Dressing in layers

December 18th, 2006

Dressing in layers adds interest and dimension to your outfit. Layering doesn’t need to be complicated or sloppy. It can be as simple as:

Throwing an above-the-knee-dress over a pair of jeans and adding a cropped cardigan
Adding a waist belt to a blouse, shirt or dress
Popping a cropped jacket over a tailored shirt or tunic

Layer with style and practicality by finishing off any of the above combinations with a contrasting camisole underneath and a coat on top. Easy as pie!

Creative layering from Max Studio and Urban Outfitters.

I used to shy away from layers thinking that it added extra bulk to my few extra pounds. No longer! I love the layered look – very chic.

[...] And this other outfit I really am going to wear. Tomorrow. Inspired by the short sleeve jacket pictured at youlookfab, recent talk about mixing soft red and asparagus green, and Valentine’s Day, today I took my scissors to this thrift score corduroy jacket. [...]
