October is all about layers. In Northern Michigan, mornings can feel crisp, afternoons bring unexpected sunshine, and evenings along the bay call for extra warmth. That’s why transitional pieces are key—and at Après, we’ve built a fall collection of easy, cozy, and endlessly wearable layers that fit your lifestyle perfectly.
Whether you’re lounging at home, out for a walk downtown, or packing for a weekend trip, these are the essentials you’ll love living in all season.
1. The Everyday Tee
No matter the season, a great tee is a wardrobe hero. For fall, we’re loving PerfectWhiteTee basics in neutral shades and washed tones that pair effortlessly with denim, joggers, or layered under jackets. Soft, flattering, and versatile, they’re the perfect first layer when the temps are unpredictable.
2. Lightweight Pullovers & Sweatshirts
Sometimes you just need that in-between piece—and that’s where cropped sweatshirts, slouchy pullovers, and zip-up hoodies come in. Chaser and Sundry deliver relaxed fits with just the right amount of style, so you’ll look pulled together whether you’re running errands or grabbing coffee with friends.
3. Cardigans That Go Everywhere
A cozy cardigan is the ultimate fall staple. Ours come in neutral knits and textured weaves that work over a tee, layered with a tank dress, or styled with joggers for an at-home vibe. Keep one in your car or tote bag—you’ll reach for it constantly.
4. Sets Made for the Season
Matching sets are still trending, and for good reason: they’re effortless, coordinated, and incredibly comfortable. Think jogger-and-sweatshirt combos or ribbed lounge sets in seasonal tones like heather gray, oatmeal, and soft sage. Add sneakers and a crossbody bag, and you’re instantly ready to step out the door.
5. Outer Layers for Extra Cozy
As temps dip further into October, outer layers like quilted vests, oversized shackets, and lightweight puffers become daily must-haves. They’re easy to toss on over your favorite Après basics and give you just the right amount of warmth for fall activities.
6. Accessorize Your Layers
Don’t forget the finishing touches: beanies, knit scarves, and chunky socks add both warmth and style. Plus, small accessories are an easy way to refresh your look without investing in an entirely new wardrobe.
Après: Your Fall Layering Destination
From easy tees and sweatshirts to cozy cardigans and lounge sets, Après has everything you need to build the perfect fall layers. Each piece is designed to transition seamlessly between home, errands, and evenings out—because we know you want comfort that never compromises on style.
