As the temperature drops and the leaves start to change, it's time to embrace the art of layering. Cold weather dressing is all about finding the perfect balance between staying warm and looking stylish. With the right pieces in your wardrobe, you can create endless outfit combinations that will keep you cozy and chic all season long.

The Foundation

The key to successful layering starts with a solid foundation. A well-fitted top, like a turtleneck or a long-sleeve tee, is the perfect base for any cold-weather outfit. Opt for a neutral color like black, white, or gray, which will make it easy to mix and match with other pieces in your wardrobe.
For a classic and timeless look, pair your base layer with a Melange Single Button Jacket. This impeccably polished, single-button tailored blazer will elevate any outfit, whether you're heading to the office or out for a weekend brunch.

The Outerwear

When it comes to staying warm, a good coat is essential. A wool coat is a timeless investment piece that will never go out of style. The Double Breasted Wool Coat from Anne Klein is the perfect example. Its side pockets and wool blend fabric provide optimum warmth and sophistication.

For a pop of color, try the Wool Coat With Buttons in a vibrant shade of red. The double-breasted front with large black buttons adds a touch of elegance to this eye-catching piece.

On colder days, a puffer jacket is a must-have. The Consider It Snap Front Puffer Jacket from Anne Klein comes in a range of colors, including a versatile olive green and a classic black. The quilted design and attached oversized hood make it both stylish and practical.

The Accessories

No cold-weather outfit is complete without the right accessories. A cozy scarf, a pair of gloves, and a warm hat can make all the difference when the temperature drops.
When it comes to scarves, opt for a chunky knit or a soft cashmere. A neutral color like gray or beige will pair well with any coat, while a bold hue like red or green can add a pop of color to a monochromatic outfit.
Gloves are another essential accessory for cold weather. Leather gloves are a classic choice that will never go out of style, while knit gloves are a cozy option for colder days. If you're always on your phone, consider a pair of touchscreen gloves that will allow you to stay connected without freezing your fingers.
A warm hat is the perfect finishing touch to any cold-weather outfit. A beanie or a beret in a neutral color like black or gray will go with everything in your wardrobe, while a pom-pom hat can add a playful touch to a more casual look.

Putting It All Together

Now that you have all the essential pieces, it's time to put them together into a cohesive outfit. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
For a classic look, pair a white turtleneck with black trousers and the Melange Single Button Jacket. Add a pair of black leather gloves and a gray scarf for extra warmth.
For a pop of color, try the Wool Coat With Buttons over a black turtleneck and dark wash jeans. Add a pair of black boots and a beanie in a coordinating shade of red.
* For a casual weekend look, pair the Consider It Snap Front Puffer Jacket in light cream with your favorite leggings and a cozy sweater. Add a pair of knit gloves and a pom-pom hat for a playful touch.
