Easy, Stylish Outfits With Sweaters and Layers for Fall
Here are easy-to-wear, stylish outfits with sweaters and layers that you can wear this fall!
1. Striped Long Sleeve Tee + Vest (in a color from the top) + Jeans
This outfit is full of style but is SO easy to pull together! Rather than reaching for a plain long sleeve tee, go for a printed one, like stripes, to instantly add visual interest.
And, if you want to take it up another notch, choose a colorful striped tee and layer on a vest in one of the colors from the top. It looks really stylish but is an effortless way to look intentional, even on casual days!
This green striped tee is so cute and can be worn under a vest, a jacket, or a cardigan. It’s soft and comfortable, too! If you’re not partial to green, this tee also comes in other colorways, which you can see HERE. I’m wearing size S.
To create a cohesive look, add a puffer vest in the same color as a color from the top (using the style strategy called color pulling). This green puffer vest is not too thick, but not too thin — great medium weight for fall. The collar and pockets are lined with fleece to keep you cozy without totally overheating. It comes in 4 colors and is only $23.99 right now when you add code GFFRIEND for the extra 20% off! See all the colors HERE. I’m wearing size S.
These jeans are super duper soft, but they look streamlined and polished. And they’re only $28 right now! They come in 13 colorways, and in straight, short, plus, and long sizing. See them all HERE. I’m wearing size 29 to fit around curvier hips. The cut is good if you’re straighter through the hips and waist. If you have curvy hips, you might have a gap in the waistband, but a quick alteration and fix that.
2. Sweater Cardigan + Jeans
Here’s another easy outfit formula that looks more styled than it is. Button up a cardigan and wear it like a pullover. Then pair it with your favorite jeans! The buttons add just the right amount of detail to make the outfit feel more intentional than a basic sweater—but it’s just as effortless to wear. 🙌🏽
This cardigan is soft and stylish, and while it works with any denim silhouette, I especially love it with wide leg jeans. The closer fit on top balances out the volume on the bottom perfectly. It comes in 5 colors, HERE! I’m wearing size S.
The jeans are the same super soft pair that I’m wearing in the first outfit, but in washed black. I love how these jeans look relaxed but polished at the same time! See them in straight, short, plus, and long sizes, HERE. I’m wearing size 29 for a better fit around my curvy hips.
3. Sweater + Jeans + Puffer Jacket
This is hands-down one of my favorite fall layering formulas. It’s super simple—just a pullover and jeans topped with a puffer jacket, but it still looks intentional and stylish.
The key to making this simple formula look stylish? Start with stylish pieces — ones that do the work for you. When your outfit is this simple, every piece has to count.
Here, I’m wearing a maroon sweater with light pink stripes, and it checks all the boxes: texture, print, and a fun color combo that adds instant visual interest. I love this sweater so much I own it in two other colors! Bonus: it’s short enough that you don’t need to tuck it. 🙌🏽 (You can see me wearing the hot pink version HERE. 😍) It’s just $23.99 right now when you get the extra 20% off at checkout, too!
For the outer layer, I’m wearing Gap Factory’s Relaxed Quilted Nylon Jacket. The quilted texture adds style, and the length works perfectly with wide leg jeans. It is a STEAL right now with the 50% off + extra 20% off!! It comes in navy, olive, and birch white, HERE. I’m wearing size S.
4. Long Sleeve Tee + Trousers + Denim Jacket + Sneakers
I shared this outfit recently, but it’s too good not to share again. It’s a layered look that’s easy to pull together and feels stylish every time!
The standout here is the denim utility jacket. It has a modern, updated cut that instantly makes any outfit feel fresh. It does all the work for you! Plus, it’s soft and drapey — so easy to wear! You can find it HERE, and I’m wearing size S.
Underneath, I kept it simple with a basic white long sleeve tee to let the jacket take center stage. The one I’m wearing is just $12.49 right now, HERE. I’m in size S.
To finish the look, I opted for a pair of relaxed trousers. They add a chic, elevated vibe while still keeping the outfit casual and easy to wear—perfect for errands, lunch, or casual Fridays.
