Layering 101

 As the winter chill sets in, mastering the art of layering becomes essential. It’s not just about staying warm—layering is an opportunity to express your style while ensuring you’re prepared for any occasion. At Boston Proper, we believe layering should be chic and functional, allowing you to transition seamlessly from indoors to outdoors. Our winter Layering 101 Guide will help you look effortlessly polished and perfectly put together.

Chic + Functional: From Alpine Slopes to City Streets

Winter outerwear is more than just a necessity—it's a statement. Whether treading around town or enjoying a snowy retreat, your layered look should offer style and practicality. Our chic and functional outerwear collection is designed to meet these demands, with pieces that move easily from the alpine slopes to city streets.  

•The Puffer: If you’re spending time outdoors for an extended time, the sleek puffer jacket offers warmth and style. It pairs well with all of your ski weekend outfits. Our pieces of choice are thick, durable ponte leggings paired to a ribbed turtleneck as wind-blocking layers underneath, plus a fur-trimmed statement boot to complete the look. These styles are designed to keep you warm while enhancing your overall look. 

•The Poncho: Change the puffer out to our fur-trimmed poncho for an easy layer over your foundation pieces as you dash to the lodge for drinks and dinner. 

The Classic Tailored Coat: Warmth, Elegance, and Versatility

When it comes to winter layering, the Classic Tailored Coat is a wardrobe essential. It’s the perfect blend of warmth, elegance, and versatility, making it a go-to piece for day or night. Hardware details add extra polish and elevate this must-have coat silhouette with undeniable distinction. 

•Elegance and Sophistication: The beauty of a classic tailored coat lies in its timeless appeal. It’s a piece that never goes out of style, making it a worthy investment for your winter wardrobe. Pair it with a sweater dress and boots for a daytime-to-dinner look that shows style-savvy confidence. 

•Night Out Versatility: The tailored coat is incredibly versatile, taking you from day to night with ease. Its structured silhouette and clean lines make it appropriate for casual and formal settings, ensuring you always look perfectly polished. Layer it over coated jeans and a button-up shirt to carry through its classic style with a modern twist. 

Luxurious Layers for Party-Perfect Looks

Holiday parties call for more than just a great outfit—they require the perfect layers to complete your look, ensuring you arrive in style. Draping luxurious layers over your party outfit keeps you warm and adds a touch of glamour to your look while coming and going. 

•Statement Outerwear: Like the original, our Full-Length Classic Tailored Coat is versatile and elegant. It easily transitions from occasion to occasion with timeless style. We created an emerald ensemble that exudes femininity for holiday party-going with understated sophistication. 

•Paillette Duster: When head-turning shine takes precedence, our gold duster delivers brilliantly. Layer over elevated essentials and be instantly dressed for a holiday celebration. 

Curated Layering Pieces for Casual Polish

Not every winter day requires a formal coat, but that doesn’t mean you should compromise on style. Our Layering 101 edit is curated with pieces that offer casual polish, perfect for everyday wear. 

•The Must-Have Coat: We can’t say enough about the Classic Tailored Coat. Offered in this season’s sought-after colors, it blends comfort and style, ensuring you look put-together even on your most casual days.
