CONCEPT: LAYERING

be all, end all...

and by that, i mean this is by far & away my favorite layering look

EVER!

with fall approaching, if not here for most, layering becomes more essential to our mobility. the transitional focus of layering can be nerve wracking and tricky for some, so i want to highlight prime layering examples, and the godess of layering herself: TAYLOR TOMASI HILL

layering is a fearsome thing to behold. it takes panache, and a'lil understanding of the how-to's and def-not's that the masters of layering display effortlessly.

layering should, and often, exhibits a sense of humor and spontaneity. not to be taken too seriously, the look above dabbles in layering, patterns and the POP of bright color.

notice the textures & patterns, bold. the key to getting this right is that a majority of the look, regardless of fabric or graphic, remains in the same earthy palette. this gives it enough continuity that she is able to throw in the skirt as the statement piece without unbalancing the rest of the look. well done.

if your look leans toward the classic, layering is as easy as a few of the right pieces + accessories: denim, trench and a bright bag. All is pulled together, and yet has depth.

"weather" it's summer or fall, you can layer!! the above demonstates that quite well. again, it's great to notice a creation-theme. grey is the chosen palette, which serves as a base that allow her to mix, not one but, two animal prints. the look is refreshing rather than psychitzo.

try your hand at this concept slowly... it is a skill, i believe, that is most rewarding when mastered. g'luck.

fall is coming! slipping into knits: instantaneously stylish, and comfortable too.

RELAXED FIT

a worthy mention, joanna hillman is quite inspiring here w/her double-layered

jackets, which really caught my eye.

PROPORTIONALLY SOUND

 

it's perfectly proportional. the slim pants, the striped top offsetting the khaki pants, and especially the accessories: hat, bag, shoes & jewelry all harmonized.

there is so much to love here.
