Fall Layering Guide: Hoodies, Long Sleeves and Sweatshirts
Fall weather is unpredictable: chilly mornings, warm afternoons and cold nights. Smart layering keeps you comfortable all day, and it lets you wear the designs that matter to you from September through winter. Here is a simple guide.
Build from the base
Start with a classic tee or a long sleeve shirt. A long sleeve works on its own on mild days and adds warmth under a hoodie when temperatures drop. Pick a fit that is close but not tight, so everything layers easily.
The middle layer: sweatshirt or hoodie
A crewneck sweatshirt looks clean for class, the office or dinner. A hoodie is the go-to for weekends, rallies and cold commutes. Mix a chest design on your base layer with a bold back print on your sweatshirt for a look that stands out.
Get the proportions right
Relaxed over fitted is the easiest formula. A roomy hoodie over a slimmer long sleeve shirt looks deliberate. Wearing a crop hoodie? Pair it with high-rise pants or a longer tee underneath. For sizing help, check our size guide for tees, hoodies and sweatshirts.
Add the finishing touches
A beanie adds warmth and a pop of color, and a tote bag carries everything else. Black, gray and white mix with almost anything, and one statement piece keeps the outfit interesting.
Care tips
Turn printed pieces inside out, wash cold and hang dry, and your favorite designs will last season after season.
Our We Will Not Stop and No Justice No Peace designs are available on long sleeves, sweatshirts and hoodies, so you can layer one message from head to toe.
