Winter gets a bad rap sometimes. Sure, it can be chilly and yeah, snow is the worst, but it also brings layering season and fresh fits. Winter’s almost over (thankfully), but we wanted to look back on some of your favorite winter outfits so far!

These pics were submitted by YOU as part of the #AExME campaign where we feature real people who take what we make and make it their own. Want to show off your winter outfits or be included in the next wrap up?

Mad for Plaid

You realllllly couldn’t get enough of plaid this winter, and for good reason! Wearing plaid during fall and winter adds a pop of color to your outfit during a time of year that’s typically a little drab and neutral.

@highlight_her wore a plaid jumpsuit and super-soft sweater to add a bold style to her #OOTD, @casscardythrifts served up a warm look with a plaid jacket and light wash jeans, and @goodtomicha

Puffer Coat SZN

This is the time of year when layering is SUPER important. Leave the house without enough layers and you’ll be shivering your way to class, work, or wherever you’re headed. This is where puffer coats and jackets come to the rescue.

@janibellrosanna wore her puffer coat in a bold hue with flare jeans to create a standout style, and @_christinasilva paired a leopard-print jacket with black jeans and a headband to keep the cozy levels sky high when temps were low.

Sweater Weather = Better Weather

It’s no secret that sweaters (and cardigans!) were made for winter. From comfy oversized sweaters to cozy fitted sweaters, you rocked every kind of style this season!

@_sarahwoolston paired her relaxed sweater with ripped jeans for a laid-back look, and @kassidi_noelle created her sweater weather look with a ribbed crewneck under a jacket. And who says crop tops are only for spring and summer? @janibellrosanna pulled this look together with high-waisted jeans and a cropped sweater.

Layering season doesn’t have to be complicated, but if you’re not sure what to wear with jean jackets, we’ve got you covered with this season’s must-have styles and layering inspo! Just start with your favorite jacket, add essential jeans, tops, and dresses, and you’re set with an effortless look that’s just right for transitional layering and the cooler days of spring.

For Girls: With Dresses & Sweaters

Denim Double Dip

Create this dreamy outfit by doubling up on two tried-and-true denim styles, a classic jean jacket and high-waisted jeggings. Choose Dream Jean jeggings for our most legging-like fabric and limitless four-way stretch you’ll love, then match it with a jean jacket in the same wash. Just add a super-soft oversized sweater and you’ve got a forever cozy feel.

Dress It Up

Whoever said you have to wait until summer to wear dresses doesn’t know much about layering. Create this cozy outfit by wearing a comfy sweater dress under a jean jacket made with classic details like front pockets and a true-blue medium wash. Just add comfy socks and Chelsea boots and you’ve got a new favorite outfit.

For Guys: With Hoodies & Flannels

Ripped & Repaired Vibes

Mix up the denim on denim vibe by wearing a dark wash denim jacket with light wash jeans. Ripped and repaired jeans make sure you have enough coverage on cooler days, and a slim straight fit looks good with boots, too. Layer with a soft fleece hoodie and you’ve got a repeat-worthy outfit all season long.

Flannel Faves

Layer a lightweight flannel under a jean jacket for a timelessly cool vibe that keeps you comfortable when temps are warming but you’re still in-between seasons. Wear them with AirFlex jeans that have an authentic denim look with lightweight flexibility, and pair them with sneakers and a beanie for an athletic-inspired look.
