Give each layer a purpose
The tan cardigan with jeans and the two tops on hangers represent different possibilities. The white top supplies a light base, while the grey jumper offers a warmer closed option. A small wardrobe does not become more versatile simply by wearing all three together. First ask when you need each level of warmth and how easily a layer can come off during the day. If the cardigan fits comfortably over the white top, that may already be a complete solution. The grey jumper can serve another day rather than merely adding another layer.
Use the waistband you already have
A shorter cardigan works well with a clearly visible high waistband. Wear it buttoned as a top if the neckline and fastening feel comfortable, or open over the white base. Check both while sitting so the buttons do not pull apart. The grey jumper can fall longer and create another proportion. You do not need to tuck every top the same way. What matters is that each combination works with the jeans and your usual shoes. Different ways of wearing existing clothes can offer more variety than several almost identical purchases.
Limit warmth when packing
For a mild weekend, the white top and one knit layer may be sufficient; cooler conditions may justify both knits. Decide from the places and walks you expect rather than trying to cover every imaginable situation. Add a shared jacket if it fits over both versions. Consider care as well: a top that is difficult to clean while travelling should not be your only base. A small fresh backup can be useful, but several warm pieces without distinct roles mainly add weight to the bag rather than useful outfit options.
