Layers On The Town



DO

  • DO consider pieces from your ENTIRE wardrobe! Incorporating a summer dress into your winter outfit makes layering a breeze!
  • DO mix different textures.  Half the fun of winter is being able to wear chunky knits, soft faux furs and rich prints.
  • DO wear different lengths.  A long tunic over leggings with a crop sweater creates the distinct visual appeal that layering is known for.
DON'T
  • DON'T go overboard.  Without considering the outerwear coat, you'd be pushing it if you wore over 3 layers on top.  That makes the outfit look bulky and less effortless.
  • An all-fitted or all-loose look DOESN'T work.  To keep the look polished, tights or skinny jeans are a great base.  Add a sweater and blazer over to complete it.  Loose-fitting jeans out make the outfit look overall messy.  
  • DON'T over load the color scheme.  It is easy to get carried away with a fun piece that has multiple colors.  However, sticking with a mostly neutral color scheme is much more effortless and do-able for day-to-day.
