Tips and Tricks
Depending on where you live, springtime isn’t the same for everybody. It can be quite balmy and warm on the East Coast, but on the other side of the world, it’s still not the time for shorts and miniskirts to be worn solo. One trick that you can do so that you can keep wearing those shorts and miniskirts is to layer made to measure outfits. However, it can be quite a fashion dilemma on how you can effectively do this without looking like you got thrown into a pile of laundry and decided to walk around with that mess.
Layering can either make or break your entire outfit. For some, it is effortlessly genius when done correctly. For others, it can be awkward and uncomfortably bulky. It’s usually not because only some people are born with that talent in layering, but it’s more about your styling skills and creating foolproof outfit formulas.
The Art Of Layering For Springtime Outfits
We all live in a time that when it comes to fashion and style, more is more. If you look into big brands such as Balenciaga–a brand that has proceeded to decide that when you’re layering as many clothes as possible, you look better and cooler. If you also check out Fashion Week styles, it’s like everyone in the fashion industry has decided that hey, we have to pile on the fabric. While it’s never really a must to keep up with trends and styles, it would never hurt to check what’s hot and what’s not. So this spring, you may want to opt for putting a little twist in your bespoke springtime outfits mix in order to look hip and chic.
Be bold when it comes to layering. Always bring out your best features and don’t be afraid to flaunt them. Everyone is unique and there’s nothing wrong about that!
