When it comes to adding both warmth and interest to an outfit, nothing does the trick like layering. Creating new combinations can make your closet feel more expansive, breathe new life into your favorite pieces and help shape your shopping list by highlighting any gaps in your wardrobe.

Of course, not all layered looks are created equal; it’s all about finding the right textures, proportions and color palettes. So Page Six anchor Astra and I headed to Bloomingdale’s for a session with stylist Nancy Quinn (@qstylepr), who dressed us using a few of her favorite fall layering formulas.

Keep scrolling for Quinn’s expert tips — and to shop the styles she selected for us.

Turtleneck + V-Neck Sweater + Puffer Jacket

Quinn says slipping a classic black turtleneck beneath a V-neck cashmere knit “looks really modern and really current.”

A puffer coat layers perfectly on top when the temperatures really start to drop; Quinn likes Canada Goose’s “elevated” and “effortless” offerings.

“When you drape an oversized leather coat over something that’s very elegant … you’re balancing femininity with masculinity,” Quinn says.

“It provides more interest and individuality.”

“It’s sort of a rock ‘n’ roll look with a more laid-back vibe,” Quinn says of this “unexpected” combination of a sportier piece of outerwear — like this fleece hoodie — with leather pants and platforms.

Quinn’s a big fan of “playing with textures” — say, by teaming a Fair Isle sweater with a corduroy mini and shearling coat.

Keeping everything in the same color palette “really pulls the whole look together,” she adds.
