Spring Layering – From Snow to Sunshine
This time of year, you may feel like you have to change your wardrobe for multiple seasons through the month, or even the day! The spring months can bring storms that dump inches of snow to sunshine-filled days where you can sit outside with short sleeves and soak up the vitamin D. Use these layering strategies to keep you looking great while you adjust to the temperature changes!
The Shacket: This layer is a play on a shirt + jacket, and is essentially a button-down shirt made of thicker fabric that looks polished and keeps you cozy and warm. Layer the shacket over a tank, short-sleeved top, turtleneck or long-sleeved tee with jeans, pants, or leggings. From a shearling vibe to plaids and more, the shacket keeps you stylish and comfortable. We also have a coatigan, a cross between a coat and a cardigan, that offers a heavier layer of warmth with an open front and will be a staple in your wardrobe.

Cardigans: Cardigan sweaters have come a long way in elevating your look! Cardigans work as a layer over tees and tops in a variety of materials, as well as turtlenecks and button-down shirts. Choose a variety of cardigans in different colors and textures to elevate your layering game!
A button down cardigan offers a variety of flattering ways to style your look – you can wear it open, button it all the way up, or choose a few buttons in the middle to cinch your waistline and highlight curves.
The open-front cardigan offers some elegant styling and fashionable details. This style of cardigan adds a polished layer without too much fuss – just throw it on over almost any top and go! We love the open-front cardigans embellished with patterns and fringe that are perfect for work, running errands, and mountain weekends.

Try adding a belt over a cardigan layer for a polished look that accentuates your waist.
Denim and Trucker Jackets: Denim jackets never go out of style and go with nearly anything! They can be thrown over a dress, pants, or skirted outfit on those cool mornings to get you to the warmer afternoon temperatures. To infuse a twist on this layering classic, invest in a new cut or wash in a denim jacket, or consider the colored denim and trucker jackets that are making a big splash this season!

The Poncho: Nothing screams elegance like a beautiful poncho, and ponchos are enjoying a new spotlight with the current bohemian fashion craze. Consider it a sweater with easy styling, comfort, and sizing that is almost always one size fits all! Ponchos create a barrier from the chill with the perfect amount of coverage. They look great over jeans, trousers, and skirts and dresses paired with boots. Accessories like bracelets, statement necklaces, and clutch handbags add even more polish to a poncho.

The Vest: A staple in Colorado and anywhere with weather that changes quickly, the vest is great for your wardrobe because you can add it as a top layer, or build on it with a jacket or overcoat for even more warmth. Hooded vests add a touch of casual sophistication – make sure you have this basic in your layering arsenal!

Layering Accessories – Hats and Scarves: Once you have your layers on, complete your look and ensure your warmth game is on with accessories that look and feel good! Hats and scarves are the traveler’s friend because they are small and packable, but mighty when you find a chilly atmosphere.
Keep a basic beanie around to polish your look and keep you warm, or throw in a colorful or textured knit beanie to complete your outfit! With or without a pom, they are a functional and fashionable layer that you can throw in your bag and keep handy for chilly mornings and evenings around the fire pit.
