I love to layer my clothing.
In fact, I get lots of comments on how I layer. I layer my clothing even in the summer!
You can really add to an outfit by what you are layering with. I even love for Hayden to wear layers.
Especially with our wacky St. Louis weather–where it can start the day at 40 degrees and end up being 70 degrees–it’s good to start the day off with several different layers.
I like to layer shirts, tanks (sometimes even 2!) and jackets!
Here are my Top 10 tips on staying stylish while layering!
1. Start with a tank!
I love to wear a tank underneath all my shirts! I especially love long tanks because if I have a shirt that ends up being short you can see the tank underneath and it’s okay.
2. You can be casual or dressy with layers!
You can wear a plain long sleeve shirt or tank but instantly dress it up with a cute cardigan and some long necklaces!
3. Layer your legs!
Wear some cute tights or leggings under a skirt and then some boots!
4. Mix colors!
I’m a big fan of wearing black but love to wear bright colors underneath!
5. Dress for the season!
I was crazy and went out for Black Friday and it was COLD! So I made sure to layer myself in my tank, a long sleeve shirt, a cute scarf and my jacket! It was great because while it was cold outside, it was HOT in the stores so I was able to shed some layers!
6. Layer the right fabric!
You don’t want to get overheated so make sure that you are not layering fleece over fleece. Try a cool cotton fabric as your bottom layer!
7. More is better!
Starting out with more layers is always better than not enough. Like I said with wacky St. Louis weather, it’s best to start off with more and shed throughout the day.
8. Accessorize!
Layer yourself with jewelry! Long necklaces, short necklaces! Scarfs are also a great way to layer and add to an outfit!
9. Don’t go bulky with layers!
That is another reason I like that have tanks as my base layer. It’s thin but you can get tanks that are tight against your stomach. Then you can put a bulky shirt or another thin shirt over your tank. I usually like to do a tank, a short sleeve shirt and then a cardigan. That way I can put a bulky coat over if I have to and it doesn’t look terrible!
10. Be flexible!
When layering it’s best to layer with clothing that is soft and easy to move in. It’s hard to move around when you have stiff shirt under a soft cardigan!

I love this post! I ALWAYS layer. I literally wear a long cami under everything, even tshirts. It keeps things from being see-through, adds length to my stumpy torso, and yeah, keeps the undies hidden when playing on the floor with a toddler in jeans! 😉
