Ask Brix: How to Layer

How do you do layering successfully? I like the idea but have never quite got the hang of it. Ellie

The easiest way to do layering is to wear a long thin vest in a light material underneath [4Beauty recommends this Topshop vest, £8]. On top, I usually wear a short-sleeved T-shirt or a V-neck sweater of a different colour, so you can see the underneath colour at the top and the bottom.

Another great way to layer is to wear sleeved T-shirts under sleeveless dresses - providing that the colours look good together and the patterns complement each other this can be a great way to make a summer dress trans-seasonal. The golden rule is: layer thicker fabrics on top of thinner fabrics.
