Dressing in layers
December 18th, 2006Dressing 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.
