How To Rock The Layered Looks

When the cold season arrives the temperature drops and the clothes need to be thicker and more cozy. Layered looks are perfect for this time of the year because they keep the body warm and look correctly combined stylish anyway. Furthermore, it is not necessary to buy new clothes because layered looks are the best option to recycle used and older clothing by turning them together with some other clothes into a whole new style.

What is layering?

Layering is all about combining several layers of clothing in a consistent way. It is important that the outfit looks harmonious lately and not as if the person has no idea about what to wear. Such layered looks are impeccable for seasons like spring and autumn when the weather is changeable. But in summer or winter layered outfits are also an eye-catcher.

Mixing Materials and Color

When it comes to layering there are some rules which need to be observed. Mixing materials for example denim and silk with leather or corduroy is definitely requested. That gives the layered looks some hint of excitement. Colorblocking which means wearing two or more colors that do obviously not match, is one of the past year’s trends. But wearing too much colors while layering clothes creates a look that appears restlessly. At this point different shades of the same color are the better alternative and in contrast constitute an image which is more harmonious and thought out.

It depends on the length

While creating fabulous layered looks the focus lies on combining various lengths and shapes. Diversity is what makes up such outfits. The play with contrasting lengths as well as cuts that are asymmetrical is essential and explicitly shows the several layers. A long blouse under a half as long sweater jazzed up with a big belt to create a feminine silhouette is an excellent example for a layered look that turns out well. People always need to be aware of the proportions to avoid looking like the proverbial “potato bag”. Therefore, watch out for jumpers or sweaters that are too oversized and amorphous while wearing thereto skinny jeans or leggings. Especially short people have to pay attention to this because they rapidly look with such outfits much shorter than they really are.

It is not the size that counts

Long pieces, preferably in a neutral color and made out of flowing materials like silk, are great for layering. A medium length dress with a pullover and a belt on top is one all-time favorite garment to constitute a harmonious layered look for curvy girls as well.  Such dresses with flowing fabrics are perfect for the layering look and can be found in fashion online shops.

Other key-pieces a woman definitely needs in her closet to create a perfectly layered look are:

  • long shirts and blouses
  • asymmetrically cut shirts or pullovers
  • oversized sweaters and turtle neck sweaters
  • skinny jeans, flared jeans, culottes
  • long, oversized cardigans
  • belts to accentuate your waist
  • delicate necklaces of various lengths
  • ponchos and capes
  • trench coats and leather jackets

Buying men’s fashion

Oversized shirts or pullover are essential for layered looks. That is why men’s clothes are perfect for such outfits. Shirts or sweaters from the male wing are most of the time cut quite straight and are a bit longer so that they can be worn by women as wide dress under a jacket or a pullover. Together with a belt and Over-knee boots the feminine layered outfit is created.

Accessories layering

Not only clothes can be layered, also accessories like delicate necklaces in different lengths can be worn together. The spaces between the individual necklaces should be obvious and at best approximately in equal length. The number of necklaces should be limited to four, otherwise people tend to look like a fully decorated Christmas tree. This kind of layering also applies for several bracelets or rings.

Be yourself and feel good

Every fashion trend can be worn in different ways to suit every woman with any body shape. Fashion helps women to find their own way highlighting the best parts while concealing fewer loved ones to feel self-confident and desirable. That leads, in turn, to the one foremost rule in fashion –  Be yourself, wear clothes that fit your sense of well-being and you will shine!
