Embracing Autumn: The Guide to Layering with Style
Posted by undefined on May 23rd, 2025
There’s something undeniably magical about Autumn.
As the brown and golden leaves begin to decorate our world, the season invites a slower pace, a richer colour palette, and, most importantly, an opportunity to reimagine your wardrobe with fresh eyes.
Autumn is the perfect time to blend textures, tones, and silhouettes to create elegant and effortless ensembles. At Laud Pulse, we believe layering should never feel daunting. It’s an art that can be mastered with a few thoughtful tips
Below, we share our favourite ways to layer with sophistication and confidence, so you can dress with purpose and pleasure:
1. Start with a strong Foundation
Effortless layering begins with your base. Begin with lightweight, breathable fabrics - a silk camisole or a soft cotton shirt - to set the stage for the layers to follow. These pieces should feel great against your skin and serve as a canvas for a bolder statement above. A suggestion could be to slip into the Overjoyed Camisole as your base. Its refined cut and colour make it an ideal strong foundation that pairs well with our Overjoyed Jacket.

2. Elevate with Texture and Contrast
Layering is more than just adding warmth, it’s about creating visual interest. Autumn is the season to play with texture: pair a crisp shirt with a chunky knit, or drape a smooth, flowing dress beneath a structured jacket. Mixing materials creates intrigue and depth to your ensemble. Try pairing Laud Pulse’s Serene Camisole with a light blue cardigan as an idea for playing with textures, whilst not creating bulk.
3. Incorporate a Statement Layer
Your outermost layer is the most visible, your outerwear can speak the loudest and be the best way to make a statement without shouting. Pick a hero piece that captures attention and completes your look tastefully. Choose coats and jackets that not only provide warmth but also serve as a focal point of your outfit. They can be a great way of introducing bold prints, rich colours or unique silhouettes. Laud Pulse features a range of statement outerwear. Try the jewel-toned Self-Motivated Coat or the Blissful Kimono as your vibrant statement when layering.

4. Play with Proportions and Lengths
Layering is as much about silhouette as it is about warmth. One of the most intriguing ways to layer is by changing up proportions. Offset slim-fitting pieces with something looser. Experiment with cropped jackets over long tunics, or a maxi dress under a boxy sweater. This interplay of lengths flatters and adds visual intrigue to your outfit. For example, pair a cropped blazer with the For The High-Low dress from Laud Pulse. The cropped blazer will accentuate your waist and complement the dress’s silhouette for a flattering effect.
5. Embrace Colour and Pattern
Autumn is a canvas for bold experimentation. Mix prints - floral with plaid or geometric with animal - for an eclectic yet harmonious ensemble. Stick to a cohesive colour palette to maintain sophistication while letting your personality shine. Laud Pulse’s pieces often incorporate vibrant colours and prints, making it easy to build an intentional, eye-catching look. For instance, you could wear our Bold Dress paired with a structured jacket and have the dress be the focal point of your autumn look.
6. Accessorise with Purpose
Scarves, hats, and gloves are not just practical. They’re an opportunity to add colour, pattern and personality. Choose accessories that complement your layered look and add a final flourish of romance. For example, top off Laud Pulse’s Calm Jumpsuit with a lovely beige beret for a charming finishing touch.
