Aren’t layers for winter, you ask? It may sound strange but ‘layering-up’ is an actual trend for the summer. Worn the right way you’re keeping up with this summer’s hottest look.
Here is a basic guide on how to sport the layered-fabrics look this summer season, keeping wardrobe up to date and you feeling absolutely comfortable.
1. Layer two tanks
Tips:
- Try tank tops with different straps for a cool yet flirty look
- Put a solid tank below and a sheer, patterned or dressier one on top
- Color of the tops need not adhere to the summer palette; layered colors should complement each other

2. Summer Scarves
- Choose a scarf made of light breezy fabric to make sure you feel cool wearing it
- The scarf should not be tightly worn but left loose in a graceful way
- Choose the color and texture carefully as it adds appeal to any ensemble

3. Jackets/Shrugs
Tips:
- Wear it over a sleeveless sundress, tunic or a tube top.
- If you are conservative, but still want to rock the layered look-its a great option for you.
- Go for thin, cool, softly knit- lace or sheer jacket.
- If your dress or tunic is plain/single color, throw in a chunky necklace or a bracelet to enhance your overall look.

4. Shirt + top
- Make sure shirt is long, well fitted and preferably white (Works almost always)
- Roll up your sleeves to get that casual look
- It works really well with a pair of shorts for a fashionably layered summer combo
- If you like, you can also tie the shirt tails into a knot at the front opening

Things to remember:
- This layering is for summer, so don’t overdo the bulky fabrics
- Go for light weight, breathable fabrics
- Wear a loose garment over a tight garment
- Avoid over accessorizing
So if being trendy is what you’re seeking, try these suggestions!

I’ve alwaz been very fond of layering as far as it doesn’t give a messy or fatty look..luvd ur tips gal!!
Yeah..Infact layering helps hide the flab if styled well 🙂 Thanks Nandita 🙂
I’ve always been a fan of layering, even when I was back home where the weather was such an obstacle to carry out successful layering. Layering always adds dimensions to outfits, and you can do so many things with the most basic items of clothing. I like this!
