Layering Basics


*Choose fabrics that are breathable.
*Stick with colors in the same color group.
*Mix up textures like combining leather with silk, cashmere with denim, or ruffles with tweed.
*Add some flair to your layering by pairing layers of monochrome or neutral colors with a bright color and accessories. For instance, bright red adds pizzazz to an all brown ensemble.
*Layer up on accessories too. One or two scarves worn in a tiered fashion adds dimension to the look. Don't forget an oversized handbag to finish the look.
*Balance your look when you wear layers. For instance, a fuller skirt should be offset with a form fitting top, while snug pants should be accompanied with oversized or free flowing tops.
