Winter style doesn’t always mean sparkles and large statement coats—for many people, it looks more like layering wardrobe pieces in new and fun ways. Cammie Scott is forced to get creative with her winter outfits because days swing from bone-chilling desert cold to sudden hot beach weather during the winter months in Los Angeles, where she’s been quarantining with her girlfriend, Taryn, for nearly the entire time they’ve been dating(!) and accidentally adopting dogs they were only meant to be fostering. Scott’s styling method? “Layering has been key for me recently,” she tells me while chatting about how we transition our fall wardrobes into winter. “Rather than putting jumpsuits and dresses into storage for the season, I layer turtlenecks underneath and a jacket, or sometimes two, on top. It not only warms up the outfit, but it also adds interesting textures and prints that can really elevate a look.”
Scott is on camera a lot—whether she’s posting about getting out to vote or uploading videos from her new Uneducated podcast to open up discussions on difficult and important social topics—and even though it’s her job to look good, she has such a unique way of spinning on-trend pieces into personal looks. I tend to stick to basics to create an effortless, simple winter vibe, but I’m inspired by how Scott stretches her wardrobe into the new season, so I asked her to show me how it’s done. We both agree the best pieces for layering are from AG, so Scott put together three outfits from the retailer that look dressed up but in reality are so simple and easy to recreate.
