September dressing: Layer like a pro to stay stylish in transitional month

New Delhi: September is here, and with its arrival, we feel the awkwardness of this monsoon-to-autumn transitional month. While mornings and evenings can be cool and breezy, sunny afternoons can feel like summer in a few parts of India. This means a simple top and jeans or shorts and t-shirt combo is often cold for the mornings and evenings, while an attire with heavy fabrics is too warm during peak sun hours. This leads to confusion over what to wear when temperatures fluctuate within the same day.

But you do not have to worry at all to fix this fashion confusion! Layering is the key. To create stylish layered looks in September, focus on lightweight, breathable fabrics that won't create heaviness. Begin with a simple base and add a cardigan, oversized sweater, or blazer to add visual appeal. This approach lets you add and remove layers easily to adapt to the month’s transitional weather.

Here are the easy layering tips to slay your September look without making you look bulky.

1. Inner layering

A foundational layer should be comfortable and moisture-wicking. Think basic long-sleeve T-shirts, tank tops, and bodysuits made from cotton.

2. Mid layering

Mid layers add warmth and style. Versatile mid-layer pieces include button-down shirts, cardigans, vests, and lightweight knits.

3. Outer layering

For September’s transitional temperatures, you don’t need a heavy coat for the outer layer. Instead, opt for lightweight jackets like a denim jacket, a leather blazer, or a trench coat.

4. Balance silhouettes

To create balanced silhouettes, pair your layers with timeless bottoms like well-fitting jeans, trousers, or skirts.

5. Utilise summer dresses

Extend the life of your favourite summer dresses and skirts by layering them with autumn-ready pieces.

6. Blend fabrics

Blending different fabrics adds depth and polish. Try pairing a chunky knit sweater with sleek leather pants or a silk camisole with a denim jacket.

7. Opt for belt
