The Prettiest Layering Combination Everyone's Wearing

Whether you’re blessed with an innate sense of how to layer, or achieving a dynamic look requires a quick scan on Pinterest or your favorite fashion website (who, us?), there’s something deeply rewarding about coming up with an unexpected, interesting outfit. Case in point: today’s duo, a tank top over a shirt. Ladies near and far have been gallivanting around with slinky camisoles and slip dresses worn on top of knits, tees, and the ilk. Why do we love it? Not only does it extend the life of your warm-weather spaghetti straps, but it also opens up a world of combinations you may never have thought were possible. Interested in trying it out? Scroll through our inspiration gallery for ideas, and if you need a new camisole, shop our picks!

Teisbaek is our secret weapon when it comes to layering ideas. Her knack for what goes together alongside her amazing taste level makes her a go-to when it comes to this sort of thing. This fringed camisole over a simple mock-neck top is divine.

If you have an old slip dress laying around that you won’t wear till holiday party season, stick it on top of a white tee and accessorize with your favorite sneakers for a quick, cool girl–approved look.

If you’re up for the challenge, try a bow blouse underneath a printed cami, belt the two, and then finish the outfit off with a pair of frayed-hem jeans and embellished pumps.
