Shirts For Cold Weather Layering

We reach for long-sleeve tees, waffle-knit shirts, and flannel button-ups. Start with a tee, add an open button-up, and finish with a sweater or jacket to build your outfit one layer at a time.

Wear a button-up beneath a crewneck or V-neck sweater, letting the collar and cuffs peek out. Tuck the shirt into your jeans for a clean finish, or leave the hem showing for a more relaxed look.

We like an open flannel over a graphic tee with straight-leg jeans. For another take, button the flannel and add a cardigan, then finish with your favorite sneakers or boots.

Start with one patterned shirt and keep the other layers solid. Try a plaid button-up over a neutral tee, or pull a color from the plaid into your sweater for an easy way to tie everything together.

Smooth jersey tees, waffle-knit shirts, and brushed flannels give you different textures to play with. Pair a jersey tee with a ribbed cardigan, or layer a waffle-knit shirt beneath a denim jacket for contrast.
