How to layer clothes

I always feel like girls have it easier when it comes to clothes. They have a lot more options. But one of the things that belongs to menswear and it has been among us for ages is the art of layering an outfit, especially clothes for winter. 

It's an awesome way to put patterns, textures, colors, and all those pieces from our wardrobes together. Here in Seoul, I've experienced snow for the first time and, as much as I love it, it's bloody cold outside. So, I've become a sort of master when it comes to layering, or at least that's what I tell myself. 

So, in the spirit of the holidays and the sharing of wisdom, here's an easy guide that will help you be a pro at layering in no time:

1. Start with a simple t-shirt, solid or with a mild print.
2. Add a lightweight layer. It can be a sweater, cardigan, shirt or vest.
3. The next layer comes in the form of a jacket or blazer.
4. This one's optional. If you're afraid of the cold, a coat or cape is recommended. I personally tend to go for an oversized one.
5. Accessorize with a neckpiece: a tie, bow tie, necklace or scarf are good options.

Remember, you don't want to look like a Christmas tree, so if you feel like you're wearing too many things, get rid of one or two until you feel comfortable. Like I always do with these styling posts, I will post my take on layers on an outfit tomorrow, here's my take on a layers outfit.

// Siempre he sentido que las mujeres la tienen más fácil cuando se trata de ropa. Tienen muchas más opciones. Pero una de las cosas que siento pertenece a los hombres y que ha estado entre nosotros por décadas es el arte de usar capas en un atuendo, especialmente con ropa de invierno.

Es una manera bien padre de poner texturas, estampados, colores y todas esas piezas en nuestro closet juntas. Aquí en Seúl, me tocó vivir la nieve por primera vez y, con todo lo que la amo, hace un frío del demonio allá afuera. Así que me he convertido en una especie de maestro cuando se trata de capas, o al menos eso es lo que me repito.

Así que, con el espíritu de las festividades y la idea de compartir la sabiduría, aquí presento una guía fácil que los ayudará a convertirse en pro's en crear capas en nada de tiempo:

1. Empiecen con una playera simple, en color sólido o con un estampado sencillo.
2. Añadan una capa ligera. Puede ser un sweater, cardigan, camisa o chaleco.
3. La siguiente capa debe venir en la forma de una chamarra o saco.
4. Ésta es opcional. Si les da miedito salir por el frío, un abrigo o capa es recomendado. Yo tiendo a elegir algo más grande de lo normal o oversized.
5. Agreguen accesorios para el cuello: corbatas, corbatines, collares o bufandas son buenas opciones.

Recuerden, no quieren parecer árboles de Navidad, así que si sienten que están usando algo que sobra, desháganse de una cosa o dos hasta que se sientan cómodos. Como siempre hago con estos posts de estilismo, mañana postearé mi atuendo en capas, aquí está mi atuendo inspirado en este post.
Love always,
Hen.

  3. Layering ensures you are protected from the cold and is an easy way to keep warm. The base, middle and outer layers are equally important. One wrong layer and your effort to keep cozy is for nought. For me, I love Merino wool because of its versatility and comfort.
