With that in mind, we present you with a few genius tips for layering for work, for the weekend and for a night out. We assure you this is one math problem that totally adds up.

For The Weekend

For weekend jaunts, layer a turtleneck sweater under your winter coat and add a lightweight scarf for extra warmth.

For Work

For a fresh take on office attire, layer a pair of pants with a shift dress. For a chilly commute, wear a crisp oxford shirt (with the collar peeking out) underneath the dress.

For A Night Out

For an evening out, team your favorite black jumpsuit with a faux-fur vest layered over a leather jacket. Genius, no?
