Keep the layers coming by adding an oversized blazer and knit socks to keep you extra warm on those chilly mornings, and finish off the look with a trendy patent leather bucket hat for a casual-cool look.

Some patterns may be tricker to incorporate into your outfit than others but, don't underestimate your pattern-mixing abilities. Work these Wolford floral-lace tights into your look in a way that feels grown-up.
