How to Use Layering Essentials to Enhance Your Modest Wardrobe
If you are looking at finding more versatility, and getting use from the items in your existing wardrobe, definitely consider layering pieces! Inherit Co. has such a wide range of layering options to help further style the pieces that you already love, and maybe finally get use out of items that haven’t been working for you for one reason or another. Layering pieces range from tanks, leggings, slips, demi tanks, and so much more! Layering pieces can transform an outfit, and help you feel confidently covered, while still being breezy and comfortable. I hope this guide will help you expand your creative possibilities within your very own wardrobe!
Slips & Slip Dresses
Have you ever donated or passed on a pretty floral dress because you could awkwardly see right through it? You would be surprised how comfortable slip dress can be under your outfit! There’s this magical thing a slip dress does where it slightly hugs your body, making you feel contained, covered, and secure under your outfit. No more awkward realization of noticing your panty lines are seen, or that your legs are visibly silhouetted under your dress. A slip dress layers so smoothly and comfortably, and can even work as a layering piece when a top or dress comes down a bit low at the neckline. Your skirt too sheer and top too low? No worries! “Slip in” to a slip dress (pun intended!) and be worry free. Your confidence of coverage will sky rocket with this one simple layering hack! Oh and bonus, they make super comfy nightgowns as well! Win win.
Layering Tanks & Demi Tanks
Ahh the sigh of relief a comfy and smoothing layering tank top can give. Sheer blouses can be so beautiful for a business look, or for a church outfit, but often come with the disadvantage of being see-through. Having layering tanks in some good solid neutral colors is a must! White or ivory tanks are perfect for pairing under chunky sweaters in the cooler weather to keep from itchy materials bothering your skin, and to also add an extra dimension of warmth. And of course, who doesn’t love the smoothing effect a tank can give under your outfit? Sizing down in your tank is the easiest way to get that snatched smoothness without the fuss of compressive pieces.
A newer version of layering tanks taking the fashion world by storm, are demi tank ! Demi tanks are a major life hack in and of themselves! They are essentially cropped shirts made to wear under your everyday tops and dresses. They add the modest layering at the neckline or the arms without the extra bulk of fabric in your mid section. Demi tanks are great for maternity and nursing mamas as well! They sit comfortably above the bump, and are easy access for breastfeeding if needed. But regardless of your stage in life as a woman, these special cropped shirts are a must! Square necklines are all the rage right now, but often tend to be so low in the back or front when sold through the mainstream fashion industry. Layering with a demi tank can give that extra material needed to feel modest, without having to cover up the beauty of the dress. Having a nude colored demi tank can be an absolute game changer to your modest wardrobe!
Leggings
Do you know the glorious hug of leggings under your outfit in the cooler weather? It’s like the equivalent to a mug of hot coco. You know how toddlers are with their security blankies? That’s us skirt girls with our leggings! The Inherit designed no-cling leggings will change your life. So easy to pair under all the things when the weather is cooler; and the best part, they will not stick, aka: CLING to your skirts and dresses. Leggings can be undetectable, even with your Sunday best! A fan favorite for layering under those floral dresses on a Sunday morning is the neutral tan no cling leggings from Inherit. They are a nude tone that are almost invisible even with the lightest colored outfits. Black, brown, and navy leggings have their place as well! I think every girl needs at least a *few* basic black pair of leggings in her closet. They can look so chic with a black pencil skirt, or even with denim. So comfortable and easy to move in, and I promise no judgment if you decide to keep them on to sleep at the end of the day.
Incorporating layering pieces into your wardrobe is essential for effortless modesty with so many styling possibilities! By choosing the right layering piece, you can really prolong the styling options for any dress, skirt, or blouse! Wether it’s adding that slip dress for more coverage and smoothness under your outfit, or slipping on a cozy pair of leggings under your denim skirt, those layering pieces can offer so much comfort and versatility to items in your wardrobe that you may have been avoiding.
Spring through winter, layers are absolutely essential, and Inherit Clothing has all the categories covered, to keep you confident in your everyday life. Because it’s underneath that counts, literally. 😉
