I'm from India and we have an outfit kind of similar to dresses over pants. They're called Kurtis and kurtas and are basically a long dress with 2 slits on the side, it helps show the texture of the pant below while still maintaining the breeziness of a dress. I've tried pairing dresses with huge slits with pants and it definitely works for me. Thank you for making such an attainable and comprehensive guide especially for those of us who live in tropical countries, it had felt impossible to create interesting outfits until this video<33

everyone is putting slim and fit people when they are giving examples of outfits, and i can't help but think i could never look good wearing something like they do. but when people give examples of plus size models and outfits i see that yes, i can look this way too 🥺 thank you for adding those examples!

Fashion advice that is actually advanced, makes sense, looks good, and the reference pics are inclusive? I'm not even sure if this video is real or if it's just a nice dream I'm having

[virtualsandra]

I love fashion but I’m so tired of everyone talking about trends. This video was such a great breath of air. Subscribed now, can’t wait to binge watch all your videos 😋

Layering is a privilege for people that doesn't live in super hot places.

Vests are literal lifesavers to making a bland outfit interesting. We stan vests 🙌🏻

My biggest styling inspiration/influence is definitely STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT! She has such a unique, detailed and varied style, she makes anime/TV shows/cartoon inspired videos and nails every outfit she comes up with! Just like you, I would not be where I am with my style without her videos!!

As a kid, layering was the only way I was allowed to dress alt lmao. Now it's an integral part of my daily fashion as an adult

[enyasversion]

i'm so glad that you included all body types and people with the reference pictures!

This video is so good. It gives such a clear intro to layering. And it's so nice to see plus-size people used as the fashion inspo here. In so many video's they only show outfits on thin people, which is great but lacks a relatability for me. What looks good on one body type doesn't look the same on the other. So seeing people with bodies I can relate to makes this video just that much better. Thank you!

[elizdiniz]

I really love the inclusivity/diversity in your example pictures! Love seeing different bodies; it helps with getting a better bigger picture.

This is the first time I’ve watched a video and thought “I could be fashionable with what I already have”.

Thanks for breaking things down.

Another thing to add with layering that wasnt touched on here: tights and socks! Tights under socks, multiple layers of socks, all three! Black sheer tights, lacy socks and a colored sock over it! Socks with strappy sandals! So many added options to consider :] same with leg and arm warmers!

I wear berets all the time and I have a lot of vintage brooches. I'll pin one to a beret and it instantly adds an interesting layer to the outfit. This video has been one of my favorites! Thanks for posting.

It's too hot for layering in Australia rn but you can still do accessories! I have some brooches that are little plastic insects (with a brooch pin glued on with E6000) and I always get compliments on them! I ombre dyed some green pants the other day and they kinda look like spring onions so I was thinking of making a spring onion from fabric as a weird accessory haha

[siennide]

this video actually saved my life. Im very new to fashion, my only knowledge coming from god damn jojo's bizarre adventure, and so im not very confident with it. This video is super helpful for a begginer and very easy to understand. the second after watching this video, all my fits improved tenfold.

I've recently started wearing cool leggings under my jeans with a huge rip at the knee - love the detail that comes through

[thisisnotausernameXD]

Some more accessories that work with layering: chunky socks folded over boots, sheer or lace/crochet detail socks under other socks where the detail peeks out, tights, fishnets, etc; gloves can be similar to socks. I like the idea of wraparound style skirts or skirts with slits over fuller silhouette pants.

You reminded me of my obsession with Ashlee Simpson's style in the early 2000s. She was the queen of punk girl layers, even her hair was full of layers! But when she rocked the pleated skirt over jeans, with two different belts, man, iconic.

I LOVE the diversity in your example pictures! They all look stunning and it shows that fashion truly is for everyBODY!
