Layering (clothing)

In fashion, layering is the addition of items of clothing over each other in order to create a unique outfit and to make best use of the aesthetic or functional properties of different garments. Wearing layers of clothes allows the wearer to shed or add layers according to changes in weather conditions, activity level and body temperature. Layering is mainly used in the winter months, where it is almost essential to layer, but layering can also be used in summer. Layering is often recommended for outdoor activities such as hiking.
