Speaking of our next guest,
having a complete wardrobe with
pieces that coordinate and layer
is key as we go into winter.
And if you can make it happen,
it really gets makes getting dressed for
the day more easy and and more fashionable.
You just feel good when
you walk out the door.
And my friend Darcy Camden has
just the information we need for
wardrobe building and layering.
Now layering is hard if you don't
want to look like a big like Ohh mom,
I want to go to school.
You know, like a big **** ball.
Oh totally layering.
Important for two reasons.
One, warm.
Yeah, it's getting cold and we
need to be wearing thicker things.
But you don't wanna be so so bulky that
you look bad or puffy or like a schlump.
Yeah, yeah.
So you want to do it in a
way that is stylish, yes.
But also,
layering can be a great way to expand your
wardrobe without really even adding anything.
If you find new combinations,
pair things together,
make things look different,
you can wear them over and
over in different ways.
I like that.
And it's fun.
Everybody likes that,
because then you don't have to really
expand your closet that much totally.
Maybe one or two things.
But then you're making so many more outfits.
So let's get started.
You've got some key tips on layering,
and our models are ready.
So let's get started.
First is tonal layering,
and that was inspired by
Naomi Watts in the Watcher.
I don't know if anybody's watched this show,
but Naomi Watts,
her wardrobe in this is like all
kinds of creams and tans and neutrals.
Someone's trying to get her and she's like,
running.
Around New York and looking fabulous.
Kashmir it's been you can
catch me I'm so fabulous.
Everyone on the Internet is talking
about it is like a big style
trend lots of great layering.
It's really kind of a master
class by layering this one.
So we're going to do,
we're going to build this look and I
love getting to do this in real time
because putting the looks together
this is usually what I do backstage,
right that nobody gets to see.
So we're going to do it do it here.
So we're starting with a vegan
leather pants from Aritzia.
OK these are so great.
Not real leather.
And guess what you can machine wash them.
No you cannot are fantastic.
Ohh,
that's genius.
OK,
and we do a great fitted black turtleneck.
OK,
one of my rules for layering
is as you add pieces,
you should still be able to
see everything because what's
the point of adding it if you
can't see it when you're done?
A good point I see.
So, so we've got.
We added now a cardigan sweater.
OK,
so now we're going to do adding tone on tone.
When you're doing cream
over cream over cream,
it's really important to have
different textures. So we've got.
Shininess of the vegan leather.
We have a chunky knit cardigan. OK.
And then we're gonna do this wool vest piece.
I this is like a sleeveless trench.
This is from Zara.
It's under $100. It's belted.
It just creates this beautiful long line.
And it's so great as a layering piece because
we still get to see the sleeve of a sweater.
So if you have a jacket or a sweater,
something that was a complicated sleeve
that if you were to put a blazer over it,
it gets too bulky sleeveless.
It's too bad away.
Nice hack. I love it.
And then we're gonna lean even more
into accessories here, just adding more
of the colors that we already have.
I so she's got a complete outfit,
but it's not too much because it's really
just a simple color palette of two tones.
This is genius. I love it.
Ohh my gosh, you look fabulous.
Thank you.
OK, now we got one for the guy.
Alright, let's see the guy.
So we're starting with a grey Jean, OK.
And a long sleeve undershirt.
OK, great hack for any guy who is.
Running like running cold, right?
Just switch your short sleeve undershirt too.
A long sleeve undershirt.
OK then we did a button down collar
chart and I'm gonna have you
button it all the way up to here.
This is from theory and I picked it
because it has multiple neutrals happening.
Yes, I like black, Gray, blue.
It can layer with some more interesting
than like a typical like a Buffalo Plaid.
Totally.
Have I told you how I don't like Buffalo?
Don't like Buffalo Plaid?
Yeah,
but I like this big check style
with the different day and now
we're gonna add a cardigan.
The zip,
which is really versatile
because you could wear it open,
you could zip it all the way up,
you could do it half or you could
do it as we're going to do right
to a three quarter,
OK then we're going to add.
So he's still would need a jacket
if he's going to go outside
because it's it's 36 degrees.
So we're going to add this Cohan
jacket that is a nice jacket.
I still left the tag on
it from Nordstrom Rack.
It's a great deal,
but I love kind of the texture and the
detail of the subtle Plaid and then
we're just going to add a scarf again.
We're just using colors that are
already kind of in the outfit.
Mixed a lot of plaids here.
Yeah, but they're all the same color.
So all the same colors.
I didn't know that you could do that.
You're you can add more if you're
just sort of doubling down,
adding to a palette that you've
already created. I love it. Yeah.
This looks great. Thank you.
Oh,
and let's point out the shoe and the belt.
They should match.
The shoe and the belt should match.
They match. OK. OK.
That's good to have an element of the outfit.
Alright, I like it. Thank you so much.
Next, Are you ready for the
greatest Internet hack of all?
Yeah. OK. Our third model, Joan,
is wearing a fantastic dress that's $35.
I'll put the link. It's at Zara right now.
I think this is great for the holidays.
This is a great product. So much.
And how many of us have a belt like this?
I don't have an NFL like that.
Your closet that you haven't worn forever
structure show you a great layering
hack with a stretchy belt like that.
So you're gonna run that around your waist.
We're going to attach it in the back.
Oh, so we're not showing the belt buckle.
And the belt is actually not
going to even show at all.
Ohh, really? OK, now here, John,
I'm going to give you this.
So we're going to put a sweater over, OK?
And then?
So without the belt, it would wear long.
Yeah, fine.
But a little bit like, not the greatest.
Yeah, especially you're like me,
Joe, we're not the tallest of people.
So like when you wear something long,
it makes us look like, so look,
you can just tuck right in and that
will stay, raise your waistline. OK.
So comfortable added layer of warmth,
but we still also get to see the
green from the turtleneck here.
OK,
we're going to add a pop of color because
we're making this a little bit festive.
For the holidays, we're gonna do that, OK?
We're gonna do a great scarf like that.
And then?
We're going to put a jacket over because
she's already wearing so much. Yeah.
We can do a thinner jacket so that the
total outfit doesn't look too bulky.
I see that super.
She'll still be warm in that.
She's also got a warm tight on.
She's got boots.
And so this is great for like a really
cold day, but it's not too overwhelming.
I love that you look so, so great.
I and. And festive too.
Where did you get that scarf?
I need to have it.
Nordstrom rack. Really.
OK yeah.
Yeah.
And it's also,
I feel like.
Kind of still in that tonal area
where the the colours are all
just so matching and beautiful.
And if you think about like you
could do different sweaters,
you can do different jackets,
you can do different scarves.
So just taking a formula like this,
you could swap in different pieces and
one dress could be so many outfits.
I love this.
I love all your hacks for layering.
I feel like I should have asked you
this when I moved here almost 10 years
ago because now it seems to make sense.
Thank you so much, Sir.
Thank you. Thank you to Joan.
