How to layer for style and warmth

Darcy’s rules for layering:

1. Start with lightweight, fitted basics as a first layer and build strategically by adding thicker pieces.

2. Strive for different textures/fabrics in your outfit: wool, cotton, satin, leather are all different and can all balance each other nicely.

3. Try to not to lose your waistline under all the layers. Tucking in shirts and belts can help.

4. Think about how each layer will be visible and contribute to the overall look—try not to cover anything up completely. What’s the point of adding something to your outfit if you won’t even see it? 5. If you feel like you’re wearing too much, it’s ok to peel it back!
