Layering on the East Coast

Layering looks different on opposite ends of the country! Average temperatures in NYC are already 64°(high)/50°(low) by October, compared to the much warmer 79°(high)/60°(low) average in Los Angeles. To combat cooler temperatures on the East Coast, Pair light to mid-weight coats, oversized blazers and trenches with sweaters and turtlenecks.

Layering on the West Coast

Thin, light layers for cool mornings and evenings out over your tanks, tees and slip dresses are perfect for autumn in Los Angeles! Expect oversized blazers, lightweight trenches, denim jackets and Moto jackets to be popularized this season.

Khaite Leads the Way With Fashion Forward Layering Silhouettes

Khaite’s Fall jacket styling perfectly encapsulates the trends we’re seeing for Fall 2023. Moto jackets, lady jackets, denim, crops and trenches are styled in classic chic neutral colors, opting for embellishments in python print, fringe or rocker-chic silver studs. We’ve picked out our favorites of Khaite’s directional styling images to inspire your wardrobe.

Styling The Wide Leg Jean for Fall

You’ve seen wide leg jeans last throughout the sunny days of 2019, but how do you transform this airy silhouette from summer to fall? The answer is within how you style your pieces! Playing with heavyweight sweaters, ankle boots and layering are key to transforming this still trending pant to the chilly months ahead.

The Chunky Sweater

Pair your wide leg jeans with a chunky sweater. Break up the bulkiness by tucking a part of your top piece at the waist, and pair the outfit with ankle boots or sneakers!!

The Oversized Blazer

We LOVE how the oversized blazer adds flattering movement to the outward silhouette of wide leg jeans. Pair these pieces with a basic long sleeve, tee or blouse and add ankle boots, heels or heeled mules.

The Outer Layer

Whether it’s a trench, teddy bear sherpa or thick coatigan, use your outer piece to add weight and movement. Complete the outfit with a shoe that adds femininity through shine, chic silhouette or statement color. We love ankle boots or heels with this look!

Modernize the Skinny

The world of fashion may have pushed skinnies to the side in favor of looser cuts (see our post on the jeans we’re seeing everywhere), but this alternative skinny styling brings the once-loved cut back to relevance. Knee highs, an oversized blazer and simple shirt such as the classic white tee are a winning combination. Simple, effective and updated.

The Accessory Boot, The Neutral Palette

Pull together your browns, creams, whites and blacks (bonus if you mix in any leather)! Neutral coats and dusters create the perfect frame for an accessory boot.

Fall Plaids, High Waisted Trousers & the Plunge Neck Top

High waisted trousers are still going strong through the end of the year. Mix with fall-friendly plaid and you’re right for the season! Jenny Walton shows us how it’s done by pairing her trousers with a ribbed wool cut-out top. Don’t have a top like Jenny’s? Show just the right amount of skin with an untied pussybow blouse.

The Wrap Blazer, Pairing Monochrome

Wrap-style blazers bring a delicately luxe, effortless alternative to the monochrome power suit. We love the ease of this ensemble when paired with a silk cami! Don’t have a wrap blazer? Try cinching your blazer with a belt that hangs down for that coveted “wrap effect”, like so:

Pleats on Repeat

We can riff off of pleated skirts all day, but the combination to pay attention to this fall is right here: Pleats and knee high boots. On-trend pairings include an accessory chain belt and intentional textural layers like a ruffled white high-neck.

Chic Layers

Tuck a midweight sweater into trousers and throw on an oversized wool coat! Keep your pieces neutral and pair with sleek ankle boots.
