If there’s one trend that is basic and high street at the same time, it’s layering! Layering a great way to use all the old clothes in your closet and put together a new look every single time. If you thought layering is is a season specific trend, it’s time to think again, girls! Because here we are, with 8 awesome tips so you can nail the layering trend!
1. Play with mesh…
Mesh, as a trend, has been a hit this season. We saw a lot of bloggers sport the trend in mesh body suits, tops and dresses. Guess what? A mesh bodysuit or a top can actually prove to be a great layering piece! So wear a mesh bodysuit under a slightly revealing top, for a sexy yet not scandalous outfit. You’ll be amazed by final look, we bet!
2. Denim jackets for the win!
A denim jacket is a layering staple. You can throw it over whatever you’re wearing – a t-shirt, jeans or a dress. A denim jacket has the power to give any outfit a chic update! Wear a relaxed denim jacket over a well fitted dress or a structured jacket over a loose maxi dress to balance your look.
3. Put a slip on it
If you’re wondering how to slay the art of summer layering, just wear a slip top over a t-shirt or a slip dress over a plain tee, and you’re ready! It’s a wearable layering idea that even celebrities like Deepika Padukone swear by. So what are you waiting for, ladies? Get started, now!
4. A long scarf can work wonders!
A long scarf is not only a simple layering piece, but also a great way to add some length to your look. If you’re not a fan of over the top layering, just wear a long scarf in a contrast colour to the rest of your outfit for a simple yet chic look.
5. A trench coat is a good idea
Trench coats aren’t just for the winter, ladies! You can very well work them for a summer occasion where you know you might need an extra layer of clothing. A sleeveless trench looks best when paired with high waisted pants and a tucked in top!
6. Flaunt that bralette!
This one might seem familiar to you. We’re sure you must’ve seen celebrities and bloggers flaunt their pretty bralettes through their outfit. So why are you holding back, girls? Wear a bralette under a sheer top or wear it as a top and complete the look with a denim jacket. We bet you’ll look all shades of sexy!
7. The fail-safe shrug!
Might sound a little old school, but a simple shrug is an absolute savior! Whether it’s that time of the month when you just can’t wear a sleeveless outfit or just when you need something to keep you warm. Get yourself a shrug in a neutral colour so you can team it up with just about anything and dress down an otherwise formal look.
8. Tie a shirt on it!
When you want to pull of the ‘I don’t give a damn’ look, all you need a shirt that’s tied to your waist. There’s something so messy and appealing about this kind of layering that you’ll be a fan in the first try! The next time you wear a crop top and want to draw attention to your midriff, you know how to go about it!
So get layering girls!
