    31 Things That Are Cute To Wear As Is *Or* Make Perfect Base Layers

    Just a few essentials to help you master layering this winter.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

    1. A fleece for an effortlessly, cozy-chic look. Wear it with matching sweats or throw a crew neck atop it and pair it with your fave jeans for an adorable, preppy #OOTD.

    2. A bustier corset if you need a 'fit to *wow* for your next night out. This would also look incredible with high-waisted trousers, a blazer, and a pair of pointy heels. Oooof!

    3. A satin long-sleeve so luxurious, your friends will think you spent serious $$$ on it. The twist? It cost you less than $25.

    4. A ribbed, button-up sweater that would look just as cute on its own, tucked in with jeans or trousers as it would under a sweater vest.

    5. A square-neck tank in case you're looking for a top that can go with just about any bottom in your wardrobe — jean shorts, palazzo pants, boyfriend jeans, midi skirts, trousers, you name it.

    7. A chiffon cami because it would look so cool atop a T-shirt, tucked into jeans, and with a pair of combat boots. 😎

    8. A denim dress that would look adorable with a black turtleneck underneath and a chunky chain necklace. Throw on some tights and combat boots for the complete look.

    13. A bralette bustier that'll definitely turn heads at your upcoming music festival. It's comfy, provides great support, and is made of breathable fabric.

    14. A pair of high-rise leggings to rock at the gym, sport during errands, or wear under a pair of jeans so that pesky wind can't reach your bare skin.

    15. A sleek turtleneck because it's a winter staple that can be worn in so many amazing ways — on its own, beneath a crew neck sweater, and under a cardigan or sweater vest or button down. I mean, that's versatility!

    16. A groovy long-sleeve perfect for layering underneath a sweater, cardigan, or denim jacket. You should probably grab both colors...

    17. A flowy tunic that will inspire you to take a break from loungewear. This shirt looks beautiful with a pair or jeans, shorts, or jeggings and is just as comfy as that ratty tee you sleep in.

    18. A poplin button-up just as chic on its own as it is under a crew-neck sweater. Preppy looks good on you.

    19. A knitted polo because it looks incredible under a blazer, cardigan, crew-neck sweater, and three-quarter zip. For under $20, why not grab all five colors?

    20. A cropped tank reviewers are calling "stretchy" and "comfy." This is bound to become your next go-to piece in your wardrobe whether it's worn on its own or over a long-sleeve.

    21. A button-down denim so you can don a French tuck à la Tan France. Pair it with jeans if you're feeling bold enough to rock a Canadian tuxedo or wear it under a sweater for snowy days.

    22. A ribbed, lace bra top for flirty nights out with your S.O. Tip: rock it under a blazer for a more sexy, polished look.

    23. A crewneck sweater because it's rated #1 in wardrobe staples and you can never have enough colors and fabrics.

    24. A sleeveless ribbed sweater you can wear on date nights, to Sunday brunch with friends, *and* to the office.

    25. A button-up so fun and funky, your friends will be asking you where you got it from. The best part about this? You can wear it just as easily in the summer as you can in the winter.

    26. A colorblock long-sleeve that you can wear out shopping with friends and on your couch while you binge Love is Blind.

    27. A waffle henley shirt to add to your necessary basics collection. It comes in 16 colors, so feel free to grab a few.

    28. A mock neck long-sleeve because your go-to denim could always use a cozy friend. Throw on a pair of Chelsea boots for the complete cold-weather aesthetic.
