Description

We’ve hit that time of year again: the season of chunky knits, cozy coats, big scarves, and all the layers you can pile on. The temperature is finally starting to dip over here and while I love staying warm and bundled up as much as the next person, let’s be honest: cold-weather outfits can sometimes make us feel more like a marshmallow than a style maven. 

 

While you can’t always avoid bulk in the fall and winter, you can control your proportions. And that, my friend, is what makes the difference between looking swallowed up by your clothes and looking polished, intentional, and stylish even when you’re layered up. 

 

So today, I’m going to break down five outfit proportion rules that will fix everything for you. These guidelines will help you balance out your layers so you never look frumpy and feel confident that your fall and winter outfits look amazing, whether you’re heading into a meeting, snapping family photos, or bundling up for a chilly school drop-off.

 

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to layer smarter, flatter your figure, and show up with presence—no matter how many pieces you’ve got on.
