Men’s layering guide

A reliable rotation of transeasonal outfits starts with layers. To channel Automn-Winter 2026 trends, style a classic Oxford shirt by Boss 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 Diesel. Find them for up to 60%* off at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Málaga. To take your layers to the next level, add a printed neck scarf or drape a knitted sweater over your shoulders to work as its own accessory.

The women’s guide

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 [DESIGNER].

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 70% off at [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.
