How to layer clothing without adding bulk?
Layer clothing without adding bulk can be challenging. Women are favoring a more covered up look and adding style and sexiness with layers.
Consider proportion first. Wear a first layer that hugs your body. This will create a sleek silhouette and avoid adding extra volume to your frame. Add pieces that are fluid and close-fitting, not stiff or bulky over your first piece. Opt for fabrics like sheers, cotton, wool, silk, or cashmere, and limit synthetic fabrics that can trap heat and make you sweat.
It’s important to add some height and confidence with heels, wedges, platforms or knee high boots. These will elongate your legs and make you look slimmer. Flats, sandals, or sneakers will make you look shorter and casual.
Ways to layer:
Choose any color you like, such as black, white, gray, or beige, and mix and match different shades and textures of that color for a monochrome look. For example, you can wear a white blouse, a cream sweater, and a beige coat, or a black turtleneck, a charcoal blazer, and a black skirt.
Any plain shirt, patterned sweater, and coat combination or vice versa, and a coat that complements the colors and styles of the other layers. You can also play with proportions and lengths, such as a cropped sweater, a long shirt, and a midi coat, or a fitted shirt, a loose sweater, and a short coat.
Any dress you like, such as a slip dress, a wrap dress, or a maxi dress, and layer a sheer mesh top underneath or on top. Then add a jacket on top, such as a leather jacket, a bomber jacket, or a denim jacket, to balance out the femininity of the dress for an edgy look.
