Well-curated, relaxed glam can look effortlessly chic while blending comfort and style. Louise Hilsz shares how to layer your wardrobe to keep you warm and ready for the chilly season ahead.
Track pants
Yes, they’re the ultimate in relaxed comfort, but with track pants, the cut is everything. Oversized works best regardless of your body shape. So make sure you buy a size up so the fit is relaxed.
Pangaia 365 Track Pants, $130. P.E. Nation The Original track pant, $149. Camilla & Marc Carrara Track Pant, $269. Skims Cotton Fleece Jogger, $135.
Knitwear
From neutrals to khaki and soft pastels, every girl needs a knit in their autumn wardrobe. Go for fine Merino for layering or a chunky knit with jeans and a trench to take you from workwear to the weekend.
Sills Vienna Merino Polo, $299. Elle & Riley Florence Fine Italian Cashmere crew sweater, $659. Storm Jolie Merino Sweater, $289. Kowtow Row top, $249.
Overcoat
It’s a statement piece in any wardrobe that can be dressed up and down depending on what you wish to reveal. This season a relaxed-looking coat is not just a practical purchase; it’s a forever investment.
Loulou Studio Borneo coat, $1249. Meotine Cassandra Trench Coat, $475. Ted Baker Rosell Long Wool Wrap Coat, $919. Hugo Boss Ceredala Houndstooth Jacquard Coat, $1225.
Puffer jacket
Warmth aside, as far as coats go, the puffer is more practical than fashion-forward. But this coat will be cosy and cute once styled with a luxe-y knit and leggings, or over a hoodie, with track pants and sneakers; it’s an autumn investment you can wear anytime.
Ruby Cloud Puffer, $429. JH Down Puffer Coat Recycled Down, $659. Cooper Diamond In The Puff jacket, $599. Aje. Cropped Signature Logo Hooded Puffer 711, $340.
Relaxed footwear
Comfort lovers will rejoice that sturdy boots and ultra-sporty sneakers are still on trend for 2023. And speaking function over fashion, rainboots are a brilliant all-weather option any time of the year.
New Balance 530 sneakers, $170. Kathryn Wilson Morton boot, $329. Kennel & schmenger Drama Camel mule, $620. Converse Run Star Motion CX sneaker, $200.
