New York Fashion Week has arrived, which means it is the time for all of us fashion lovers to lust over what is in store for spring. On the runways, versions of colorful prints are a hit as well as a return to minimalistic and simple dressing. Many designers are displaying a play on texture for spring 2011 by layering sheer and knit fabrics. Such collections thus far include those by Rag & Bone, Tommy Hilfiger and Malandrino.
Although the weather here is starting to cool, you can still achieve an easy-going layered look for class. I adored this Fashionista’s ensemble because she looked put-together in a carefree and simple way. She layered an ash-gray sweater over a printed top and accessorized with a beaded necklace. A monochromatic sweater is enhanced when worn over a bold printed top. Overall, layering items can make it possible to wear pieces from spring into fall – allowing some clothing to transition from season to season.
Hint: When layering tops, it is best to make sure that the shape of the necklines match up. However for more visual interest, you can try layering a sweater over a shirt with a collar such as this fun top. Bringing the runway look to reality is simple by layering your knits this fall.
