This year, we’re wearing our fave silk, velvet, lace, and patterned dresses year round. Nope, not even the chilly temps can stop us. If anything, the cold is inspiring us to go for the ultra-coveted layered look of the season. We’re pairing turtlenecks, distressed tees, and mesh tops underneath all our go-to frocks. Still need some extra warmth? Adding tights and over-the-knee boots will add texture and much-needed heat to your 'fit. The layering possibilities are endless! Think Taylor Momsen’s style in the later seasons of Gossip Girl: cool, edgy, and a little bit punk rock.
Saving our trendy shifts for the warm summer months is a part of the past! Here Her Campus’s InfluenceHer Collective members are owning the layered look and giving us serious style envy:
1. We stan a mesh and velvet pairing
A mesh turtleneck is cool. A mesh turtleneck paired beneath a velvet dress is show-stopping. Adding a gold chain belt solidifies that this is one of the trendiest looks of 2019 so far.
2. Fringe earrings ✓ Over-the-Knee boots ✓ Leopard print ✓
Sometimes it’s good to be matchy-matchy! We love how this look ties in two different shades of brown with the leopard dress and shoulder bag. Doing so gives the outfit way more dimension.
3. A style star is born in this trendy fit
Need some inspo on how to punk up your ultra feminine slip? Pair it with a distressed tee and combat booties and you are set to go. Add fishnet socks for an extra touch of trend.
4. Shine bright like a diamond in a sequin slip
Let your fave glitzy dress stand out by pairing it against a solid white turtleneck. The silver tones create a sleek and futuristic vibe.
5. Be an aesthetic queen in silk and satin
Revamp your style by mixing and matching textures. This charming silk dress and crisp satin sneakers create a stunningly soft look.
6. Winterize your fave denim duds in a cool-toned top and black tights
This OOTD has every winter fashion lover covered. Deep shades of purple, blue and black match every cold weather vibe. Celebrate the remainder of the season in style!
7. Let your lace detail pop against a bright white turtleneck
You can never go wrong with a classic black and white pairing. Transform your casual turtleneck into a high fashion piece by pairing it under a strappy lace dress.
8. Wardrobe essential: patterned tights
Sometimes the best way to express yourself is by layering on the accessories. This fun look keeps the focus in by matching a white tee with white platform booties.
