HOW TO EFFORTLESSLY
WEAR LAYERS THIS AUTUMN

Autumn’s nearly here and we need to switch up our style.
At Joules, we’re layering up in preppy pieces with a heritage aesthetic.

WOMEN'S LAYERING EDIT MEN'S LAYERING EDIT

We’re investing in knits and tweed, exploring the countryside, and most importantly, we’re having fun. Wherever the season takes us, we need to be ready. It’s time to… get prepped!

Get ready to layer up with pieces that combine comfort, style, and a hint of British countryside charm. Whether you’re hitting the country, coast or even the city, Joules has your time-off style covered (literally). We’re here to bring preppy and timeless style into everyday life, blending heritage with modern comfort.

We're reinterpreting preppy to feel exciting and fresh, showing that ‘preppy’ can be cool, confident, layered, and effortless, and tapping into lifestyle beyond clothing. Think weekends away with friends, games, fireside gatherings, trips to the beach, and evenings in the pub.

THE

Principles to Master

Layering isn't just about warmth, it's about adding personality to your look. To truly get prepped for effortless style, follow these core principles:

START WITH A STRONG BASE:

A well-fitting t-shirt, a classic shirt, or a knit forms the foundation. This initial layer should be comfortable and relatively simple, allowing the following layers to shine.

PLAY WITH TEXTURES:

This is where the magic happens. Combine smooth cottons with chunky knits, crisp tweed with soft corduroy. Contrasting textures add visual interest and elevate your outfit.

VARY YOUR LENGTHS:

Don't be afraid to mix and match longer shirts under shorter jumpers, or a tailored jacket over a longer cardigan. This creates contrast and prevents a bulky appearance.

EMBRACE COLOUR:

While preppy style often leans into classic neutrals, don't shy away from subtle pops of colour. A vibrant scarf, a bold rugby shirt, or a hint of unexpected hues peeking out can make all the difference.

ACCESSORISE:

Scarves, hats, and gilets are not just for warmth, they are essential layering tools. They add a final touch of polish and can tie an entire look together.

Layering Looks

Here are five Joules-approved ways to effortlessly layer up this autumn:

THE WEEKEND WANDERER:

Start with one of our classic ladies’ rugby shirts. Layer one of our fleece gilets for women over the top for warmth. Finish with a pair of our women's chinos and a pair of our iconic wellies, perfect for countryside walks or a casual pub lunch.

THE MODERN HERITAGE CHIC:

Begin with a crisp women’s white shirt. Add a sweater vest in an autumnal colour. Then, elevate the look with one of our tailored blazers. This combines classic preppy elements with a sophisticated edge, ideal for a weekend away.

EFFORTLESS CITY PREP:

A simple breton top makes a great base. Throw on a lightweight knitted vest in a complementary colour. Top it off with a stylish, showerproof raincoat. This look is perfect for navigating unpredictable weather while looking chic.

THE COSY EDIT:

For ultimate warmth and style, layer a white blouse under a ladies’ round neck jumper and grab a fleece jacket on your way out to seal in the warmth. Pair with comfortable trousers for an evening by the fire. You'll be feeling thoroughly prepped for relaxation.

THE LAYERED LUXE LOOK:

Start with a ladies half zip sweatshirt. Layer a beautifully crafted shirt under it, leaving the collar open for a relaxed feel. Complete the look with a heritage-inspired tweed jacket. This layering combination ensures you're prepped for any smart-casual occasion.
