The art of layering is a necessary skill for street style stars. To some it comes with ease, for others it takes a bit of practice before they find the winning formula. Brands have logically taken things to the next level by offering an assortment of pre-layered shirts that don't require a degree in sartorial strategy.
Some big names have already created stellar options. One of our favorites is The Frankie Shop's Valetta Double Shirt, which is currently out of stock, but it's well worth signing up to be notified when it makes its grand return. Viktor&Rolf's tailored version comes in three shades. Prada superimposed a polo shirt over a long-sleeve tee, while Alberta Ferretti combined a crisp white button-down with an equally crisp white vest. Sport Jil Sander's turtleneck/shirtdress over jeans to achieve the same doubled-up effect.
Since it's definitely sweater weather, there are several knit takes worthy of working into your wardrobe. If money is absolutely no object, pick up Bottega Veneta's buttery wool number. Your budget have more humble beginnings? Then add Mango's combination shirt sweater or high-collar knit to your shopping cart. Interested in investing in vests? See Zara's zipper vest teamed with a long-sleeve tee or 3.1 Phillip Lim's lacy interpretation. You can even go the tube top route courtesy of Staud.
