Make your wardrobe look new and functional with maximum versatility with these layering tips from wardrobe consultant Barbara King.

  • Layering works by adding or replacing key elements of a basic outfit to take it from day to evening, for example.

  • The five basics you need for effective layering include the following:

    1. T-shirt--in several basic colors such as black, white and khaki

    2. black pants without pleats (which add bulk)

    3. Button-down shirts

    4. jackets in colors such as khaki, denim, and black and in varying lengths

    5. patterned tops
