If creative layering is not your cup of tea, start by piling up light to heavy fabric clothes. Your lightest clothing such as a tank top, shirt, leggings, loose tops first followed by heavier clothing. Make certain all of these pieces are loose fabric, making sure you feel at ease to move around. Follow with a button-down shirt or cardigan and finally top it off with a sweater or jacket that isn’t too huge or too tight and shows off the pieces underneath. Or you can stick to the basic accessories such as a scarf, lots of necklaces, and a hat.

When you’re learning to be creative in layering, it can be a bit addictive piling every shirt you’re just dying to wear together. Just try to have a highest possible number of layers you know you will be relaxed in. A good number to begin with is three. For instance, a tank top, open button shirt, and an oversized sweater can be stylish without the unwanted bulkiness.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can stack on skirt and pants, at the same time. Again, just give awareness to designs and stick to skinny bottoms for a better look. It’s easy with a twist but don’t overdo it. Refrain from looking like you’re sporting all your clothes at once. At the end of the day it’s about how you feel and having pleasure, while being capable to take off a layer or put it back on and not seem like a desperate fashion victim.

Don’t be hesitant to clash styles and be creative in layering your clothing pieces. Just do the trick and look fabulous no matter how covered up you may be.
