Layering is all about being creative with trying unique combinations of varying lengths and textures. The layered look allows you to take off and add up pieces depending on the weather’s mood swings. Stunning layered looks don’t just happen, there’s a right way to rock it effortlessly. Factors like print mixing and colour blocking and the right proportion are some of the key ingredients for nailing that perfect layered look. Want to layer like a pro? Here’s how to do it.
Proportion is key
Each piece on your layer squad shouldn’t be the same length. You have to mix up lengths to ensure no piece is overshadowed.

Plain x Pattern wins
Try rocking a plain crop top over a printed maxi high waist skirt and watch the compliments flood in.
Let turtlenecks do the talking The turtleneck does well for seamless layering but we know that if turtlenecks are not styled well, you could risk looking grandma-ish. Try throwing on a blazer or a teddy coat for a contemporary look.

Try out a monochromatic look
If you have no desire to blend in with the crowd, then try layering several shades of one colour. Everyone will easily spot the style star!
