Layers in varying neutrals with jeans is a big trend for fall- the type of layer can be altered to fit whatever location you’re in [warmer places can do long sleeves with looser shirts, I personally like to pair different sweaters together].

You can wear all kinds of jeans with this look! I’m wearing the jeans I basically live in [my David Kahn Pencil Jeans] I like the dark wash for a sleek look even when comfy. For a more relaxed look, pair it with a boot cut or flare jean. For a dressier look, skinnies with boots [or flats.. or heels.. seriously, this can be worn 100 different ways]

The key to this look is the lower layer fitting tighter than the top, with mostly the sleeve exposed [the collar can also show, but its best for the top layer to be the longest]. I’ve seen this look sold in a set for hundreds of dollars by higher end brands- but all you need to recreate the style are two separates that you probably already own! 

The great thing about this trend is it can be ‘done’ so many different ways- pair it with loose waves, a floppy hat && relaxed jeans for a more bohemian look, or high heels && a high bun for a relaxed chic vibe.

Personally, I like the top layer to be a lighter color than the bottom one as well- but that’s just me! You can do this look any way you want to- pair it with a scarf to complete the multi-layered look. It’s stylish, effortless- and incredibly comfortable!

My video was actually featured on David Kahn’s website! I went to check out the site one day and FREAKED OUT when I saw my face pop up on the front slideshow- HOW EXCITING!!! If you haven’t seen the site yet, click the picture below!
