Transitional Dressing: Layering for Every Season

The weeks between seasons can be the hardest to dress for — too warm for heavy coats, too cool for short sleeves. Layering, done well, solves this quietly.

Start Light

Begin with a breathable base layer, like a poplin or waffle-knit shirt, that can stand alone once the temperature rises later in the day.

Add Structure

An overshirt is one of the most useful transitional pieces in a wardrobe — substantial enough to replace a jacket, yet easy to remove and carry when not needed.

Finish With Texture

A knit layer underneath adds warmth for cooler mornings without bulk, so the whole look adapts as the day changes around you.
