I welcome you to the wonderful world of layering. What used to be seen as a bulky, non-stylish and inconvenient hack that you only did to appease your parent/guardian, has now been transformed into a complete fashion statement. Preppy, early 2000s fashion is back in full force, and I think you can attribute the rebrand and re-introduction of layering 2.0 to the trend revival.
Fashion can be difficult to navigate in the cold winter months. A ton of time and effort is spent putting together an incredible outfit, only to cover it up with a bulky coat the second you step outside. Sharing your style with others, and interacting with it out and about is part of the experience. At the very least, you should get to show off the pride and joy of your well-thought-out ‘fit.
In case you were unaware, or need new ideas and inspiration for incorporating layers into your winter wardrobe in a flattering way, then look no further. Here’s a complete rundown on the different layering trends that are continuing to blow up, and photo examples on how to style them.
High-neck under sweater
I like to call this the ’90s preppy look that can be seen all over Pinterest and social media style feeds. This is your most basic introduction into the world of layering, in my opinion. It’s the classic high-neck fitted tee, long-sleeve or turtleneck under a v-neck sweater. It screams chic ’90s mom. This will definitely keep you warm and can really be versatile when it comes to color, texture and styling.
Where to shop
High-neck fitted short and long-sleeve tops as well as turtlenecks are easy-to-find basic staples. No need to break the bank, especially since they’ll be mostly covered as the bottom layer of your look.
