Layering in Transitional Seasons (Even When It's Hot!)

About this video

The Gazette team discusses how to dress stylishly during transitional seasons like spring and autumn when temperatures fluctuate unpredictably. They explore essential clothing items for variable weather—including lightweight outerwear, half-lined jackets, overshirts, and breathable knitwear—and demonstrate how to layer these pieces across formal, business casual, and casual outfits.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends lightweight outerwear such as trench coats, Harrington jackets, and leather jackets as ideal transitional pieces that provide protection without excessive bulk
• The Gazette team argues that half-lined or unlined jackets, cotton and linen knitwear, and Merino wool are superior for transitional dressing because they breathe better and regulate temperature more effectively than heavily lined winter pieces
• The Gazette team suggests using the spezzato technique—mixing heavier and lighter fabrics from different suits—as a practical and economical way to create temperature-adaptable outfits without purchasing new garments
