As summer departs and autumn approaches, the perfect time has come to begin planning for styling that creates warmth and makes outfits all the more interesting. Creative layers are all the rage this Fall, as designers introduce the next evolution of layering through jumper inspired dresses. The result is a chic, sophisticated version of the timeless one-piece garment once reserved for preparatory school girls.

To avoid looking too cloying, be wary of patterns, material, and, of course, fit. One of the most popular and functional ways designers showcased the jumper trend was through layering turtlenecks and long-sleeved tops under cropped tops and sleeveless dresses. A belt can add some definition and structure while a translucent, lace, or ruffled top can add some romanticism and mystique. This Fall, up your layering game with playful, sophisticated, and contemporary combinations featuring your new favorite jumper inspired ensemble.
