It’s cold outside baby! Layering your clothes can look classy, stylish and keep yourself warm. When layering, try to select clothes that are made of different fabrics and textures. This adds more interest to the overall look. Choose fabrics such as cotton, denim, jersey and velvet. You can also layer different colours and patterns. Or stick to the same colour but in different tones. Take a look at these cute layered outfit ideas.
The great things of layering clothes
Layering clothes is a great way to craft a new look for your wardrobe. A simple addition of a scarf, sweater or jacket along with another can go along way in changing the entire look of your outfit. Layering gives you the ability to mix and match all your clothes, new with old, etc. It’s a great excuse to pull out that old vest collecting dust in the back of your closet.
How to Layer Your Clothes
The first layer can consist of leggings, tights or even a pair of jeans. On top wear a camisole top or a fitted t-shirt or you could wear both if the weather is extra cold. If the weather is cold you can also add chunky cardigans like teddy coats to these looks. Accessorize with scarves and hats.
Another layer look would be to wear leggings or tights at the bottom with some long boots. Then add a long skirt on the bottom half. On the top wear a full sleeve top underneath with a short sleeve jacket or a short sleeve cardigan. Or you could wear a long sleeved blouse with a sleeveless jumper.
When layering think about the color scheme you want to keep. And while you think not all colors blend well, you’ll be surprised to see what you can come up with. Pick a base color, white, black and even brown are always safe options. Then add more shades from there, bright colors are amazing when layered – just be sure not to add too much. Patterns are excellent for layering, be sure to keep solids close by thou. You don’t want to end up looking like a kaleidoscope.
Hope you’ve been inspired by these layering clothes ideas.
