To truly express you sense of style you must embrace layering. The smarter you layer the smarter you’ll look. Not only does it provide a multitude of ensemble combinations- it gives you numerous opportunities to experiment and show off your personal style. It will also always keeps you prepared for any weather occasion.
For the most part, you want the layers to be visible. This creates a more visually interesting look. Vary the length of each layer, so that each layer can be seen. The easiest, least risky way to add color to your wardrobe is through layering. You don’t have to gamble nearly as much on that purple sweater when it’s an ensemble player in your look instead of the star. We love it when a bit of color peeks out from under a jacket lapel – or sweater – or even from between your pant leg and shoe with an arresting pair of socks.
