An important part of the fashion language is layering. How do you prioritize your layering? Do you enjoy more or fewer layers?

i just put on clothes idk

honestly i think this is the best way to approach layering
Layering is great because you 1) just put that shit on 2) are putting more shit on rather than less shit and 3) it’s easy mode for making stuff interesting
put on clothes until you feel like there’s enough
Like hoodie and jeans are whatever, but throw a coat on and suddenly I don’t feel schlubby
I live in an all-hot year round area and I have no idea what to layer with other than cuban shirts
funnily enough if I go to a tourist area in a cuban shirt and sunglasses people start speaking english to me
There's like, maybe 3 months of the year where I can layer without sweating through every layer of clothing I put on
thissss
Like you would think a t-shirt and a linen chore coat would be fine, but no. Sweat right through it
I'm still a noob but when I was very very baby starting on fashion I always used a short button shirt with a tshirt underneath
peak young adult fashion
Layering is changing my life tbh
just like actually being more intentional with how i can mix and match pieces just adds so much more depth and usage
I think there’s more to layering than putting stuff on
Understanding hems, fabric weights, patterns, colors is all part of it, whether you think about it implicitly or explicitly
Or even the choice not to layer!
yeh
Lud I liked the layering you did today, made me want to try to dress well today instead of phoning it in bc it’s raining
may your layers be cohesive in lentgth and weight and patterns and colors etc
Dw it’s not
i love layers
so much
even if i don’t usually do more than just base-over
I get hot ://
me too
it’s why i keep my layers simple
I mean yeah, I guess haha. I just associate that with just putting clothes on cause it feels like relatively simple choices
Layering this winter has been fun after the last few were so warm that it wasn't really feasible
I feel like layering is what can make a basic wardrobe interesting. Unless you really get into the weeds on fabric types or something, solid colors pants and a solid color top are just never going to be all that interesting. Throw 1-2 layers on top of other solids and suddenly it looks really interesting.
Counterpoint to this is it is also one of the easiest ways to take clothes that should theoretically work with anything and find a way to fuck it up.
love layering - beyond the functional purpose and the ability to wear more clothes, i like all of the opportunities that come up, like what things are shown or hidden, how proportions are impacted, and how the same piece can take on different contexts solely via layerinv
I’ve found layering necklines to be really interesting and also really hard? The effects between different shirts under sweaters, crew necks under v necks, etc. that’s one thing I would like to work on more.
I think I saw two trench coats layered upon each other on the runway, which was sick.
One neckline I find really hard to layer are those sweaters with an extra big crewneck neckline.
They’re often made for women and not meant to be worn with a regular shirt neckline underneath, I think, so I feel like it can end up looking odd.
the buttoning placard/general engineering of menswear usually isn't conducive to layering under U necks and i am unsettled at going bare chest under
i think they're better sleeveless as a nod to vintage knits but still, cool yet hard to wear
there’s absolutely nothing worse than totally shirtless under a jumper
just a sweater; shirtless under cardigan is actually kinda hot
its always a skill issue
shirtless under a sweater can look good or bad
I generally like the look of it for other people
I will do anything to avoid needing to wash my sweaters more though lol
depends on the sweater but its def the biggest downside lol
oh i’m just on about now they feel lmao
i tend to just throw a vest underneath
Was thinking of something like this above, with an offset neckline which I find to look kind of weird with a crewneck shirt underneath.
i think it looks fine if its more cropped than the shirt
the one thing i struggle with is jewelry layering; skill issue but i need more variety in chain width/length and ring stacks
aesthetically soothing layering imo
plus most fits from coltar, cirque, barto, both meats and heckle (super impressive because of the combination of layering and scale)
Reminds me I had a very long necklace a child broke once and to mend it it got significantly shorter
:hawyee:
