Summer will end soon and autumn will begin. However, between hot summer and cold autumn, there is a period when it is no longer hot, but not yet so cold. And during this period, you can not run and take out warm jackets and quilted coats from the closets. Instead, you can try a beautiful and most importantly practical way of warming - layering.





What is layering? Layering is a technique when things go in layers in an image. Layering can be created from two layers, or from three or more. The more layers, the more interesting, creative and versatile the image looks. The main thing is to be able to combine all things with each other so that the image turns out to be harmonious and elegant, and does not resemble cabbage.



Layering is one of the favorite techniques of modern stylists and fashionistas to create a beautiful, comfortable and cozy look.

Against the background of images from a T-shirt and jeans, a multi-layered set stands out immediately and catches the eyes of the people around. Even without using a large number of accessories with the help of layering, you can create a complete look. After all, layering is a play of shapes, textures, colors.



This technique helps keep you warm on cool mornings and throw off your belongings in the afternoon as it warms up when the sun rises high above your head. For example, in the morning you can go out in a cardigan over a shirt and top, and at lunchtime, when it gets warm, walk in a top and an unbuttoned shirt, throwing off the cardigan. In such clothes, the gust of the morning wind and the sultry heat of the dinner sun are not scary.



The more layers, the more interesting the image. I want to consider and study multilayerness. Of course, a multi-layered image is interesting in itself, but if you include different textures, colors, prints and shapes, then the image will sparkle with even more interesting notes.



Textures:
To create an image in different textures, you can try a silk blouse, a knitted sleeveless jacket and a leather jacket.

At the Balmain Fall / Winter 2020-2021 show, different textures were used, such as leather, knitwear, etc. And although the kits were collected mainly in monochrome, this did not affect the finished images. Balmain always offers a luxurious flamboyant style that grabs attention and multiplies our appeal.



Print:
The use of a variety of prints in a multi-layered set helps to create especially creative and interesting images that more clearly express the information message to others. You can use geometric prints in one look, or combine flora and fauna prints in the image. For example, you can wear a vertical striped shirt over the top of the vest. The image will immediately become dynamic and interesting.



For example, in the Chanel fall-winter 2020-2021 collection, a method was used to combine a variety of geometric prints in one set. The look is memorable, although only black and white were used.



Now let's see an example of layering from Bottega Veneta. The fashion house at the very winter 2020-2021 show used peach and red colors in a warm temperature and the image turned out to be very beautiful.



Thanks to the thoughtful combination, leather pants, knitted top and flannel shirt look interesting and fresh. And if you try to add color and put together a set of leather pants in brown, a green knit top and a red check shirt, then the look will become more memorable.

The easiest way to create a layered outfit is with a T-shirt, an open shirt, and a leather jacket. A more creative way could be, for example, dress on dress. Or a voluminous jacket worn over a more fitted jacket like Versace's.



Layering can be calm and elegant, or creative and extravagant.

Layering in monochrome and in one texture, for example from a knitted top, cardigan and knitted skirt, gives out calm elegance. And a leather skirt worn over trousers can look unexpected and surprise with extravagant courage.

For practical layered sets, it is best to use loose-fitting items to help you breathe easier and your clothes do not restrict movement. Here, the first layer can fit the body, for example a top, but from the second layer there should be air between the clothes and your body.

There are other options to achieve a multi-layered effect. For example, various accessories will help us - shawls, scarves, stoles, capes and so on ...

This method was used at the Fall / Winter 2020-2021 show from Balmain, the designer used a cape as a top layer.

How to incorporate additional fashion trends into layering

This season there are trends that will make the layered set even more spectacular. Three of the most interesting trends:

1) Knitted vest

The jersey vest has been used by many designers this season and one of the memorable looks was presented by Dior.



2) Cape

One of the noblest trends of this season is capes. Cape was presented at almost all shows for the fall-winter 2020-2021 season. Capes from such designers as Givenchy, Chanel, etc. are especially noteworthy. But the most memorable multi-layered image with a cape came from Carolina Herrera.



3) Fringe

This trend provides additional scope for composing a multi-layered look. Fringe adorns coats, fur coats, jackets this season, not to mention accessories. Fringed bags and shoes add another stylish item to your layering.



Having tried a multi-layered look once, you will understand how comfortable, beautiful, creative and functional it is.
