What is Layered look ?
In practice, a Layered look is easy to notice: it is an outfit composed of several layers of clothing.
But it is also a dress style in your own right, it is not enough to put layers of fabric on top of each other to make a success of its Layered look.
Layered look, also superimposed look, is more than just a "look". For its followers, it's a true reflection of their non -conformist lifestyle.
The real superimposed look means more than simply wearing multiple layers of clothing on top of each other. It is also not an element of the "onion look" or a component of the trend Autumn-Winter "layering". Layered look, is more than just wearing clothes on top of each other. Fans of layering look match their lifestyles with their fashion choices: both unusual and comfortable, sensitive to quality and respect for the environment.
Origin of Layered look
This way of dress started in Germany with designers like Rundholz, Hebbeding, Zuza Bart, Sarah Pacini, Privatsachen and many others That doesn't mean that Germany has introduced overlay clothing. Indeed, many creative women around the world, including traditional designers, superimpose their clothes for centuries. In fact, I suppose we all create a Layered look every day in our own way, from the moment we start to dress. However this terminology has started to snowball and take off, and today many sellers use this word to describe the clothes they sell.
The origin of this style is simple to understand. The customer of "layered look" love the exquisite sensation of a beautiful fabric on her skin, and even more so when it is made of natural material. She also likes to stand out from others. She doesn't therefore follow any fashion trend dictated by the movements of general opinion, on the contrary she assumes and likes to be different, to follow her own tastes. Her clothes express her independence, her creativity, her personal sense of fashion and her love for sumptuous textures, details and coulours.
Layered look adapts to the one wearing it, so it offers a timeless look and there is now an established community of the Layered look. Its followers made a voluntary and conscious decision to be part of this fashion culture. They know where the stores and online stores are, offering original sets and unique pieces to compose their layering outfits. And the creators of this bohemian and hippie style know their customers: they need a particular piece, when they are looking for a certain brand of organic clothing or a collection of unstructured clothing.
Today many brands enable to play superimpositions or Layered look. The most popular are Privatsachen, Rhum Raisin, Ewa i Walla, Les Ours, Grizas, Nook... and many other are added to this list.
What distinguishes it ?
Women who dress in Layered look want sumptuous fabrics, finished with handmade natural clothes like linen and cotton. Gathered clothes are in high demand because they are easy to clean and made from high quality standards based on sustainable and fair practices. This desire to display an ecological style can also appear in terms of accessories that embellish the look. They can be made of wood, leather of felt.
How to wear it ?
This Layered look represents refinement and freedom of movement. The comfort of these casual clothes is just as important as its aesthetics. The typical characteristics of these linen and natural fabrics are the pointed borders, the cloak shapes, the pleat details and the asymmetrical cuts that reflect the dynamism exuberance and joie de vivre of the wearer.
This brings me to my own interpretation of the Layered look. It's for me the art of making every woman, of any age and any size, seems and feels wonderful in her clothes, creating superimpositions that capture the beauty of body shape. We are all of very different shapes and sizes, the basic terminology includes pear-shaped, apple-shaped...
