Throwing together layers gives your look for spring a few different dynamics to keep the eye moving and entertained.
Spring has sprung, and it’s finally safe to say we can hang up our winter parkas in exchange for multiple layers, of course.
North Dakota’s springs are one of the most temperamental seasons I’ve ever experienced, second to winter, but that’s beside the point.
I can confidently say I think I have mastered the art of layering for cool mornings and warm afternoons. From running to class in the morning and off to internship duties in the afternoon, I have no time to change throughout the day.
Without further ado, here is my step-by-step guide to layering for spring 2015:
Start basic. I’m talking graphic tees, pops of color or even a simple button-down. By creating a good foundation, you’ll have no troubles finding a sharp ensemble for the day’s events.
Find a jacket or sweater at best. Mornings are still a bit chilly here in NoDak, and it doesn’t hurt to have a good solid layer on. Investing in a utility jacket or nice camel trench coat has been one of the best additions to my wardrobe yet.
Tights are not pants. However, they’re great for starting off the day with a cute dress or skirt, and if you get too warm, just slip them off in the bathroom. It’s a great way to jazz up any outfit with some color or tone it down for a meeting or interview.
I call stacking jewelry an “arm party” because that’s exactly what it is. Layer up!
Scarves, scarves, scarves. I joke with most of my clients at Evereve that a girl – or guy for that matter – can never have too many scarves. They’re just too versatile. Throw one with your T-shirt, blazer, handbag or in your hair, and you’ve just added an element of color or print that you didn’t have before.
Lastly, accessorize. Jewelry, hats and other little details can be accounted as layering and rightfully so. Have an arm party or switch it up with a floppy hat to keep your admirers’ eyes moving.
The thing that has attracted me to fashion so much is the versatility and ability to make it your own is so welcoming. Do what you need to make the look your own, but it’s okay to ask for a little help every now and then.
