n the fall layering is essential in the south due to the erratic nature of the temperature here. There are many days that the high and low in a single day can be a difference of nearly twenty degrees. Making multiple cardigans wraps and shrugs a must on your fall wardrobe checklist. There are so many new styles, materials, patterns and colors to choose from this year when choosing your favorite go to layering piece.

Many of you have learned this spring and summer that adding a belt or a necklace to what you are wearing can complete your outfit, allowing you to truly make a fashion statement. Layering cardigans, wraps and shrugs can do the same thing and also save you a bit of money by allowing you to bring part of your current summer wardrobe into the fall! They are also perfect for the freezing cold AC inside your school or office.
