How to dress in November: 6 outfit ideas to copy
Although the weather these past few weeks still tends toward mild temperatures, cold weather is just around the corner. With November, we put away in the closet the lightweight garments, which have accompanied us until yesterday in layering, and start using trench coats and raincoats only in overlays. The latter is definitely the central outerwear item in November, along with the sweater, in all its variations and combinations. Remember that in November you can still go for dresses and skirts without any qualms, just accessorize them with tights and boots. Here's how to dress in November according to Vogue Italia's style guide.

1 - The coat, the passepartout outerwear of the month.
Long or short. Straight or soft and over. Strict or wrapping. The coat in all its versions is the ideal outerwear item in November: it is perfect to protect us from the first cold weather but it is not as heavy as the down jacket, which we will reserve for the coming months. You can opt for a great classic like Max Mara's camel coat, a true fashion icon, or go for an unexpected detail as in the Prada signature look with fluo décor faux fur.

2 - The sweater: from turtleneck to cardigan, all the models and the new rules for wearing them in November
This season the sweater rediscovers its more feminine side. Whether it is a basic and essential sweater, a classic turtleneck, a sleeveless, a cardigan or an over model, it becomes super trendy when paired with a dramatic skirt. Like Bottega Veneta's deep purple leather one, decorated with feathers, or like Christian Siriano's long, topstitched one.

3 - The wool dress, comfortable and warm with style
The trend of the wool dress, comfortable and chic, born during the pandemic, continues. But now it becomes sexier, the hem is shortened and it is also worn with heels and cuissards focusing on vitamin colors. Now is the right time to show it off. The good news? If the temperatures drop you can play with overlays as Michael Kors Collection does. On the other hand, for those who want to experiment with the cooler side of this garment, flaunt it in a monochromatic version, as proposed by Isabel Marant.

4 - Tights, new (cool) allies against the cold.
If they used to be a purely functional ploy, today tights, as in the 1980s, return to be a fashion divertissement to be matched exactly like a top and a skirt, playing with colors and contrasts. Chanel also clears tights in knits by pairing them with a miniskirt and a cardigan and completing with a herringbone coat. At Blumarine, on the other hand, tights are a super sexy selfie.

5 - The perfect rain look
The rains continue, but this time an iconic trench coat won't be enough to save you. Temperatures drop in November, so raincoats and light coats should be worn over coats, once again celebrating the layering trend, albeit in a classic version.

6 - Boots for skirts and dresses
Sandals and mules are now a distant memory: it's time to get your boots out of the closet, perfect for accompanying mini dresses and micro skirts. Opt for contemporary below-the-knee models, like Louis Vuitton's, or sexy cuissards. And don't forget combat boots, to be worn strictly in contrast, with the girlish houndstooth mini, as Versace does, but also with very elegant dresses.
