I’m a cold girl and layers are my best friend – how to look warm but chic
SUMMER seems to be finally behind us, and as Britain is hit by a deluge of rain this week, many of us are likely to mourn the loss of sunny days in beer gardens wearing cute dresses.
Fall fashion may seem boring, but there are plenty of ways you can look stylish without getting cold — you don’t have to wear the same grandpa sweater every day.

Fashionista and self-proclaimed ‘cold girlish’ Courtney (@courtney_wears) took to TikTok to reveal her top tips for staying cozy and looking cute.
“This one is for the girls who get really cold in the fall,” she said.
“Layering is your absolute best friend,” the fashion lover revealed, before sharing that she always starts her fall looks with a long-sleeved thermal top.
Courtney recommends buying your thermal tops from Uniqlo, where you can pick them up for £19.90.

Over the top of the long sleeve, Courtney wears a simple white T-shirt.
“I actually get quite a few questions about this T-shirt,” she said, revealing that the Clean Cut Regular T-shirt is from COS and costs £30.
“What I like about this is that the neckband is quite thick so it holds its shape well,” explains Courtney.
She added that she likes to tuck the T-shirt all the way into her jeans for extra warmth.
On top of the T-shirt, Courtney adds a sweater that she also tucks into her jeans.
“If you have sensitive skin and all sweaters are quite itchy, wear a long-sleeved T-shirt underneath because then you won’t feel the itch from the sweater, but you will still get the warmth,” she shared.
Courtney said this technique is perfect for keeping you cozy indoors when you don’t want to turn on the heat.
And when you go outside, she recommends wearing a wool coat and a big, chunky scarf.
“Honestly, you won’t feel the cold through all these layers,” she said.
Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, says these are the top 5 trends from the hottest catwalk designers for Fall 2024.
BOHO: The boho revival is a much-needed breath of fresh air in autumn and means you can wear your sheer tops, girly dresses and big jeans with cool boots.
But if the clothes aren’t for you, think big accessories like sloppy tote bags, big earrings and bigger bracelets.
TEXTURE: Whether it’s smooth leather, luscious faux fur or soft suede, textures are everywhere this season.
They add depth to your look, making you stand out and also look more expensive.
BURGUNDY: Maroon, oxblood, berry: whatever you want to call it in fashion, it’s red this fall.
The deep and rich color is everywhere and works best with shades of gray, black, dark blue and from head to toe
LADY LIKE: Matching top and cardigan sets and pencil skirts sound dated, but they go hand in hand with lady-like.
Pair with satin cami dresses and
LEOPARD PRINT: According to Tagwalk, 75% of the runway this season was leopard print – a vast majority.
It crept its way into last season, but it’s widespread in autumn and all over the high street, whether it’s shoes or floor-sweeping jackets, it’s a must-have trend.
Courtney’s tips have likely proven useful to many, as her video has been viewed more than 308,000 times on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users rushed to the comments section of the video to share their thoughts on her tips.
One person said: “I would also recommend wearing tights under jeans!”
A second person said: “I love a good layered look.”
A third person said: “As a Scandi woman I recommend a 100% merino wool base layer.
“It’s really best to keep you warm.”
