Casual: Layering

Here at UnregisteredStyle, we have celebrated the first few weeks of spring in pure excitement! We appreciate seasonal elements including flower blossoms, rain showers, and warmer temperatures.

On a perfect spring this season, we would love to wear bright colors, thinner fabrics, and statement pieces. However, in the Northeast, we haven’t experienced the full effects on Spring yet. The average daily temperature ranges between 35 to 50 degrees, with a high chance of rain showers. Thus, an early April wardrobe consists of a combination of bright and thick layers.

Below is an alternate way to strategically wear layers this season.

We at UnregisteredStyle agree! The great thing about layering is that we are able to stay warm and look fashionable at the same time. In addition, the number of layers is never a problem. You can always take two or three off depending on your current situation.

As a general rule, consider mixing and matching some winter and spring clothing. For Rodney, he is wearing a combination of spring and winter garments.

For starters, check out his thick, over-sized cardigan.We adore cardigan! It has the appearance of a blazer, but has the thickness of a sweater. Its perfect if you are headed out on a windy day. Also, the texture of the cardigan looks amazing against Rodney’s plaid shirt. You can’t go wrong with a plaid shirt that consists of the primary color family.

Rodney dressed down his entire look with a pair of jeans from Urban Outfitters and his favorite paid of New Balances.

“I would wear this outfit to a social gathering that was not upscale. Just hanging with friends or going out to the mall or movies.” -Rodney
