4 ways to wear layers from street style

The fashion insiders of Fashion Week 2025 got the ball rolling.

Coco Chanel used to say, "Before you leave the house, take a look in the mirror and take something off." But this fall, fashion seems to be following the opposite philosophy, as the looks we spotted on the street outside the most famous shows of Fashion Week turned into veritable masterclasses in layering.

These outfits may look like they were put together at the last minute, but in reality, layering is not an easy task and, above all, balance and attention to proportions are essential.

On the catwalks of Chloé and Miu Miu for the Fall/Winter 2025/2026 season, layering was celebrated: whether it was a cardigan slipping elegantly off the shoulders, accessories worn in layers, or scarves, they confirmed that it's not just what you wear, but how you wear it that matters.

Equally popular styling techniques include lace dresses over jeans, double tops, a scarf around the waist, and asymmetrical twists that create movement and flow, making layering look natural and elegant.

Below, i have compiled four style lessons based on this fall's street style to provide you with the necessary inspiration for your upcoming seasonal outfits.
