Your AW26 Guide to Layering

A reliable rotation of transeasonal outfits starts with layers. To channel AW26 trends, style a classic Oxford shirt by Charles Tyrwhitt underneath a denim jacket or tweed blazer for added contrast. Look for layering essentials in oversized silhouettes to avoid feeling bulky, while adding extra impact to everyday outfits.

For a new take on layering, try stacking multiple collars together. Busy prints and contrasting patterns amplify the look. Checked shirts work well underneath blazers, with a shell bomber on top for a dimensional combination - the more clashes, the better. Lightweight shackets and vests are ideal for milder days, and this year’s lineup focuses on military-inspired silhouettes and functional designs by brands like Belstaff.

A strong layering game is key to navigating transeasonal style. Fluctuating temperatures call for functional pieces that can be deconstructed and stripped off, while still looking put-together. Convertible jackets with detachable hoods and sleeves can transform a look while keeping you cool and dry. Experiment with contrasting textures - try denim paired with wool, or suede with cotton. Keep up the juxtaposition with accessories by layering a shirt and tie underneath a feminine structured coat by Reiss.

Oversized shirts and skirts billowing out underneath utilitarian jackets add extra drama. Playing with contrast, the right accessories can complete your transeasonal outfits.  A pair of leather gloves or a headscarf will instantly add polish to technical layers - find the latest styles for up to 60% off at York Designer Outlet. On frostier days, try layering a wool coat over a blazer and throw on a baseball cap to keep your layering outfits feeling fresh.
