maleri for this one! We've been obsessed with the look ever since her video how-to went live. In case you missed it, here's a quick breakdown: start with your favorite jean jacket buttoned all the way up, toss a mid-weight coat on top and finish with a snuggly scarf—the bigger, the better!
 
 Yolanda Boots, $199.98, shoemint.com; Model Blend Over-The-Knee Socks, $14, us.topshop.com; Doanie Skirt, $119, clubmonaco.com
Combo #2: Midi Skirt + Over-The-Knee Boots + Long Socks
With two extra layers of fabric covering the exposed part of your legs, this is a sneaky way to skip additional hosiery without freezing. Not that you can’t do tights—they'll actually be covered by the skirt's longer length, thus adding extra warmth without affecting the look.
 
 Oversized knitted shearling vest, $875, Ravn, net-a-porter.com; Faux Leather Double Braid Belt, $6.90, forever21.com; Wool-blend Turtleneck Sweater, $49.95, hm.com
Combo #3: Turtleneck Sweater + Long Fur Vest + Belt
A mix of snuggly knitwear and thick fur can be warm enough to let you skip the coat—or make a lightweight one better suited to the cold. Just be sure to highlight your figure under all that heavy fabric with a waist-cinching belt.
 
 Adrian Eco-Fleece Hoodie, $54, alternativeapparel.com; Rockwool Shearling Collar Down Vest, $260, Penfield, revolveclothing.com; Check Wool-Blend Coat, $74.99, mango.com
Combo #4: Hoodie + Puffer Vest + Roomy-Fit Coat
Whenever your outerwear has a more generous fit, it's an opportunity to add some extra insulation! A zip-up sweatshirt under a vest works best, as it adds minimal bulk and lots of cool texture around your neckline.
 
 Favorite Turtleneck, $95, Vince, shopbop.com; Oriental Floral Print Shift Dress, $135, us.topshop.com; lbt-lbt heaven sweatshirt, $148, madewell.com
Combo #5: Turtleneck Tee + Sleeveless Dress + Pullover
Most any sleeveless dress in your wardrobe can be winterized with the addition of a T-shirt-weight turtleneck. Make the outfit even toastier by throwing a pullover on top.
