Fashion Must Have – Layering Tops

Fashion Must Have – Layering Tops

There’s no question that winter is upon us. And what I’m really trying to say is that it’s COLD. There are certain things that I love about cold weather, like snuggling under a down blanket, sipping a hot chocolate and sledding down a steep hill. But what I dislike most about the winter is being cold. And I am cold a lot. What’s a fashion-conscious girl to do when she only wants to wear big, fleecy sweaters, but doesn’t want to look like a winterized swamp thing? Wear layering tops!

It almost sounds implausible, but wearing several layering tops is a great way to stay cozy and chic. By their very nature, layering shirts are relatively thin shirts designed to be worn in tandem, most often as long-sleeved or ¾ length sleeved shirts under short-sleeved shirts or tank-tops under long-sleeved shirts. Not only do they keep women covered up in all the right places, but they are eternally stylish and popular among people of most ages. Layering tops are thin enough to be fashionable (without being overly-tight), and, when worn together, create fantastic warmth throughout the winter.

As it happens, I enjoy layering tops not only because they are cozy, but because they can create an endless array of looks. I mix pink layering shirts under gray sweaters, grey layering shirts under black sweaters and black tank tops under just about everything. I also own several white layering tops which I use to add a splash of light to a dark outfit or to protect my skin against a scratchy winter sweater.

I love layering tops so much that I ended up buying a bunch for my children, who also use them under jumpers, sweaters or T shirts. I can even purchase sleeveless dresses for my daughters as I know that they can wear layering shirts underneath to be both modest and warm. Although my children are warm-blooded (like their father) instead of constantly cold (like me), they enjoy the ability to wear layering tops instead of sweaters, which they (rightfully) note are less bulky and much prettier than huge sweaters.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that women no longer need to hide under giant fleece sweaters in order to stay warm- why not try some layering tops to look great and feel warm?

Modest Women’s Clothing is Fashionable!

Modest Women’s Clothing is Fashionable!

I consider myself a fashionable dresser.  I care about what I look like when I leave the house and I want my clothing to fit nicely, feel comfortable and look fabulous.  I put on makeup (not just lipstick!) before I leave the house.  And yet, while I am working hard to look my best, I also want to make sure that my clothing reflects my personality- which is why I wear modest clothing.

For me, wearing modest clothes is about expressing who I am as an individual.  I enjoy letting my fashion choices express my individuality rather than letting my physical body serve as the yardstick upon which I am measured.

People often ask me if my modest clothes (not to be confused with hideous clothing) make me sweat in the summer heat.  My answer is both simple and honest- yes, modest clothes can make someone feel warm.  To stay cool I wear a lot of breathable fabrics such as cotton and viscose, which keep me comfortable- and chic.  More importantly, I suspect that under the blazing sun, someone wearing a tank top is probably uncomfortably warm as well.  I know this because I used to wear tank tops and bathing suits.  And shorts and short-sleeved T-shirts.  And I was hot then as well.  But it’s ok to be hot because it’s the summer.

There is plenty of women’s summer clothing available today that is both modest and trendy.  The best designers appreciate the versatility that modest clothing can add to their summer collection.  You may be surprised by how much is out there that can look fabulous without compromising your modesty.  So take a peek around, enjoy browsing through the diverse women’s summer clothing that is available, and find something that will make you feel both modest and beautiful- because after all, you deserve to look beautiful all year long.
