# How the fashion set is tackling layering this season, from jewellery to wrapped ankles and 'drousers'

No, really.

If you thought layering was exclusively about [cardigans](https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/gallery/best-long-cardigans-to-buy-now) and [coats](https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/gallery/womens-winter-coats), you maybe been living in the dark ages. Or, at least, your teenage wardrobe...

Over the last few seasons, the [fashion](https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/topic/fashion) set have taken to the concept like an Olympic sport, constantly out-smarting one another with _more_ layers in unexpected formations. And, what with the upcoming - largely 'virtual' - festive season, now is the perfect time to experiment with different levels of layering before braving them in the real world.

Here are the six layering techniques to get on board with alongside [springs hottest trends](https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/gallery/spring-summer-2021-fashion-trends)...

## 1\. THE DOUBLE COAT

A relatively self-explanatory one... This layering style is not one for the faint-hearted. It's also not one for a balmy afternoon, but rather better saved for those days that there's a real chill. Not one to be reserved solely for winter, for next season try it via a coat-atop-a-jacket as opposed to coat-on-coat.

## 2\. THE LONG SLEEVE

Possibly one of the most-common layering techniques, the long-sleeve - whether a roll-, round-, or V-neck - is one of those underrated pieces that renders almost all of your summer dresses viable any time of the year. And, contrary to popular believe, it doesn't necessarily make them look more casual. A fitted black roll-neck beneath a mini dress paired with [ankle boots](https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/gallery/ankle-boots-we-love) works perfectly for spring.

## 3\. THE MULTI-CHAIN

Yep, layering has made its way into our jewellery boxes. And while it may look as though the fashion set are haphazardly throwing the entire contents of theirs on at once, there is actually a very [finely-curated art when it comes to necklaces](https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/gallery/how-to-layer-jewellery). All chains must be of varying lengths - preferably of relative gradients - and ideally of different style.

## 4\. THE DROUSERS

Okay yes this is a made up word, but it's essentially just a dress over trousers - and it's becoming increasingly popular for those days where the weather is not quite sure what it's doing. Dress hemlines must be mid-length but that's about it in terms of rules and regs. Shirt dresses work particularly well, as the lower-half buttons can be left undone and flowing, making the look feel less heavy thanks to the flash of leg as you walk.

## 5\. THE ANKLE WRAPS

One of the more directional layering techniques, ankle-wrapping is a [trend](https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/gallery/autumn-winter-2019-fashion-trends) to have emerged in a big way over the the last couple of seasons. The must-have ingredients constitute a strappy sandal and a wide-leg trouser, and - unlike the more traditional trouser-over-sandal look - the sandal straps wrap _around_ the trouser leg to create a contemporary cuff.

## 6\. THE SHROBE

One of the classics of more recent times, the 'shrobe' sees a sweatshirt draped over the shoulders and often tied together at the arms in a look reminiscent of the way we'd wrap them around our waists as teenagers. What was once a merely practical move as a way of carrying a spare jumper whilst keeping yourself hands-free, the shrobe has become a very deliberate outfit addition in itself, with the layered sweatshirt adding a certain chic aloofness.
