Layer Your Sweater

Whether you layer to get a chic polished look or to just stay warm, it’s always nice to have some fresh ideas on hand.

 

 Choose the Right Sweater – The best layering sweater is one that is slightly thicker. You don’t want the see the underlying buttons poke through the top. It doesn’t need to be too long so that you can see the hem of the button down peek out from underneath.

 

 Choosing the Right Shirt – You can go with almost any button down underneath a thicker sweater, but for thinner sweaters, you’ll want to choose something light and delicate.

 

 Roll Your Sleeves – The key steps to getting the perfect chic layered-look is scrunching up your sweater sleeves near your elbow, bringing the cuff up over the sweater, and neatly rolling the shirt up to the cuff. This step highlights the two fabrics without adding bulkiness to your sleeves.

WEARING A DENIM SHIRT WITH JEANS

Women’s denim shirts look fabulous with everything from leather pants to a plaid skirt but pairing one with jeans is where it gets tricky. Denim on denim can be a recipe for disaster if not done right so I’m here to explain how to wear a chambray shirt with your favorite pair of skinnies. Read on…

The DO’s and DON’Ts of Wearing A Denim Shirt with Jeans

• Stick with different washes and fits – DON’T wear lights together or two super-fitted pieces. 
• DO tuck in your shirt. Play around with the full tuck, front tuck, half tuck and see which silhouette works for you. DO add a skinny belt  to break up your top and bottom half!
• DON’T forget accessories. Adding this glam is not only trendy but gives your look a chic finish.
• DO have fun with your footwear. A feminine heel   or preppy loafer provides direction to all of that denim and makes a statement.
