I’ve seen street style ladies with extraordinary upper muscle strength. Ladies who put fashion and style among everything else including their fragile figures. Layering is their thing and it’s my thing too, not only in fashion but also in Interiors but, not at my physical risk. I have seen a few like this: it all starts with a t-shirt, then a V-neck sweater, a cardigan, an open t-shirt, a blazer, an under coat, a coat and another t-shirt wrap around the waist. You know just in case you run across someone in the need of clothes. My back aches at just the thought of all that weight! Layering clothes is exceptionally necessary during strong winters and fluctuating temperatures, like the ones confronting in the States. However I hope in 2014 we get to see a more realistic approach to street fashion without the trivial urgency for clamoring attention. These ladies here show us how to do it tastefully while layering clothes stylishly while making sweaters interesting all while keeping their back health intact.
When Fall was in full bloom here in Sao Paulo I used to wear a lot of sweaters-sweaters with skirt, with pants, with jeans and so on. But a sweater can be a bit blah if considering its regular shape. I think it’s always a good idea to look around for inspiration on how to make any piece of typical garment look more interesting; in this case making sweaters interesting. I like the idea of layering it on top of a shirt, sort of like in a peek-a-boo way. Another great way to wear a jacket or blazer on the shoulders and above all and by far my favorite is to wear a big statement necklace on top. Enjoy!
