13 Ways to Layer For Fall With Clothes You Already Own

For ladies not entirely ready to let go of their Summer clothes (that includes us), we turn to the art of layering. It allows us to wear our favorite pieces like a crop top or romper straight through Fall. And like all style-savvy women, recycling pieces is no big deal, especially if you find unexpected ways to outfit them. We rounded up a handful of items you probably already own, and with some street style inspiration ahead, we show you how to layer them for chillier days. Your Fall #OOTD snaps will be Instagram gold.
