5 Things to Consider When Layering your Clothes

Winter is definitely the season when we want to wear almost every single piece of clothing we have at the same time. However, it doesn’t mean that wanting to feel cozy and warm on a cold day is an excuse to look frumpy. That’s why all of us ought to know how to fabulously layer our clothes.

So girls, scroll down and find out what do we need to consider if we want to look fab in layers.

COLOR

First thing you have to consider is the color tone. Choose a tone, then keep it within that family of color. If you are going for neutrals, then go neutrals all the way. If you’re into jewel tones, then keep it all jewel tones. That is always the safest rule to follow. But if you want to be a little adventurous, add a pop of color by choosing one piece that will stand out.

TEXTURE

Your outerwear’s fabric texture is definitely important. The rule when it comes to this is easy. Wear something light with something heavy. Do not wear heavy fabrics together. The same applies on clothing with light materials.

PROPORTION

Someone once said that proportion is the framework with which we build our outfits. A general guideline that people sometimes use when it comes to layering is that the coat’s hem should not extend too far below the hem of the dress. Another easy tip for this is that you should pair long with short and short with long. A longer coat or blazer will look perfect when paired with a mini dress.

PRINT

Mixing prints is the part where you can experiment. You can mix large prints with small ones. Or if you prefer bolder looks, you can go for more daring patterns such as plaid, stripes, or polka dots. The secret to this is keeping one thing together, like the color or tone. Doing this will make your look more pulled together.

ACCESSORIES

When in doubt, add some accessories such as a pretty scarf. Putting on a fab scarf is just like adding some frosting to your cupcake. Aside from the fact that it is a very easy and effortless addition, a scarf or a chic piece of necklace will make your whole look strikingly fashion-forward.
