13 Layering Tricks You Need for Next-Level Winter Style

Layering different shades of the same color looks totally daring, but not over-the-top. Plus, if you go the hoodie route, like Kendall, you're basically wearing PJs. Win win!

An all-black outfit can seem like an endless sea of fabric if you're wearing tons of layers. A bold add-on like Selena's plaid sweater breaks up the look and puts your style front and center.

This one-second style trick is the easiest way to make your outfit look way fancier than it actually is. Drape your cutest jacket over your shoulders, like Jourdan Dunn, for instant cool points that still keep you warm.

Flimsy crop tops don't go well with cool weather, so if you're looking for a sassy alternative to classic winter gear, try a cropped sweater instead. Warm it up with an on-trend bomber jacket — they're sleek enough to wear indoors, but warm enough for the elements.

Even if your outermost layer packs major volume, like Shay Mitchell's poufy mustard sweater, a longer cut will keep you from looking like a fluff ball. Pair it with a slightly shorter dress for an ensemble that's cozy and cute.

Rocking a floor-length duster is easy if you wear the right textures underneath. Silky blouses are lightweight and great for layering up – you can add a jacket on top and keep a sleek shape.

On the hanger, turtlenecks look grandma af, but give them a chance. The high neck gives you that ~artsy hipster~ look we all secretly want and they're great for layering under strappy dresses or collared jackets. Opt for a super snug fit – it's best for seamless layering.

Don't retire your favorite summery dress just because the weather is chilly. Throw it over a cute long-sleeve top for a totally unexpected look. Bonus points if your sleeves sport fashion-y details like Zendaya's.

When you're swathed in head-to-toe fabric, go for playful textures to keep your ensemble looking interesting. Hailey Bladwin paired a quilted jacket with a cotton hoodie, then added heaps of patent leather. Her mixed-up look is totally daring.

If Kylie had worn sweatpants with this monochromatic look, you might mistake her outfit for a snowsuit. (OK, no you wouldn't because she's Kylie, but you get what I mean.) Point being: If you're wearing tons of layers on top, go for a slimmer silhouette on bottom to even 'em out.

Your ~flawless~ shape can easily get lost in a heavy winter coat, so throw on a belt to emphasize your waist without freezing your butt off.

Taupes, grays, and blacks are the easiest colors to mix and match. Any combination of the three will ~flow~ perfectly, no matter how many layers you pile on.

Trudging through a snowstorm? Sure, wear your biggest knit scarf. Otherwise, a long choker scarf offers far more versatility and style. Wrap it once if you're feeling comfy; if you get chilly, just circle it around twice more for added warmth.
