The Art of Layering?

kenzie · Chanel

I usually start with a tank/cami or l/s t and then build from there. Sometimes I'll add a dressy blouse or cami and then a blazer. Sometimes I'll put on button down shirt and then a shrunken cardi and then a blazer. It just depends. Like the other day, I wore a cami, then I put on a l/s striped button down oxford and then I put a 3/4 sleeve cropped cardigan with a deep scoop neck on top and buttoned the top few buttons. Then, I threw on a blazer to finish it off.

I think the key to layering is the layers thin and just play around with your wardrobe. You'd be surprised what works.

Here's an example of what I did.

I actually cheated a bit, because the pink wrap top had the built-in brown cami. Then I put a brown corduroy blazer over it.

Layering works well when you have a low-cut top with a cami/tank under it, then a jacket on top of that.
