■ Tip #1: Drape Over Shoulders
For those slightly chilly early fall days, casually drape a cardigan over your shoulders — nailing that French effortless chic couldn't be easier (très facile).
■ Tip #2: Layer Over a Lightweight Jacket
Layer knitwear over a classic trench coat to create an effortlessly cool layered look. Pair with slim cigarette jeans.

The ultimate refinement is in the layers underneath. Layer a fitted white tee under a polo-neck sweater for a classic formula that's polished yet full of energy.
■ Tip #5: Layer a Turtleneck Under a Button-Down
Unconventional layering: wear a fitted turtleneck as your base layer, then top it with an oversized button-down shirt. This edgy mix instantly elevates visual interest.
