Fashion is rather unpredictable and very changeable. It really takes quite a lot of efforts to try being always fashionable and looking your best in any situation. And the thing is not in buying expensive clothes if you don’t know how to wear them! Even if you have several nice things in your wardrobe, know how to combine them and how to wear layers, you’ll have your own style – it also means a lot!
The art of wearing layers as well as the art of coordination needs some practice and skills. Here are some tips for beginners.
Rule 1: avoid too big and bulky garments. Otherwise you’ll look like a cabbage in all those pieces of clothes! Remember, that the main aim of layers is to create a neat and sophisticated look, but do not do it too bulky. Thus you’ll only spoil the whole impression.
Rule 2: if you start building your outfit, mind, that you should begin with lighter fabrics and proceed with heavier ones. This will form a complete ensemble and won’t distract anybody’s attention. If you do it vice versa, your whole image will be the same…
Rule 3: combine colors. See to it, that all layers you wear have corresponding and/or matching colors. Make them work in tandem, creating a more united overall composition. Using complementary or matching colors ensures that all the layers in the outfit work in close connection, plus it establishes another level of successful “construction” to the outfit.
Rule 4: be wary of layering multiple patterns. As you have already noticed, the art of combining patterns is difficult in itself, especially dealing with wearing layers. Begin by coordinating a lightly patterned white button-up with a more heavily patterned sweater that uses the same main color. However, until you’ve truly mastered pattern mixology, it’s probably best to err on the side of caution and use a 1:1 ratio (one pattern with one solid).
Wearing layers can really enrich your wardrobe, enabling you to reuse different pieces of clothes in different combinations. Do not give up, if sometimes goes wrong from the very beginning, you just need some practice. By the way, nobody said it would be easy…
