As the seasons change from blistering heat to a chilly breeze, our wardrobes follow suit. This doesn’t mean we have to say goodbye to our summer clothes, though. Layering and reusing pieces in new ways not only makes for interesting outfits, but it also encourages reusability and versatility, making outfits personalized and unique. Layering different materials like soft knits with corduroy or delicate lace with denim, can create visual diversity, texture and contrast in an outfit. Each layer tells a story, contributing to that effortless “I just threw this on” energy, while actually reflecting thoughtful styling.
“Layers on Layers” also pulls inspiration from grunge fashion, a popular style in the 90s that keeps making its way back into modern trends. It’s known for its sustainability, muted tones, its use of layering and fits perfectly with the shifting mood of autumn. These looks are comfortable and effortless while also inspiring individuality.
There's never really "nothing to wear", not when mixing unexpected pieces and contrasting textures - formerly left sitting in the closet - could create a sudden new style.
