What fashion pieces work well for layering?

Essentially, every layered look begins with a tank top, t-shirt or another light-weight shirt layer.

The next level is comprised of long sleeve shirts, vests or sweatshirts.

Layers are finished off with jackets or cardigans.

Of course, you’ll want to also coordinate your pants or skirts to create a complete layered outfit.

Extras like scarves, hats, mittens, shoes and socks can be used to enhance your overall layered look.

How do I decide how to layer my fashion pieces?

When you begin to build your fall wardrobe

1) think about the activities you’ll be participating in
2) and what colors you’d like to brighten up the season.

From the colors you select, pick one base color to begin with. Purchase a tank top, t-shirt or another light-weight shirt in this color.

Then, begin to build your layered pieces around your tank top. Now is the time to consider patterned pieces that have complimentary or contrasting colors, such as a flannel shirt.

Continue layering the look by coordinating your vests, sweaters, jacket and pants.

For example:

Starting with a Blair Essential Stretch Tank in Bright Blue, you can quickly pair it with the Plaid Flannel Tunic in Clamatis Blue and a pair of Flat Waist Washed Demin Jeans in Indigo for a cheerful, casual fall look:

Layering is a great way to refresh your wardrobe!

Basic layering fashion pieces are always the perfect addition. In addition to creating new outfits, you can mix and match new wardrobe pieces with your existing clothing.

Either way, you’ll have a fresh new layered look for fall!

    I love the clothes you chose. Those are great styles and colors. I did not know Blair had these styles. I love they have a tunic plaid flannel. I will go check them out as I would like to have one and it would be a great holiday gift for my daughter.

          Thanks Celeste! Agree with you, it does look neat and can really slim the body when you have great-fitting pieces. Glad you enjoy my selection!

      Thanks Tasheena! So glad you found the tips helpful! Hope you have a lovely fall season!

  1. I don’t have many outfits that I can layer. But fall is a great time to layer items, because as the weather changes throughout the day, you can shed clothing if needed and add it back if it cools off again.

      I was the same way but now my wardrobe is full of pieces I can layer. It’s so helpful during the times of year where weather changes constantly, for sure!

    Layering is the perfect way to go for me these days! The mornings start out cool, but I get warm as the day wears on. I need a vest.

      Same here, Beth! I also find I often need extra layers inside, especially when there is air-conditioning running.

    It’s that time of year to layer!! So cold in the morning and then it’s decent in the afternoon, only to cool down again once the sun goes down.

    Thanks for the tips. Where I live you have to wear layers or you will be sweating or freezing within ten minutes.

    Layering is the only way to dress for fall in Colorado. Start with winter temps warm up to fall and then a touch of summer in the afternoon.

    I love layering but I have to keep it to at best like a tank under a sweater or a button down over a tank. I get too constrained feeling.

    I like the tip to start with lightweight shirts. I live in Florida so it doesn’t get too chilly here, but tonight its below 60 degrees.
