STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Layering For Length

Style Advice of the Week

Layering on its own can be one of the trickiest things to master, even for the most experienced of Fashionistas. But end of summer layering? Well, that just makes things even more complicated. Lucky for us, this Fashionista has created a comfortable and casual layered look that can easily be recreated.

Although she’s actually quite petite, this week’s Fashionista uses layers to her advantage. While the vibrant red color of her sweater stands out as the focal point of the outfit, the added length makes her appear taller. Her cuffed black pants and open-toe bow flats keep the outfit from looking too casual and the monochromatic style helps to elongate her, as do the long, layered necklaces as well. The pop of color in this Fashionista’s sweater keeps her outfit from appearing too neutral and it's fitted shape ensures she doesn't look bulky or like the sweater is wearing her rather than vice versa. This Fashionista’s light layering is perfect for looking casual yet polished in the early days of fall.

Looking to practice your layering skills so you’ll be prepared come the brutally chilling days of winter? Fall is the perfect time to practice because, as this Fashionista shows, you can start with simple, light layers. To recreate her look, try this long, textured cardigan in a mossy green or deep burgundy; two stylish statement colors this fall. Add your favorite fitted T-shirt and some black pants to tailor the outfit, like this pair of slim cafe capris. To appear even longer and leaner, keep the accessories simple with two layered charm necklaces in the same metal. This look can be easily thrown together during a rushed morning and will have you looking comfortable and cute all day long.
