Layering is a common styling technique that many are familiar with. It involves wearing multiple pieces of clothing together to create a complete look. In winter, layering makes perfect sense because, beyond style, it serves practical purposes such as protecting you from the cold and wind, trapping heat and keeping you warm.
However, as the temperature begins to rise, layering may seem out of the question. That does not mean, though, that it is not doable at all. With the right choice of fabrics, silhouettes, and styling, layering can be adapted for summer in a way that keeps you cool while still looking stylish and put together.
