How To Layer Your Clothes

Here's How:

1. Choose pieces of clothing that are a variety of sizes and shapes: some tighter or more fitted, others looser or stretchier.
2. Also select clothes made of different fabrics and textures: cotton, denim, corduroy, velvet, etc.
3. Start at the bottom. Begin with a base such as tights, leggings, or skinny jeans. Then add boots. Try layering a skirt or a long shirt such as a tunic over the bottom layer. If you're feeling daring, try some retro accessories such as legwarmers over your tights or leggings.
4. Move on to the top half. Begin with a form-fitting camisole or t-shirt, then add a blazer, shrug, or cardigan if you're a girl. Guys and girls can layer tighter, long-sleeved t-shirts underneath looser, short-sleeved ones. Throw a vest over a long-sleeved dress or thermal top. Top off the look with a knotted scarf, a pin or button on your blazer lapel, or a funky hat.
5. As you layer your clothes, mix different textures, patterns, and colors. Layer a patterned long-sleeved t-shirt under a solid short-sleeved one. Contrast solid leggings with a top that has suede or denim details, or add a splash of unexpected glamor with an elegant bracelet, a colorful purse, or a sequined headband.
6. Remove and/or rearrange your layers if the temperature changes, or to experiment with your look.
