FAQs
Start with two pieces: a tee and a cardigan or button-front shirt. Try a solid tee underneath a patterned shirt, or a striped tee beneath a solid cardigan. Keep the combination simple and build around styles you already enjoy wearing.
Choose one patterned piece and pair it with a solid. Pick a color from the pattern for your other layer, or use a neutral to keep the look understated. Two solid pieces in different shades are another easy place to start.
Don't automatically size up; check the individual item's size chart and fit notes first. Try it on over the tee you plan to wear, and check for pulling at the shoulders, sleeves and front. Compare each style's fit rather than assuming every layer needs a larger size.
