Essential Fall Layering Pieces
This essential fall layering pieces post is sponsored by Mirum.
As much as I love my flip flops, when the leaves start to turn and the temps drop, I embrace the time for layers here in New England. We often joke that it’s November in the mornings and August by late afternoon, only to get back to November by bedtime.I don’t know about you, but when I’m getting dressed for the day, I want to be comfortable. With 20-40 degree variations throughout a day, you need to dress for all temps. I usually go with a tank top and some kind of button down or snap/zip top over the tank, because you can wear it open for a little less warmth but button up for more. Those pieces and a fleece jacket are pretty much my fall uniform, with some variation of leggings or jeans on the bottom.
Blair.com lets me mix and match my comfy layers to make my favorite seasonal looks work for all outdoor activities with family and friends, from crafting garden projects from the thrift store finds to watching the kids’ soccer games and everything in between!
Some of my favorite looks this season are plaid tunics- I love plaids, especially in bright, bold colors. With a tunic I can pair jeans, leggings or jeggings underneath to create a different look, and also do booties or simple slip on sneakers for variations too. Plus, if I’m warm in the sun I can do the tunic unbuttoned and it’ll look as cute as it does when buttoned! It also works when layered with a light fleece jacket, color coordinating or just a different color altogether.
Plus, with layers, you can mix and match different pieces and color combos and have a whole bunch outfit and wardrobe options without spending huge amounts of money. A Quilted Car Coat is always a good piece to own because it offers a bit of warmth without a lot of bulk, so it’s the perfect coat for layers! Now that we’ve been watching our kids play sports outdoors year round for so long, I’ve learned to keep a fleece jacket in the car for all of us, as well as some light gloves, along with a blanket because you really just never know what you’re going to need for layers at outside events!
Example A You’ll be ready to watch the kids’ sports games outside with these layers, especially with some gloves and a Fleece Jacket on hand if it’s an early morning game.
Black Essential Stretch Tank, Flannel Tunic, black leggings, black booties
Example B Great for shopping, apple picking, a bonfire party
Pink Essential Stretch Tank, Flannel Tunic tied off and unbuttoned, black leggings, black booties
Example C- Perfect for a pumpkin patch outing or lunch with the girls
Pink Essential Stretch Tank, Flannel Tunic, Jeans, Black Booties
There are tons of options when you get some solid basics like tanks and bottoms and mix it up with different prints and colors for button downs, tunics, zip up jackets and sweatshirts! It gives you a whole lot of variety to mix and match to your heart- and your wallet’s content, while keeping you both comfortable and warm! I wear Blair.com well, do you?

Great options for layering. Love the plaid look and colors 🙂 That’s funny what you say in New England, November in the morning and August in the afternoon. Love that! Fun colors and great look!
Monica Y says
Love the plaid shirts and vest, so important to wear layers so you are always comfortable for the weather, super cute
Jamie H says
Such cute outfits! I love that white cardigan! Here in Idaho, layering is almost a requirement, since the temperature varies drastically each day.
Ericka says
Layering has always been my favorite thing to do when Fall and winter comes around.
Lori Bosworth says
All of those outfits and colours look great on you. I especially like the turquoise and pink combo. New England is gorgeous in the fall!
Ruth I says
These are incredible outfits! They look really good on you. You obviously have a good eye for comfort and style.
Beth says
We have to layer here too. I need some new clothes, so I’ll have to see what I can find at Blair!
Mary Edwards says
I love all these choices. Love the cardigan. We rarely need layers in Florida…and when we do it’s for early morning or late night only 🙂 So it’s necessary to have easy to remove cardigans or flannels
Tammy says
Love the colors and the vests. Plaid is another of my favs too.
Melissa Dixon says
I am loving these colors. I have never been able to pick things out for myself, I am terrible at that. I love this though so maybe I will buy exactly that, you look great!
Melissa Chapman says
Loved the outfits and for sure we needed them this week when the temps dropped. I need to get a great sweater and flannel combo like you had.
Alene says
You’re so lucky! I grew up in Connecticut and lived for 5 years in Easton. But now I’m on the west coast of Florida. It was 70 and breezy last night, and I wore a long sleeved tee and a navy blue wool blazer. And boots! And was cold! That’s what 7 years in Florida does to you. 70 and breezy in CT or WDC where we also lived would require a short sleeved tee, maybe a light sweater, and shorts or capris. I’m not sure what happened to me! Lol!
Amber Myers says
I love all these different outfits! You reminded me I need to get some plaid stuff. I don’t think I have any. I mostly wear hoodies and sweaters when it’s cold out.
Amy H says
Like you we can hit multiple seasons in one day…. So layering is a must too! I really love those plaid tops you have! I love the way plaid looks, but I have not found one that fits me right yet.
