The Art of Layering

This is winter and layering is what you have to resort to whether you like it or not. I personally can't fathom why someone would hate layering. The possible outfits you can create with layering are uncountable really. You just need a few basic pieces to start in blacks, whites, greys and beige and of course denim. Here are the key pieces I love layering. Below are my top three layering pieces that I absolutely adore.

1. The Oversized White Shirt: In my opinion, an oversized white shirt is THE wardrobe staple. you can wear it as an overlay, as a dress, like a skirt and you can layer it in infinite ways. The latest trend is to wear a skirt over it and team it up with your favourite pair of boots. You can also wear a cropped top or a corset over your shirt and make a fabulous outfit. If Corsets are not your thing, just layer the shirt with a sweater vest and pair it with your sneakers and you have a cute outfit that you can wear anywhere. 

2. A Sleeveless Black Dress: Wear it with a jacket. Preferably a denim jacket. Or team it up with a long coat and boots. You can even wear it over a fine knit sweater or a shirt or a knit top. If those are not your style, add a corset as the top layer and your black dress is now party-ready. Or add a skirt over it to wear it as a top. and team it up with your favourite jacket. 

3. The Desi White Kurta: For those who do not know what a Kurta is, it is a piece of clothing that closely resembles a tunic that will find as a wardrobe staple in most South-East Asian households. The kurta can be worn as a traditional attire or it can be paired with a pair of denims for a chic outfit. You can also layer it with a light jacket and a belt. Or you can wear a cropped sweater over it depending on the style of the Kurta. A kurta is a versatile piece of clothing. If you are in the west and don't have the access to Desi clothing brands, as your Desi friend to make it the Christmas Gift for you.
