Combining different garments by dressing in layers allows you to create new exciting looks and at the same time stay warm. If you are tired of always wearing the same old things, you can try combining your t-shirts, shirts, dresses and skirts together, thus avoiding having to shop to create a new look. The combinations are endless and you will be surprised by how many intriguing and original looks you can come up with a little creativity.
Steps
Step 1. Add or remove layers based on your convenience
Especially in the cold periods of the year, the layers will help you keep warm until you can take refuge indoors where you can eventually lose a layer (a long coat over a short one, or over a cardigan with buttons or a sweater. with a zip closure, with a vest underneath, or a long-sleeved shirt over a short-sleeved shirt, etc.). Dressing in layers is a great option for the cold seasons if only for this convenience, but it certainly requires a well thought-out system for managing the layers that you will take off from time to time.
Step 2. For an informal and effective look, use layers of thin, light, breathable and soft fabric in warm weather, putting a rather loose tank top or a strapless sports top over a sleeveless shirt and so on
Step 3. Do research on the internet, but not only
Check out fashion magazines and look at other people's styles for new ideas on how to create a layered look.
Step 4. Search your wardrobe thoroughly
Make a list of all possible combinations and always keep it handy.
Step 5. Combine tank tops, shirts and t-shirts together
- Use different types of neckline, such as a V-neck over a plunging neckline, or combine two shirts with two different types of plunging necklines together.
- Choose shirts with different collars.
- Choose shirts with sleeves of different lengths, such as a sleeveless shirt instead of a tank top.
- Choose shirts of different lengths, such as a shorter top over a longer top.
- Cover a tank top with a long-sleeved shirt. Knot the shirt flaps at the front.
- Cover a tank top with a very loose neck sweater and let one shoulder stick out from the neckline of the sweater.
Step 6. Use some outerwear to create additional layers
- Cover a vest with a jacket.
- Cover a cardigan with a coat.
- Cover a hoodie with a denim jacket.
Step 7. Create layers with the skirts
- Cover a long skirt with a short one.
- Add skinny jeans, leggings, or stockings.
Step 8. Add layers to a dress
- Add a blouse to a sleeveless dress.
- Cover a dress with a vest or with a long or short sleeve shrug.
- Cover a dress with a sarong, sarong, or open skirt.
Step 9. Experiment with colors
Choose similar shades, contrasting colors and different patterns. Matching colors will not accentuate the layered look.
- Try wearing a colorful tank top over a white shirt.
- Try wearing a black skirt over a white skirt.
- Try wearing navy blue socks over light blue socks and make a cuff.
- Wear a plain blouse over a patterned satin tank top or sleeveless top or halter top.
