LAYER IT UP

-

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.
