If you like them both, might as well wear them together. Piedmont’s signature trend isn’t only the stomping combat boot, but also layers. Winter in California isn’t as chilling as the East Coast, as we all know, but the shining sun and biting wind make it difficult to dress for the weather. We strut in dresses in 50 degree weather by tucking a turtleneck underneath. We even let camis exist in winter by throwing long sleeves underneath, and a warm jacket over. Playing with layers, however, still hasn’t fizzled out, and it’s almost summer. It seems this trend is here to stay, even under the burning sun. Layers are not just for dressing for cold weather; they are a statement of creativity. You can mix and match, and brighten up an outfit just by wearing a simple white tee under a black cami or dark dress. “I think that layering is a very cool and unique way to elevate any outfit. I especially love when girls layer varying prints and aren’t afraid to try a new combination,” said junior and stylist at McMullen, Dani Skov. This trend could either go very right or very wrong. Something to keep in mind when attempting to rock a layered look is making sure that the individual items don’t clash, or you will end up looking like you did when you dressed yourself in Kindergarten. Also, make sure that the base layer is tight enough, so you don’t look like you are swimming in your clothes. High school is the time to experiment, so don’t be shy to try the trend of layers.
