The perfect layer styling
The perfect layer styling
The beginning of autumn and spring is a good moment to refresh your wardrobe. The most useful item for a transitional period is surely an appropriate jacket. However, trendy leather jackets, popular husky or sporty models like bomber jackets are sometimes not enough to protect well from rain, wind or cold.
Printed sweatshirts, hoodies, trousers and T-shirts – how to wear them trendy?
Instead of wearing 'big guns' like a winter coat or a warm parka jacket, you should try something totally different. Layered stylings - the best choice for moody weather. It's a clever but also really fashionable idea. To achieve such an unconstrained look, you need to put some effort in it. Matching an outfit consisting of a few random clothes is not enough. You should be sure that clothes fit each other perfectly, match latest trends and all layers are visible. In addition, a layered styling may help you improve the body proportions visually. It's enough to get familiar with appropriate tricks, appreciate the asymmetric fastening and oversize designs and it's done.
Elegant layered styling
Although smart casual look mostly consists of formal and semi-formal clothes, you can freely create a great layered and unconstrained look. It's certainly worth to play with colours. The guarantee of success is matching clothes in the colours of the Earth. Dark green can be matched with brown, black and fading claret. Another reliable choice is navy blue as the main colour. Navy blue jeans can be fitted to a trendy quilted husky jacket and complemented by a V-neck cotton T-shirt and a casual jumper. It's worth to think about chino trousers in various colours and match them with shirts and casual jumpers. For such a styling the best choice is a casual checked shirt. It's enough to match it with trendy men's shoes, e.g. ankle boots and a great stylish layered look is ready.
Comfortable layered everyday outfit
More possibilities for creating a layered styling provides casual, streetwear and sporty style. Knowing a few fashion rules enables you to create versatile stylings and at the same time to develop your own unique style.
Creating such a styling requires remembering about one rule – all layers should be visible. If you decide on a hoodie, it must be longer than a jacket and reveal a part of the T-shirt. Another perfect piece of clothing is a flannel shirtwhich may be matched freely with a T-shirt or a longsleeve or tied on the hips carelessly. You can also try on clothes that imitate layers – e.g. a longsleeve that has got the insert imitating a V-neck neckline. Longline T-shirts or hoodies with contrasting inserts e.g. an expressive check pattern on the bottom are also interesting. During the transitional period, place a bet on a men's jacket with a detachable hood or a warm and versatile quilted vest.
Colours and patterns – how to introduce them to a styling?
It's not only about the layers. You must also care about trendy colours. It's best to create a styling in which different clothes have the same colours, but other shades. For example, a jacket's lining may correspond to the colour of the T-shirt or shoes. Colourful zippers and drawstrings in a hoodie or a jacket may underline the colour of the trousers or overprints. There's plenty of opportunities.
You can also follow minimalists and place a bet on toned and calm colours. It means that a layered styling should be in black, grey, fading sky blue or white and patterns should come first. If you match jeanswith it, they will need to be stonewashed and have fancy stitchings, underlined pockets and streetwear zippers. It's also good to try on way more comfortable than jeans – joggers.
While selecting a hoodie, it's worth to pay attention to oversize zipped designs that are made from soft and marled cotton. Lightweight jackets should not only be trendy but also should underline the silhouette. The best are short bomber cuts, quilted casual ones, stylish leather jackets with a stand-up collar or legendary biker jackets with quilted arms, zippers and fancy collars.
The 'unfinished' effect
Layered stylings need to have perfectly matched details. Details are important, but on the other hand, it's good to create the impression of an 'unfinished' styling. Features like a carelessly thrown jacket on the hoodie, a loosen collar, unzipped pockets in a jacket and hoodie are always welcome. Similar to trousers' legs that may be hidden in the shoes' uppers – e.g. in sneakers or heavy boots.
