The Art of Layering: Emalina’s Styling Tips

When it comes to mastering the art of layering, Emalina has you covered with our versatile collection of blouses, formal shirts, and half coats. Layering is not just about adding warmth; it's also about adding depth and dimension to your outfit. Whether you're dressing up for a formal event or keeping it casual for a day out with friends, here are some styling tips to elevate your layering game.

Start with a Flowy Basic Blouse:A flowy basic blouse is a wardrobe staple that can be dressed up or down. Pair it with jeans for a casual look or layer it under a blazer for a more formal outfit. The key is to choose a blouse that fits well and complements your body shape.
Accessorize with Belts: Belts are a great way to add definition to your waist and create a more polished look. Try cinching in your blouse with a belt to accentuate your figure and add a touch of elegance to your outfit.
Layer with Formal Shirts: Formal shirts are another versatile piece that can be layered under sweaters, wool half coats, or jackets. They add a touch of sophistication to your outfit and can be worn in both formal and casual settings. Try layering a formal shirt under a sweater for a preppy look or pair it with jeans for a more laid-back vibe.
Add a Half Coat for Warmth and Style: A half coat is the perfect outer layer for those chilly days. It adds an extra layer of warmth without sacrificing style. Pair it with a blouse or formal shirt and trousers for a chic office look or layer it over a dress for a night out. An additional point is that half coats are super trendy this season, so it would be a plus to consider when layering.
Mix Textures and Fabrics: Don't be afraid to mix and match different textures and fabrics when layering. Pair a formal shirt with a woolen half coat for a luxurious look or layer a lace top under a blazer for a feminine touch.
Experiment with Colors and Prints: Layering is a great way to experiment with colors and prints. Try mixing bold colors with neutral tones or layering different prints together for a fun and eclectic look. For example, our wool half coat with a fun color underneath would be a great idea for an outfit!
Focus on Fit: When layering, it's important to pay attention to the fit of each piece. Choose garments that fit well and flatter your body shape to create a cohesive and stylish look.
Add Accessories: Accessories like scarves, hats, and jewelry can add the finishing touch to your layered outfit. Experiment with different accessories to add personality and flair to your look.
