Ciao ciao mezza stagione: come vestirsi a novembre, tra maglioni, stivali e cappotti

If October was an unpredictable yet rather mild month, November leaves no room for the typical confusion of the transitional seasons: no more balmy days and afternoon sunshine. Now that temperatures are dropping and rain is becoming more frequent, the time has truly come to rethink our wardrobe.  And so, yes, the question comes up right on cue: how should I dress in November?

The good news is that this month allows us to make full use of our autumn wardrobe. It’s time for soft sweaters, coats, boots and those warm, enveloping garments we’ve been waiting for weeks to wear both indoors and outdoors.

The secret to getting your look right is always the same: dress in layers, so you can adapt to chilly mornings, heated offices and damp evenings. Don’t know where to start? In this guide, you’ll find 5 ready-to-wear looks to face November in style.

At the office: blazer, turtleneck and palazzo trousers

November looks all start with the same garment: an evergreen piece that never goes out of style. We’re talking about the turtleneck: warm, elegant and very easy to style. For daytime, work appointments and the office, wear it with high-waisted palazzo trousers and an oversized blazer, including a checked version. Complete the look with chunky loafers for an extremely contemporary yet wonderfully comfortable outfit.

Rainy days: puffer jacket, jeans and boots

In November, the weather shows no mercy and rain begins to punctuate our days, but that doesn’t mean we have to give up on style. On gloomy days, however, priorities change and your look needs to become practical. You can opt for a short hooded puffer jacket, preferably a waterproof one, worn over a pair of high-rise jeans and leather boots. Under the puffer jacket, wear a lightweight sweater that will take you from evening to morning.

Weekend, aperitivo and evening: 2 looks for your free time

During the weekend, comfort and style can go hand in hand with a cozy and super-chic look. Choose an oversized sweater, perhaps with details such as knots or bows, and pair it with leggings for staying at home, whether yours or a friend’s. If you go out during the day, complete the look with sneakers or flat boots. And if you’re heading out in the evening? If temperatures are low, go ahead and show off your eco-fur jacket.

For evening outings, instead, choose a knitted dress: it’s warm, feminine and instantly elevates your look. Choose a fitted ribbed style, perhaps with jewel details, and pair it with a pointed patent-leather ankle boot and a long coat. The result is an elegant, comfortable and glamorous look.

The original combination that instantly elevates your look when you don’t know what to wear

If you don’t know what to wear and have already shown off the looks above, then try this layered combination.

A knitted vest over a checked blouse immediately creates a vintage-inspired look, to complete with a tartan wrap midi skirt and a pair of tall Texan boots. When should you wear it? To the office, for lunch out or a walk: simply add or remove a layer depending on the temperature.
