In the market for a new fall wardrobe? To eliminate revamping your entire closet, try layering.It helps to create a mirage of an infinite closet.It’s a great concept to pairing old with the new and helps to create several different outfits.It’s an extremely practical trend, great for fall or winter.Such a versatile trend, layering allows the option to unravel or pile on clothing, which is perfect for wavering temperature.
Deemed more appropriate for colder weather, this trend, typically, consists of three layers: inner (base), mid (insulating) and shell (outer). It’s all about appearance and comfort when deciding to go this trendy route. It’s best to keep in mind: the closer to your skin, the thinner the fabric.
The base layering should consist of fabrics such as synthetic materials (i.e.: Polyester) because they absorb any moisture/sweat. Though cotton is more comfortable, it’s not a good base. Cotton is more useful for the mid because it adds warmth and also, absorbs any moisture from its underlying layer (wool and fleece make great mid layers). For the shell, it is useful in protecting against wind or water (i.e.: corduroy blazers, raincoats or water-resistant materials work wonders). The key to this trend is to stay warmer and drier (from sweat) all while adding spice to your wardrobe. The smarter you dress, the more comfortable you look and feel.
Beyond the comfort of layering and its underlying purpose, it is a method used to create style. Combining different garments, colors or even fabrics helps to create a variety of outfits. Layering is most beneficial because the wearer can shed layers according to temperature fluctuations. It is also a versatile trend-- you can create your own technique or add a variety of color. When it comes to Layering, there is no particular style.It is a method that gives your look more of an edge.
During the colder months, dressing warmer tends to be a crisis for many and keeping up with the latest fashion movement is even more of a hassle.Venturing into the world of layering speaks wonders for fashion sense. Like anything in life, fashion suits you best when you understand all of its layers.
