6 Tips On How To Layer Men's Clothes with Style - Clothing Layering Techniques in Classic Menswear

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to layering in classic menswear, distinguishing between invisible layering (undershirts and long underwear for warmth) and visible layering (using multiple garments and accessories to create aesthetic depth). They teach six layering techniques—monochromatic, contrasting colors, alternating solids and patterns, multiple patterns, coordinating colors, and strategic fabric interactions—and demonstrate eight key layering garments including waistcoats, cardigans, sweaters, scarves, ascots, pocket squares, overcoats, and boutonnieres.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that invisible layering (undershirts, long underwear) should match skin tone and use deep-cut v-necks to stay hidden, while visible layering creates aesthetic interest through garments and accessories
• The Gazette team recommends avoiding similar colors or patterns placed directly next to each other; instead, use contrasting layers to break up the look and create visual harmony
• The Gazette team teaches that layering items like waistcoats, cardigans, pocket squares, and scarves are essential for classic menswear, with pocket squares being particularly impactful for tying an outfit together through coordinating colors
