Layering. Yes, I know it’s becoming warmer and you’re wondering why in the world anyone would want to put on more clothes than they have to. Trust me, you’ll be fine. I want to show you the proper way to layer clothing so you won’t look like you’re trying to fit in at Abu Dhabi when trying to be fashionable. So since it is still spring and you haven’t brought out all your summer clothes yet, let’s start with simple jeans and layered top. In the picture above, I have on a loose summer tank top underneath a light weight sweater. Notice I have the sleeves rolled a bit to make the outfit more cool. The trick to layering is always have the top layer brushing your hip. If you wear something long over something longer you will look two inches tall, and I would hate for that to happen. With the top layer coming about to the hip it adds height (and in my case, so do the wedges). Now when layering a dress or skirt, still keep the top layer length rule but add a “flowy” skirt or dress underneath. Yes, you can continue layering all summer because despite common belief you will NOT die of a heat stroke if you add a light layer. I think if you try this tip out, you will really enjoy the flattering look it creates.
