Three's a Charm: The Simple Formula for Next-Level Layering
This week's Style Edit is all about our continuing love affair with the third layer — the pieces that instantly turns a simple outfit into a complete look.
Rather than serving as purely functional a third layer refers to lightweight, finishing pieces — light jackets, kimonos, vests — that pull together top and bottom basics. By introducing subtle structure, color variation, or texture without adding bulk, this technique creates visual interest and depth while preserving a clean, flattering silhouette.
What to look for in a third layer:
Design details that add interest:
Think cowlnecks, wired necklines, asymmetrical hems or cropped shapes that play with shape and proportion.
Rich textures that add dimension:
From cozy knits and quilted fabrics to taffeta and wools.
