Layers and Layers of LAYERS !!!

Menswear Inspired Layered Look
By Paul Smith


It is no big secret that one of this years biggest Fall Trends is the "Layered Look". This trend has been around for quite some time and isn't going anywhere anytime soon! There is no other way to stay warm while, at the same time, remaining effortlessly chic and stylish. I am, by far, the biggest fan of the layered look. It allows you to be creative in expressing and displaying your style. I believe that it is fairly easy to layer looks but some people may have a few problems with pairing the right pieces that compliment each other, not only in color but in how each piece is shaped and how it drapes. Layering is art; it takes time and you want to always see the main focus which is YOU! Never hide your silhouette; we want to notice you wearing the clothes not the clothes wearing you. But don't worry, I'll be sure to give you tips !


Tips on Layering

1. Have a LOOK ! A Complete look. What vibe are you going for ? Menswear, Preppy, Vintage, Rock, Glamorous ?

2. If you have lost yourself in the clothes than it is all wrong ! We should always see YOU!

3. Have Volume in your look. Everything shouldn't be form fitting! There should always be a Balance.

4. Minimize your accessories ! The last thing you want is over-exaggerated clothes and than alot of jewelery! A simple watch or ring or necklace is enough. Try not to do a lot of statement jewelry pieces!

5. Play with colors and fabrics ! Don't stick to one family of colors, experiment ! Get WILD but not too wild lol.
