When it comes to throwing layers on, I’m pretty sure I top the charts. As I have mentioned before I am usually freezing at all times, yet in certain places get warmer then usual. This may be one reason I am partial to the fall, because I do not need an excuse to be wearing a million things which to some may resemble a sumo wrestler (hey, if it makes me warm, so be it!). There are a few techniques I try and stick to when making this look appear more “acceptable”. You can find these tips and tricks that i adhere to, below the photos.
Step One: Start with a basic top that has some texture. This way it adds a bit more appeal to the eye rather then a plain white top. Choose something with a picture, wording or in this case layered ruffles (going with the layer theme, obsessed, well aware).
Step Two: Next, choose a loser fitting boyfriend cardigan that is longer in length. While you are attempting the “layered look” you don’t want to resemble a marshmallow, so adding different lengths can help balance everything out.
Step Three: Faux leather jacket all the way, or any jacket that is fitted. Using a more tailored coat helps hug everything closer to your body, once again making sure you steer clear of a marshmallow.
Step Four: Top off with a fun vest…quilted, faux fur, puffy, whatever it may be. This adds some dimension and allows you to still see the texture of your jacket peek through on the sleeves.
I also always pair layers with super skinny pants or jeans. This way you aren’t bulky all over and it balances everything out. Finishing with a cute bootie or heel ties everything together quite nicely.
