So. This is LOOONNGGGG overdue, but here is a little look of the day
taken from before uni started getting hectic! It may be getting really hot
right now in Australia but it’s certainly getting colder on the opposite side
of the world, and for you Northern Hemisphere people, here is an outfit fitting for
slightly-cold-but-not-yet-freezing weather.
Leather Jacket: American Rag | Hoodie: Walmart | Collared Tee: Thailand
Jeans: H&M | Shoes: Converse
From bottom to top, I have my white converses, which I will forever
wear with anything and everything because they are never a mismatch. For
bottoms I have an acid wash-like light coloured pair of jeans from H&M, and
up top I’ve got triple layers!
My strategy for good layering is to show off the most interesting
parts of each piece. I mean I don’t know about you, but I like to have each
layer visible, just because it’s a whole lot more interesting aesthetically.
Inside, I have an old polo tee from Thailand, and for outerwear I have layered
two jackets. I put on the hoodie inside because I wanted some sort of hood in
case it rained, and because the material is softer than the faux leather
jacket. When layering outerwear, particularly when adding a hoodie underneath a
more structured jacket (denim, leather, etc) make sure that the inside layer is
either thin, or that the outer layer is loose. As warm as tight fitting is, it
can get uncomfortable and restricting, at least for me, and if you want to
remove layers it might be a struggle if the two pieces of outerwear are
practically stuck together!
Anyways, as you can see, the collar, the bright green and the
collar/lapel of the leather jacket are all showing, making it a bit more
interesting especially since I went for quite muted colours overall.
HAVE FUN
Nyssa.
