Your Three Step Guide to Easy Layering
We like a 1-2-3 approach to building your fall layers - allowing you to build up, and de-layer for those transitional months.
Start with a Base Layer
The cozy foundation you'll build from. Breathable base layers like long-sleeve tees, lightweight tops, or organic cotton button-downs fit the bill perfectly. Hint: these are gonna be soft.
Add a Mid Layer for Warmth
If layers are like sandwiches, this is the good stuff. The mid layer brings texture, warmth, and style – think lightweight sweaters, cozy cardigans, or flannel shirt jackets. Yum.
Finish with an Outer Layer
Your outer line of defense against whatever the elements have in store. Wind-resistant jackets, stylish coats, and packable parkas shield against chill and add the finishing touch.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Build outfits in three parts – base layer for breathability, mid layer for warmth, and outer layer for protection. At Toad&Co, our eco-friendly layering essentials are designed to fit and function seamlessly across each layer.
-
Natural and sustainable fabrics like organic cotton, TENCEL™ Lyocell, hemp, and merino wool are ideal. They regulate temperature, wick moisture, and feel great against your skin. They will also last you season after season.
-
Start with slim-fitting base layers, then add lightweight but warm mid layers like cardigans or flannels. Play with proportions by pairing oversized sweaters or jackets with more fitted pieces underneath — the balance keeps your look intentional without too much heft. Our layers are designed to stack seamlessly while keeping the silhouette comfortable and flattering.
-
Versatile layering pieces like sweaters, tees, and jackets can be mixed into countless combinations, reducing the need to overbuy. Choosing timeless styles and well-made fabrics means you can wear them year after year – pieces built to last a lifetime, not just a season. At Toad&Co, we design for longevity and eco-impact, so you can wear more and replace less.
-
Choose packable jackets or shells with some wind/water resistance – like our Nomader Reversible Jacket – that can be layered over mid layers as needed. Surprisingly warm and ultra-comfortable, they weather morning fog and evening chill alike.
-
Keep it casual with jeans, a tee, and a flannel for everyday wear, or dress it up with more structured pants, a knit sweater, and a tailored jacket. We also love layering over a midi dress or midi skirt — add a cozy sweater on top and finish with a jacket or coat for a polished look that’s perfect for workdays, date nights, or weekend outings. Layering gives you the flexibility to move seamlessly through every part of your day.
