The Secret Sauce Behind Layering & Color Matching

About this video

• Centeno identifies essential layering pieces including collared shirts, sports jackets/blazers, knitwear like quarter zips and v-neck sweaters, and over shirts, and emphasizes proper fit and proportions are critical to making layers work together
