These 6 Fall Layering Hacks Allow Me to Get the Most Out of My Wardrobe

This fall, I'm trying to make more intentional buying decisions and am looking to my existing wardrobe for outfit inspiration. Turns out, I already have a lot of pieces that, when layered correctly, can make several fall outfits from thin air. While some may say living in L.A. isn't conducive to fall layering, that post-sunset temperature drop is real and would argue otherwise. Lucky for us, it's nothing another layer or two can't fix. 

Below are six outfit combinations I created with "boring" staples like a button-down shirt, a mesh top, and a slip dress—all of which you likely already have in your closet. These outfit templates have not disappointed me yet and can be remixed all season long to your liking. I was even able to repurpose some summer hero pieces into fall outfits, proving there's no reason summer ever needs to end. Keep scrolling to see the fall layering hacks I'm using to get the most from my closet this fall.

After this summer, I'm convinced we all have a crisp white button-down in our arsenal. Lean into the preppy vibe and style it underneath your crew-neck sweatshirts this fall. I'm wearing it with a black tennis skirt and a vintage sweatshirt to balance out the Catholic-schoolgirl vibes.
Crisp as an apple.
Not your average crew-neck. This one has exaggerated balloon sleeves, and you already know if it's by Ugg that it's super cozy inside.
These look so expensive. I love the bunching along the toe.
The wide cuff will look elegant peeking out of your crew-necks and sweaters.
Simple and timeless.
This cropped sweatshirt pairs perfectly with high-waisted pants.
A turtleneck feels like an aggressive choice in L.A. (It's 84° as I write this.) However, when paired with laid-back track pants and a cardigan, the chill vibes are restored. Tonal layering, as seen here with the gray-on-gray pieces, is another hack that can be a lifesaver when you're convinced you have nothing to wear.
The fall layering essential we all need.
It's all about the details. PS: They're bees!
I wear these at least twice a week.
The boat neckline adds some flavor to your everyday cardigan.
I just want to crawl into this.
If presented the choice, I would choose an oversize vest over a blazer any day due to the layering potential of vests. This oversize tweed number from H&M looks amazing with sweatshirts, hoodies, and long-sleeve shirts. Simply switch out the inside and bottom layers for endless options. 
Love the throwback athletic-inspired detail along the neckline.
Rich-auntie energy.
Part utilitarian, part chic.
This elegant vest can be dressed up, too.
A leather puffer vest? Say no more.
This sweatshirt hits exactly where it should—just above the hips.
The shoulder pads set this vest apart from its competition.
I've been wanting to wear shirts over miniskirts for a while now, but every time I try on the outfit, something seems off. Turns out, the missing piece was a sweater-vest. A white sweater-vest like the one I'm wearing provides a bit more dimension to the outfit and is a nice contrast to the all-black outfits I've been gravitating toward lately. This outfit is giving philosophy major with a focus on Stoicism, which we love.
The fabric looks so thick and comfy.
I've been wearing my black tennis skirt nonstop since I got it.
The layering possibilities are endless with this vest.
A little slit never hurt nobody.
Catholic-schoolgirl vibes.
I'm convinced this outfit will never go out of style, as I've been wearing different versions of overalls and hoodies for years now. This fall, I'm choosing utilitarian overalls and keeping everything nice and baggy.
Go for boy's sizes if you're petite.
If you're looking for utilitarian-inspired pieces this fall, you'll never go wrong with Carhartt.
Finally, an XL hood that can fit my XL hair.
I'm loving the contrasting white straps.
This fleece hoodie is coming home with me.
These bohemian overalls will look great with a crop top in the summer and with a sweater come winter.
Stocked up on second-skin tops and slip dresses over the past few months? Me too. By pairing these two pieces together, you'll be able to stretch those purchases into the winter months. Stick to solid colors to maximize your options.
This fishnet top is equal parts goth and rave.
The crisscross-tied back adds some drama.
This bronze will look beautiful with every skin tone.
It's so easy to spice up an outfit by starting with this mesh top as your first layer.
The lace cutout!

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
