Layering clothes is an art form, one dictated by proportion, texture, and the amount of energy you're willing to put into MacGyvering an outfit. It can feel like getting dressed on hard mode; challenges include playing with a button-down's collar so it peeks out just so, building a shirt sandwich that doesn't swallow your torso whole, and pulling off the offbeat dress-over-pants trend, arguably the final boss of layering.
Despite its many complexities, outfit layering is a styling skill worth mastering because it's a foolproof method to making your outfits more interesting. It'll also help you leave the house feeling productive with your personal style—like you've worked on building your fashion muscles, just as you would your actual muscles in the gym.
