Quick Recap: For the past 3 weeks we've been doing a mini-series on over Back to School Essentials which were FLATS, TEES, and JEANS. This week we're going to be talking about layers. Layers meaning things you can layer on top of shirts like cardigans, hoodies, and just regular jackets. This is definitely an essential because classrooms can get outrageously cold but you can cover up and stay warm while still looking fashionable. So let's jump into today's post!
THE CARDIGAN..
Cardigans are going to be something we cover/elaborate on in our up-coming fall series but we're going to cover basics. Cardigans are a comfortable layer that come in many styles, prints, and colors. They'll still keep you warm without being a big, bulky, unfashionable layer of clothing.
Look to the left and you'll see this Black Essential Sweater Cardigan from Forever 21 for only $13.50. Since it is black and just a plain color you can pretty much put this over anything.
For example, a casual outfit that you can throw this cardigan over you can do this Black/White Miles Davis Tank, Royal Premium Denim Colored Ankle Jeans, and these Grey Perforated Leatherette Loafers. For accessories you can do a pair of simple studs or a pair of large hoops.
LAYER #2 ...THE JACKET
Okay now layer number 2 is just a regular throw on jacket. Usually when you see someone with one on it's just because they are cold and it doesn't really go with what they have on or is overshadowing the outfit. We're not saying that you need to be matchy...but our advice is to keep the jacket in mind when you decide what you want to wear.
For example this Pink Knit Athletic Jacket shown to the right can be thrown over anything but if you chose your outfit thinking about the possibility that you might throw it over an outfit, it would look better.
Let's say you had on this pair of Grey Signature Skinny Jeans. You might to go with Neon Yellow Native Graphic Top to add some more color and print to the outfit. Then you can do this pair of Black Braided T-Strap Sandals with a pair of studs or hoops. You can even do a bangle...but make sure it's pretty casual since the outfit is so casual.
LAST LAYER....THE HOODIE!

LAST LAYER....THE HOODIE!
Okay so the last layer we're going to briefly cover is a hoodie. Hoodies come in all colors, prints, and styles as well. As you can see the hoodie to the left is a crop hoodie.
This is a layer that doesn't require much clothing to be paired with it. You can wear these Denim Classic Rolled Hem Shorts, Green Colored Skinny Jeans, or step outside the box of regular denim and do these Grey Acid Wash Skinny Jeans. For a layer under the hoodie you can just do a plain camisole or tee. As far as shoes go, you can do both pair of shoes that were listed in the tip above and of course a pair of studs or hoops.
Well ladies...we know the post was short and simple but we just wanted to give you a few things to think about as far as layering jackets or hoodies over your clothes while still looking presentable!
