L'OFFICIEL's guide on how to prepare your wardrobe for colder weather.

Autumn is in full swing, meaning that crop tops and denim shorts have officially made it to the back of your closet as chunky sweaters and <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/leather-jackets-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leather jackets</a> take their rightful place in the limelight. Dressing for autumn is all about balancing comfort and style&mdash;a skill that can be perfected with the art of layering.
Layering isn't just adding a thermal top underneath your sweater. It's combining structures, textures, and garment styles to curate combinations that keep you comfortable both indoors and outdoors. From sweater vests to colorful <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/crochet-cover-ups-beach-vacation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crochet</a> tops, find out what items you need in your wardrobe and how to layer them effectively. As the temperature continues to drop, the more creative dressers rise.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/kendall-jenner-and-alton-mason-new-faces-of-the-messika-campaign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kendall Jenner</a> is the queen of sweater vests when it comes to the fall wardrobe. A sweater vest on top of a white shirt or a T-shirt is just enough to keep you warm without needing a thick and heavy jacket. With a tight t-shirt go for the oversized sweater vest to emulate retro '<a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/brat-pack-photos-young-80s-films-hollywood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">80s</a> energy. With a button-down shirt go for the small cropped sweater vest to give shape to an otherwise baggy outfit. Choose a colorful one and have fun styling.

Accessorising is an integral part of fall layering. A <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/ways-to-wear-silk-scarf-top-headscarf-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">silk scarf</a> is versatile in its multitude of colours and styling options. Wear it around your head to channel the off-duty model look or around your neck for a more Parisian look. It will keep you warm and extremely stylish.

<a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/instead-of-mens-classic-coat-oversized-pukin-jacket" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oversized clothing</a> has been all the rage for the past few years and that includes the boyfriend button-down shirt. A sophisticated twist on <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/nyfw-street-style-fall-winter-2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">street style</a>, this item can be worn buttoned up or open with a t-shirt underneath. If the weather gets even colder, just place an oversized jacket on top. Pair this with baggy pants to complete an ultimate comfort outfit.&nbsp;

Maxi skirts come in numerous colours and styles. The importance of styling this item for cooler weather comes with an accurate pairing of colours and patterns. Bella Hadid wears her grey cargo maxi skirt with a black jacket and black trainers&mdash;a dark-toned look fit for a cloudy day. If you want something more colourful, look for patterned maxi skirts and an oversized sweater in a contrasting colour&mdash;a vibrant outfit that stands out in a crowd.&nbsp;

Take any outfit to the next level with a blazer. This business casual look can be easily layered to add warmth and depth. A mini skirt, a small top, and a button-down shirt are a dainty combination. On the other hand, a hoodie and jeans are much more relaxed and warm.

An item that makes its triumphant return every autumn is the leather jacket. Chic and cool, there are so many excellent ways to layer with leather. You can go simple with just a thick sweater or more complex with a tank top and button-down shirt. The button-down shirt works perfectly when the weather is unpredictable or you know you are going to be indoors most of the day. Just peel the layers back and get comfortable.&nbsp;

Crochet has been the <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/tiktok-makeup-challenge-with-it-girl-hailey-bieber" target="_blank" rel="noopener">It girl</a> item this summer and we predict this trend will be taken directly into autumn&mdash;longer sleeves and thicker knits will be seen all over your feed. A crochet top has to stand out, so bold and bright colours are preferred. Whether it's a tank top you layer underneath or a t-shirt, just make sure it's white or neutral so that it doesn't clash with the crochet.&nbsp;

Versatile and practical, the trench coat is a staple item for the Autumn/Winter season. A <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/scandinavian-brands-scandi-girl-style-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scandinavian street style</a> essential, it can be worn as the top layer of almost any outfit. Over a thick turtle-neck sweater and jeans? The perfect grungy look is created. Over a dress with tights and heels? It's put-together and sophisticated. Most importantly, it will keep you especially warm on a windy day.&nbsp;
