Layering with colors such as white and gray with the addition of black creates a simple look that doesn’t go unnoticed.  If you’re struggling with figuring out what to wear, pick out your favorite neutral-colored pieces and start layering!  One of the current layering trends is wearing turtlenecks under low-cut sweaters and dresses.  This trend is perfect for the chilly day where you don’t want your chest and neck to be bare.
