How to Achieve the Layered Shirt Look
Achieving any fashionable look is possible if the wearer is confident and comfortable. The layered shirt look is particularly easy to pull off because it is not overtly trendy and is adjustable for individual style. Men and women alike can succeed in pulling off this unassuming, casual look for day or evening. Accessorizing the look with jewelry and heels for women and loafers and a sleek watch for men carries it easily into evening. Does this Spark an idea?

Choose a base layer to begin. A thin, soft T-shirt works well for a more casual look. A button-down works for formal occasions.

Top off the T-shirt with a hoodie. Layer a vest over a button-down.

Wear a soft, single-breasted blazer or jacket over the hoodie. Since this look is casual, corduroy, crushed velvet or cotton are preferable materials. The final layer over the vest can also be a blazer or jacket, but the material should be more formal, such as wool or tweed. Single and double-breasted are both acceptable for formal attire.

Choose a base layer to begin. A long-sleeved, soft T-shirt or a tank top would work well.

5
Layer a fitted short-sleeve T-shirt over a long-sleeved one. If you begin with a tank top, be sure it is longer than your second layer so that it shows at the bottom. Layer a short-sleeved or long-sleeved T-shirt over the tank top.

6
Layer a fitted jacket or hoodie over either look. A loose, open vest over the tank-top version is another option. Contrasting colors and patterns in the layers add dimension and pop to the look.
